Nature Of The Universe

 

"The connection of being with non-being,

through the effort of reason,

the seers found in their hearts searching"

                                Rigveda Hymn 129

 

The truth about existence hidden in nature

- in the memory of each being,

which in the cordial intertwining of the Cosmos and the Earth

- begins its life,

because the son comes from the father, who is a ray,

but the Mother - the Earth in her womb bears and gives birth to him.

 

Therefore, in his essence he is identical with them,

"tat twam asi" - this is you

- just as the bard proclaims it.

 

So it is in every seed,

which takes root in the soil of the earth,

and with its crown rises to the sky.

So it is also in the bird,

which soars to the sky

and proclaims joy to the world in its flight.

This is how it is in a person,

when he bears love

and hugs other beings to himself,

because tenderness is what beings

- intertwines with itself and brings peace

and although life passes,

the image of existence lasts in the memory of the living.

 

But for a being to exist and develop,

it must take karma from its environment,

hence every life - bears the mark of death,

only in word and memory - lasts and does not perish.

 

The Captivating Power Of The Word

 

“In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God,

and the Word was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him,

and without Him nothing was made that was made.

In Him was life,

and the life was the light of men,

and the light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness did not overcome it”

Gospel according to St. John 1:1-5

 

In the word that the first bard

conceived with his thought from the feelings

and emotions that he carried in his heart,

he brought to life with his breath,

every being was born,

like a child on the night of Bethlehem

- naked - without clothing,

but full of love,

and full of desire

to liberate man

from the prison of the word

called law,

which brings slavery

- he nails to the cross.

 

For it, like the first bard

nailed to a pole in the sacrifice of priests

becoming letters, lost the attributes of life.

Deprived of breath, senses and feelings,

it became and endures like chewing gum

- by wise men, priests and politicians,

a tool for proclaiming principles without coverage,

with what the heart dictates;

people hide it in their memories,

it was replaced by a cold and deaf nome,

- poisoned by desires.

 

But read anew,

by those who love,

by tender hearts,

sensitive feelings,

they are able - a body laid in a grave

to bring back to life

and rebuild the ruined temple,

in which the light of truth,

spreads a rainbow

and man in man

sees mother, father, sister, brother,

in every being a living image of the world;

respects dignity;

defends rights, freedoms;

he does not seek sins,

because "errare humanym est" - to err is human,

therefore, he forgives mistakes,

and is not the first to throw an accusation with a stone.
