An Era Of Cosmic Oneness
Monday, September 1st, 2014
Do we remember this day, 31 August… it is 6 years since our Beloved Lord blessed this day with His unique, unparalleled touch of sublime grace, the day He chose to revise the ancient Vedic Universal Mantra, “Lokaah Samastha” into “Samastha Lokaah…”. Who else could have dared to revise something the Vedas already proclaimed? Who else could have gifted, granted such a monumental panacea for humanity to transform His Creation into the dream state of Cosmic Oneness. Indeed this Mantra is the panacea for all human ailments, the antidote to wash away our karmic debts…and the most potent tool to make Him ‘happy’… Are we serious in our attempts…are we paying heed to His words… His ‘pleadings’ to refine and reform…into His proud properties…??? Let’s join the whole of His Creation, with folded hands, praying together to grant the Cosmic Oneness…thus Oneness With Sai… Let ‘Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu’ be established to bring this Golden Era into a Reality… a poem by Sri Jullie Chaudhuri celebrating the grant epochal birth of ”Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu”.
‘Peace For All Beings…Every Atom Of Creation’
i made a vow to myself…
…i realise that…
…this vow in itself -
…is a vow to my Higher Self…
…i made a vow to my Soul…
…i made a vow to my Goal…
…i made a vow to make every fragment…
…transform into a Whole…
…i made a vow…
…and in all sincerity…do i…
…softly beseech Beloved Mother Sai…
..to so allow and endow efficacy upon my vow…
…for…
…indeed am i committed to my vow…
So,
Won’t you join me, dear Sisters and Brothers…?
…i invite you here and now…
…support this undertaking…
…a myriad inspiring avenues help me plough…
…inasmuch as that i may…
…smoothly fulfil my vow…
…consistently…
…somehow…
My vow has a foundation…
…it consciously offers allegiance…
…to -
‘Peace For All Beings…For Every Atom Of Creation…’
…all creatures that receive the benevolent rays of the Sun…
Oh! Such classic magnanimity…
…exemplary indeed it is…
…that…
…sunshine assuredly touches one and all…
…every bit…sans distinction…
…in adherence to the Creator’s call…
…so justly ‘loving all…serving all…’
As a consequence, within me too…
…wonderful feelings emerge and ensue…
…that does with Kindred Oneness my mind imbue,
An enchanting whisper bathes the heart in many a wondrous hue -
‘Care For Life…Concern For Nature…
…Respect and Reverence For All Beings The Cosmos Through…’
Hence…
…with utmost focus and clarity…
…my vow connects and promotes -
Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu…
…so too…it does with avid awe resound -
Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
…if ‘Samastha Lokaah’ at a macro level…
…intends -
‘Peace for all beings in all the planets…’
Then…
‘Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…’
…skims the micro…
…and is more personalised at best…
A fascinatingly expansive and propitious chant…
…that reverberates an intent so innately noble and selfless…
…that could wash away countless…
…karmic debts…
…just a few moments of our time regularly…
…in these wholesome words we need invest,
For…
…so graciously indeed…
…in order to endorse and manifest…
…a brotherhood for me and you without much ado…
As well as,
…acceding to plaintive requests,
…emanating from…
…the meek, the harassed, the distraught and distressed…
…as well as from saints and sages…
…their forlorn petitions through ancient times did and do…
…the Lotus Feet persistently caress -
To herald in harmony…urgently at the earliest…
Thus so…
…this exquisitely perfect and magical mantra…
…quite appropriately…
…the Beloved Master did upon humanity bequest…
Resolute intonation of -
Samastha Lokaah/Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
…with focussed intent…
…would ensure that…
…with distinct unity and synchronicity…
…existence would remain eternally blessed…
All that i am and ever will be…
…is what my Beloved Mother Sai…
…makes of me…
And so,
All That i am and ever will be…
…i surrender to the Beloved One lovingly…
…in all humility…
At the precious petal soft Lotus Feet…
…my vow i do place…
…i seek Compassion and Grace…
…that i may feel, experience and know divinity…
…oh, so palpably…
…be drenched in an understanding deep and profound…
…that -
…it is Him…in each and every being…
…as well as in each and every object that is around me…
…this…is absolutely necessary…
…for Samastha Lokaah/Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
…to blossom and exude the fragrance…
…that it is meant to…
Subsequently…going on then…
…to swirl and magnify…expand and amplify…
…to embrace clime, time and space through and through…
Love and Goodwill for all beings creation through,
Peace and Harmony may all hearts accrue…
Whatever the crisis…the chaos…the violence…
…struggle, captivity, subjugation, terrorism…
…varied challenges…
…lack of concern, cruelty, mental turbulence,
…trampling of ethics…harassment of the weak…
… deception, pretence, vehemence,
…Samastha Lokaah/Samastha Jeeva encircles…
…and forms a defence…
…akin to a sapling that needs a protective fence…
When intoned with intense intent…
…and with empowered certainty…
…this sublime hymn…
…heralds the Dawn of Rescue…
…for it was bequeathed by the Eternal One…
…by Beloved Bhagawan…
…out of His Everlasting Love…
…for all created beings…
…granting all an integrated view…
…and this, dear ones…includes me and you…
…i made a vow to myself, Dear God…
…cardinally true it is…
…that my Self is You, sweet Lord,
…i made a vow to my Soul…my chosen Goal…
…my Soul…is You, Oh! Beloved Bhagawan…
…it is You in all, Oh! Cherished One…
…other than You…there is none…
…Oh! Supreme Soul…my sole goal is You…
Through eons gone by…
…more so in this singularly spectacular Advent…
…as Loving Mother Sai…
…my gushing adoration You have wholeheartedly won…
You are the only One…
…the Infinite and Eternal One…
Oh! Ultimate Truth…
Oh! Sovereign Absolute…
All creatures great and small…
…emerge from You…
Compel, impel, propel me to love them all…
Guide and command me to serve them all…
Isn’t this the true meaning and purpose of -
‘Love All…Serve All…
Peace For All Beings…The Cosmos Through…?’
Isn’t this the way i truly prove i love You…?
Oh! Precious Lord,
…isn’t this what pleases You…?
That we all radiate Samastha Lokaah Sukhino…
…that all hearts echo -
Samastha Lokaah/Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
Come and redeem us…Beloved Master…
Oh! Source of all Compassion…
…we entreat Thy mercy…
Come and do us so bless…
…into an Era of Cosmic Oneness…
