तत् त्वम् असि

for sitar, mridangam, vina, musical spoons,
washboard, Jew’s harp and banjo


(the names Swami and Guru-ji can be replaced by
any other mystic names the reader wishes to substitute
)

Swami and Guru-ji went to the river
to wash their souls in the ***** water
filled brass pots while they were at it, singing:

“These are Gods –
worship them, worship them,
these are Gods –
won’t you worship them please”

Guru and Swami-ji flexed contortions
twisted minds and limbs in knots
sold each other secret mantras
to erase akashic records when the body rots

Swami and Guru-ji taught disciples
how to fast and hum and chant;
bound their ***** with priestly garments, saying

“These are Gods – worship them, worship them,
these are Gods – won’t you worship them please”

Guru and Swami-ji swallowed prana
purged their guts, then farted light
launched their chakras into oneness
in the ida and pingala of their third-eye sight

Swami and Guru-ji built a temple
around a monstrous calf of gold
bowed before the six-armed idols chanting

“These are Gods –
worship them, worship them,
these are Gods –
won’t you worship them please”

Guru and Swami-ji studied parchments
by the dim light of a feeble ray
railed and wailed at the sinful  heathen
in the filthy Kali-yuga of the dying day

Swami and Guru-ji made ablutions
offered incense and holy foods
ate their share and smoked the profit, humming

“These are Gods – worship them, worship them,
these are Gods – won’t you worship them please”

Guru and Swami’s blissed devotions
entwined their members with the temple belles;
stuck their yonis up their lingams
in the twenty-seventh circle of the seven hells.

Swami and Guru-ji offered puja
wrote it all off as a karmic debt –
forced a shudra to bear the burden, screaming

“These are Gods –
worship them, worship them,
these are Gods –
won’t you worship them please”

Guru and Swami-ji meditated:
pure omniscience in eternal now –
drank fresh ***** from a heifer’s  bladder
for they knew that it was soma from a holy cow.

Swami and the Guru merged with Brahman –
then went home to the wife and kids.
Told the servants to polish statues, saying

“These are Gods – worship them, worship them,
these are Gods – won’t you worship them please”


THE MORAL:
(slower solemn rhythm, no banjo or Jew’s harp)

Aaron’s calf is ground to powder,
cast upon the Ganges’ tide.
Every tribe shall taste its poison.

“This is God –worship Him, worship Him –
this is God – let us worship Him now…”
attain instant enlightenment:
I have heard this that when Gautam Budhha returned to Yashodhara after realization, she asked him why he left her and went to forest in search of God. Whether Gautam Budhha could have achieved the God even in her company or not? Gautam Budhha could not answer as he knew that God was also present in the presence of Yashodhara also. Hence there was no need to leave Yashodhara.

But I have got an answer to question of Yashodhara in another Story. Rinjhai was a Zen Saint. When he went to his Guru and asked how the God could be realized? Guru taught him various methods. For many years Rinjhai practiced those methods, but failed. Being fed up of his practicing various Sadhanas , he again went to his Guru and asked for realization. And Guru said Be the God. And that very moment Rijhai realized the God.

There is another story of Guru Nanak. Once upon a time, Guru Nanak was sleeping and his legs were lying towards the direction, where mosque was situated. Having seen this one Man gets angry and rebuked Guru Nanak saying that by putting the legs in the direction, where the mosque is situated, Guru Nanak was undermining the Glory of Allah.

Then Guru Nanak requested the man to put his legs in the direction, where Allah was not there. And it was a matter of surprise that in what ever direction, legs of Guru Nanak were kept, Mosque kept on appearing. It proved that Allah was every where.

Now let us begin again, Yashodhara asked the question, whether Gautam Budhha could not have achieved the God even in her presence and that going to forest and doing may Sadhana were useless. Similar questions were put to Rinjhai that if in a fraction of  moment, God could have been realized , then what was need for doing Sadhanas for many years. Rinjhai answered that God could have been realized in a fraction of moment, but without doing many Sadhanas and  Practices,  the Mind could not have been broken. Without doing Sadhanas and practices of many years, the futility of doing Sadhanas could not have been realized. And the Story of Guru Nanak establishes that God or Allah is everywhere. All these 3 stories form part of chain. One regarding putting the question regarding futility of various ways for search for God, Another is answer of that and the third one is regarding proof of Allah or God.
