ATMACHINTAN-5:

Saint Muktabai continues to guide the young aspirant. This expression of hers brought transformation because in these aphorisms she describes the essentials of a Yogi. She begins by saying “Yogi is one who is truly pure mind, pure heart, pure thinking, pristine belief”. She goes further here and if we wish to understand what Bhagavan Nityananda meant when He said that an aspirant should have Sudha Bhavana. This post is part of the chapter Mukteshwari in my seva The Eternal One.:

एक आपण साधू झाले।
येर कोण वाया गेले ? ॥१॥
उठे विकार ब्रह्मी मूळ।
अवघे मायेचें गबाळ ॥२॥
माय समूळ नुरे जेव्हां।
विश्व ब्रह्म होइल तेव्हां ॥३॥
ऐसा उमज आदिअंतीं।
मग सुखी व्हावे संती ॥४॥
चिंता क्रोध मागे सारा ।
ताटी उघडा ज्ञानेश्वरा ॥५॥

Ekh Apan Sadhu Jhale, Yer Kon Vaya gele ||1||

You attained wisdom, but did others waste away?

Uthe Vikar Brahmi Mul, Awaghe Mayechi Ghabal ||2||

Such thoughts are ripples that gather worldly storms in the mind.

Maya Samul Nurve Jevhan, Vishwa Brahma Hohil Thewan ||3||

Rid your mind of illusions and see the world pure and simple.

Aisa Umaj Adhi Ananti, Magh Sukhi Vhave Santi ||4||

Let this truth accompany the beginning and end of every thought; then those who seek to find bliss eternal.

Chinta Krodha Maghe Sara, Tati Ughda Jneshwara ||5||

Come, sweep away anger and anxiety And Open the door, dear Brother!
