6.Infinite Devotion (Anant Bhakti)
Dialogue
Basanti:
Dear Radha, Now my heart is full of peace.
Slowly the experience of TRUTH is dawning on me.
I feel as if I am a microcosm of the unknown, endless, infinite, consciousness
If we can unify with this cosmic consciousness then spiritual progress is sure. Isn't it?
Radha:
This aspect of unifying is in itself a very significant transformation in life.
Nisha:
Transformation? What kind of transformation?
Radha:
The same kind of transformation, as occurs in the life of a newly wed bride.
Jamuna:
Radha dear! What do you mean?
Radha:
Just like a newly wed bride, beautifies her forehead with 'Sindur', vermillion powder,
In a somewhat similar manner,
In unifying with the infinite cosmic consciousness,
The 'Sahsrar Kamal' , symbolic of a thousand petalled lotus, of spiritual sublimation, blossoms in our crown.
And like the newly wed tends to get pulled back to her mother's home by emotional ties,
So also the devotee is pulled back by weaknesses like arrogance and ego.
Basanti:
So how is unification with cosmic consciousness finally achieved.
Radha:
Would you like to learn about this?
Song:
Reaching the Beloved Lord's abode(Sakhi Mo Piya Ke Ghar)
Radha:
Sakhi, I have arrived at my beloved's house
I've beautified my fore-head with vermillion
For the thousand petalled lotus is unfurled
Giving me a vision of my beloved
Then why should I be shy of the world
The bride falters at the house of her mother
Ego restrain my steps to the shrine
So at last I am taking leave of myself
To unify with my ' beloved divine'
And so ends Radha's Devotional Anthology
Aum Peace Peace Peace
