The Story of Swami Rama

1924

In the purity of his joy there was no room for the sadness of selcrucifixion 1"ail Some of his selections from the literatures of the East and the West as in Aliph " and of his letters to one Dhanna Mal of Gujranwala a guide and friend of his when he was yet in his teens and other notes left by him are at places given in extenso as the best autobiographical notes of such as he. [...] He successfully dropped the dirt of learning ; and sought God in the dense forests and snows of the Himalayas all bare expoOng his inner fire to the regions of the Himlayan solitudes to see if all the snows could bury the flame of his heart ! In the close and loving embrace of Mother Nature lived this divine Man. [...] Thou seekest in globe and galaxy He hides in pure transparancy Thou seekest in fountains and in fires He is the essence that enquires He is the axis of the star He is the sparkle of the spar ; He is the heart of every creature ; He is the meaning of each feature And his mind is the sky ; That all holds more deep and high. [...] He is the Lover He the joy of Love And He the Beloved He is the garment fair of beauty And he the bed of luxury He is the fish He is the fisherman He is the net and the waters he He is the life And the death of All. [...] The man of illumined consciousness is seen in the prison house and even in the still worse prison of the body self-fettered by his very hands but there lie his fetters in the prison while he roams free in the infinite ! In the dark cells the man of God with his hand in the hand of God though cast a prisoner is free.
