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.

TEN

1
(Lord of my life) How tell Thee the story of my shame.
There is no sin
That I did not commit
Thousands of times and more, Oh Lord.

2
The fruit of those transgressions
Weighs me down in this life ?
Who is now to blame?
At the time knowing well,
Deliberately I refused to consider the end ?
Yet now I want to be saved.

3
According to the offence
Punishment Thou wilt award,
And I shall be put into the bondage of this world:
Even so, through the cycle of those births,
In the company of Thy devotees,
May my mind ever repose at Thy feet.

4
This wise, cunning, desire of mine
I lay at Thy feet;
The pride of my heart is gone;
Kindest to the humble;
Thy unalloyed mercy
Is now Bhaktivinode's only hope.

Often people try so hard to find happiness through sense pleasure that they may attempt to gratify several or all of their senses at the same time. For example, you may simultaneously be watching TV, listening to the radio, munching potato chips, sipping beer, and smoking a cigarette. Perhaps you may have your arm around the shoulders of your girlfriend or boyfriend. You may also have a magazine at your side, which you look at during commercials. You try to fill up every sense; yet still you?re not satisfied; still you want something more.
