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.

TWENTY-TWO

1
Whom Thou will'st to slay who can protect?
The three world are subject to Thy will.
Brahma and all the gods are Thy servants numberless.
They all carry out Thy commands.

2
In accordance with Thy will all the planets constantly shed
The gifts of their good and evil influences.
Disease, sorrow, death, fear
Obey Thy will.
Thy command ever prevails.

3
Fear of Thee makes the wind blow and the sun and the moon
And everything perform it's allotted task.
Thou art the Supreme Lord, great beyond all things and the goal absolute.
Thou hast Thy abode in the heart of the devotee.

4
Eternally pure with every wish fulfilled
Thy Name is love for Thy devotees;
The eternal lord of those that love only Thee
Whom Thou protect?st who can slay?
Thou art the laws of all laws.

5
At Thy feet, Oh Lord, Bhaktivinode, Thy servant,
Has made his submission
From all danger his master will surely deliver him -
This faith he doth cherish.


Everyone is engaged in action. The law of karma means that there are reactions to every action and that a person must endure the reactions to his actions.
