Upanishad LXXVII - The Subtle Body Is Also Illusion / सूक्ष्म शरीर भी भ्रम है

The subtle body is also illusion,

it cannot be the Atman.


Nagna says:

The Astral body cannot be the imperishable Self, because it is tied to a single lifetime.


सूक्ष्म शरीर भी भ्रम है,

यह आत्मान नहीं हो सकता।


नग्न कहते हैं:

सूक्ष्म शरीर आत्मा नहीं है, क्योंकि यह एक ही जीवनकाल से जुड़ा हुआ है।

I Am Normalizing

 I am normalizing poetry,

I am normalizing art,

I am normalizing nudity,

in a battered and tattered 

world

that at times I hardly

recognize.


But beyond these lesser battles,

let us normalize

our love for each other,

our unity through our diversity,

the strength and mutual aid in our humanity.

In short, let us normalize

Spirit.


May that Spirit guide us, always.

Upanishad LXXVI - He Has Leapt Centuries

He has leapt centuries and millennia to visit us,

perhaps worlds, too.


Nagna says:

We do not yet know the reason for his visit.


उसने हमसे मिलने के लिए सैकड़ों और हजारों वर्षों में छलांग लगाई है,

शायद दुनिया भर में भी।


नग्न कहते हैं:

हम अभी तक उनकी यात्रा का कारण नहीं जानते हैं।

Hold This Moment

Hold this moment in your heart,

for it's the only time we have.

Love all those who brought you here,

for nothing is greater than the power of love.

Willingly receive and willingly give ,

for in that way we truly live.

Bear in mind from sun to sun

that all of us are truly one.

Upanishad LXXV - Who Are You? / तुम कौन हो?

Who is this man,

who gives us a question

instead of an answer?


Nagna says:

He gives us a single question, equal to a book or to a lifetime: "Who am I?"


यह आदमी कौन है,

जो हमें एक प्रश्न देता है

जवाब के बजाय?


नग्न कहते हैं:

वह हमें एक प्रश्न देता है, एक किताब के बराबर या जीवन भर के लिए: "मैं कौन हूं?"


Comment: The question is not about the writer; it's for the reader to ask of her/himself.

Upanishad LXXIV - He Challenges / वह चुनौती देता है

He challenges those of the present every day.


Nagna says:

He makes those of the present uncomfortable.


वह वर्तमान के लोगों को हर दिन चुनौती देता है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

वह इस समय के लोगों को असहज बनाता है।

Upanishad LXXIII - He Steps Out of the Past / वह अतीत से बाहर कदम रखता है

He steps out of the past

and strides into the future.

To him, there is no time.


Nagna says:

He is operating on the Astral plane.


वह अतीत से बाहर कदम रखता है

और भविष्य में प्रगति करता है।

उसकी दुनिया में, समय नहीं है।


नग्न कहते हैं:

वह एस्ट्रल प्लेन पर काम कर रहा है।
