YOGA.
How well does the Yogi poet sing :
"The moon is up: they see the moon. I drink Thine eyebrow's light.
Big fair they hold, full crowded soon. I watch and watch Thee, source of Light. Nay, call no surgeons, doctors, none, For me my pain is all delight. Adieu, ye citizens, cities good-bye! Oh, welcome, dizzy, ethereal heights!
"O Fashion and custom, virtue and vice, O Laws, convention, peace and fight, O Friends and foes, relations, ties, Possession, passion, wrong and right, Good-bye, O Time and Space, good-bye; Good-bye, O world, and Day and Night, My love is flowers, music, light. My love is day, my love is night, Dissolved in me all dark and bright. Oh, what a peace and joy!
Oh leave me alone, my love and I, Good bye, good-bye, good-bye."- Rama.
Such is the good-bye of the Yogi when he renounces the false world to be absorbed in the Real. It is the music of the soul which has realized the illusory nature of this world of births and deaths, and caught a glimpse of the happy home beyond the Vale of Tears.
Robed in the beautiful white trousseau of spirituality, veiled in the halo of virgin purity, blushing with the hope of the realization of the sweetest of expectations of a maiden passion, forgetting the father, the mother, the brother, the sister, and other distracting ties of the world, having turned her back on the toys and things and other attractions of childhood's state, immersed gopika-like in the sweet meditation of the Cow-herd's*
* Krishna or Christos.
