Listen O Yati, O Sanyasin !
As you take up this vow,
you should rivet the idea
in your mind
that you are the child
of the Nameless One.
You have also no name,
neither did you ever have it.
The name which represents you
belongs to your external form.
It indicates the state
that you have attained
through whirlpools of evolution
in the course of the flux of union and separation ;
and the body, in which you are dwelling,
is just your guest-house.
You have none,
nor had you anyone .
Take it for granted
that whatever you possess
does not exist at all !
You are the blessing
of the Lord of the universe,
and He is your all in all,
it is His living embodiment
that constitutes your ideal.
The roof of your house is the sky,
and the grass growing on the bosom
of the green mother-earth
is your bed,
the calamity of solace of nature
is His chastisement or loving kiss !
Bear it in mind
that you will have no food
when you are hungry,
you will have no water
when you are thirsty,
you will have no cloth to wear,
you will have no money,
when sick you will not be
provided with any
medicine or nursing,
your relations and family members,
who depend on you
for their subsistence,
may be crushed by suffering
and misery, right in front of you.
Perhaps everyone will hate you, insult you
and expose you to public censure,
still you will have to be
steady and untottering,
making your passions unexpectant,
cruelly ignoring their demands.
You will have to dwell
constantly in the Lord
with single-minded spiritual devotion
in unfaltering steps
with all active and
eloquent expression.
May desire for lust, wealth
or fame
never touch you;
you will have to consider
everyone
to be an evolved embodiment
of Him,
and install the ideal in him
i.e., in the throne of His
unquestioning love
through infusion
and that is your enjoyment.
Be pleased with whatever you obtain
as loving offer
and take it to be the
means of your livelihood.
Blessings welcome them
who can maintain self-complacence
under all circumstances
in the course of their
energized expansive achievement.
Listen again,
I tell you furthermore,
Your consciousness,
your enlightened awakening,
the endowment of your
spiritual aspirations,
which have embraced you
transforming yourself
as an offering to your ideal,
and which has found
fulfillment
in concentricity and sublimation,
fulfilling one and all,
in a mighty co-ordinate move
with awakening of
super-consciousness
and immortal bliss
in the dictum `never die, nor cause death
but resist death to death',
with all sober and somber flare
of thoughts , words, behaviour
and character,
is, indeed, a very great
and glorious consummation.
Do never desist from
imparting it
to every individual life,
every social life
every national life,
with an effulgence
of eternal becoming.
Let your conduct, your discipline,
your adherence, your thought,
your speech , your action
in a word, your whole life
exalt and enliven all,
with an immortal thrill
and glare of gladness
inducing unity, strength, stability,
mutual co-operation,
and ever-growing becoming."
