Upanishad LXII - This Body / यह शरीर

This body of blood and bone

is the seat of action in the world,

but when this body is gone,

the subtle body goes on.


Nagna says:

The subtle body, called Astral in the west, survives physical death.


खून और हड्डी का यह शरीर

दुनिया में कार्रवाई की सीट है,

लेकिन जब यह शरीर चला गया,

सूक्ष्म शरीर जारी है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

सूक्ष्म शरीर, पश्चिम में एस्ट्रल कहा जाता है, शारीरिक मृत्यु बच जाता है।

Upanishad LXI - Three Quarters of a Century / एक सदी के तीन चौथाई

Three quarters of a century

have weakened the body,

but thousands of years

have strengthened the soul.


Nagna says:

His consciousness will only become stronger.


एक सदी के तीन चौथाई

शरीर को कमजोर कर दिया है,

लेकिन हजारों साल

आत्मा को मजबूत किया है।

उसकी चेतना और मजबूत हो जाएगी।

Upanishad LX - He Is Not the Body / वह शरीर नहीं है

He is not the body,

he is not the illusion.

He is pure consciousness.


Nagna says:

He is a multidimensional energy-personality essence.


वह शरीर नहीं है,

वह भ्रम नहीं है।

वह शुद्ध चैतन्य है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

वह एक बहुआयामी ऊर्जा-व्यक्तित्व सार है।

Upanishad LIX - His Past Follows Him / उसका अतीत उसका पीछा करता है।

His past follows him, through many lives and many worlds.

His name does not matter, his emblem is consciousness.


Nagna says:

Those who know him, recognize him.


उनका जीवन और कई दुनियाओं के माध्यम से उनका अतीत उनका अनुसरण करता है।

उसका नाम मायने नहीं रखता, उसकी प्रतीक चेतना है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

जो उसे जानते हैं, उसे पहचानते हैं।

Upanishad LVIII - In This Illusion / इस भ्रम में

We have made ourselves too much at home in this illusion.

We must wake again to fuller consciousness.


Nagna says:

The magic carpet we have woven is wearing very thin.


हमने इस भ्रम में घर पर खुद को बहुत अधिक बना लिया है।

हमें पूर्ण चेतना के लिए फिर से जागना होगा।


नग्न कहते हैं:

हमारी जादुई कालीन बहुत पतली होती जा रही है।

The body cannot give what it does not have.


शांति का मार्ग भ्रम से नहीं गुजरता।

शांति का मार्ग चेतना से ही जाता है।

शरीर वह नहीं दे सकता जो उसके पास नहीं है।

97,000 Visits and High Anxiety

Today, November 1 2020, we are passing the milestone of 97,000 visits to this poetry/writing/photography blog. We were at 96.5K just six days ago. These 500 visits came from 38 different countries. See the following two graphics for a partial listing of the countries from which visits came in the last seven days:





As I said, it's a partial listing, and 19 countries that were sources of only single visits are not shown. I am pleased that visits to the blog are coming from such a diversity of countries.

We are steering a steady course. The Upanishad poem-series now has 56 parts, and the goal is 108. I am never able to predict what will be in the blog, because the Muse decides that. For now, she seems to be saying, "steady as she goes."

As always, thanks to you all for your continued interest and enthusiasm.

I didn't really say anything about the "high anxiety," did I? Maybe next time. We are too close to it right now.
