Who am I

Success in life begins with knowing, "Who am I? What is the purpose of my life?" Knowledge of the self exists; but sincere seekers are rare. More rare are the great teachers of such wisdom. Since time immemorial, wise men have described our wonderful nature: spiritual, primeval, ever-existing, undying, unchangeable, imperishable. This selection of the writings of Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa (Chris Butler) shares that timeless wisdom — inspiring, challenging , practical.

NINETEEN

1
I have surrendered my all at Thy feet;
I have thrown myself on Thy household.
Thou, the Supreme Lord, as Thy dog
Thou, the Supreme Lord, as Thy dog

2
Chaining me close to Thee Thou wilt maintain me;
I shall lie at Thy doorstep.
Who is opposed to Thee I will not allow to enter
I will ever keep him outside the bounds

3
What is left over of the favor of the refuse of Thy meals
After being honored by Thy own,
Will be my food every day;
On it I will feed with the greatest joy.

4
Sitting up or lying down, on Thy feet
I will meditate without a pause:
And dancing hie to Thee with joy
Whenever Thou callest.

5
I will never think for my own nourishment;
I will ever cherish love.
Bhaktivinode elects Thee as his protector.


Work has been done regarding the life force present in plants. In one typical experiment, electrical wires are connected from an electro sensitive meter to a plant. After a stable reading is obtained on the instruments, a small twig is cut from the plant. Invariably, at that moment, a significant response is perceivable on the meter, indicating that the separation of the twig has disturbed or agitated the plant.
