Stamp Of The Maker

Poem 852, from Mystical Poems of Jnaneshwar

All of creation

swims in the nectar of immortality;

what a wondrous sight it is.


The world and its witness, the holy and its power,

their two-ness is reflected in you.

They make your body.


Jnandev says, look for yourself in your own body.

The whole world bears the stamp of its maker.


our thoughts

Utpaladeva, the great Kashmiri Advaitist, says in his Ajada Pramatr Siddhi

Dvidhaa sa esha evaatmaa mito-parimitas-tathaa ….

And later..

…paramaatmani saa sthitaa.

This Atman has two forms: the measurable and the immeasurable.  

The measurable is firmly rooted in the immeasurable, the infinite.
