The three essence of life-

| Read the explanation of the logo at Here. Taken from Manav Seva Sangh! |
Defining the universe in a trice!
Sometimes in the literature when they try to define
God and His nature they say only three Lines
Sat- The only existing Truth
Chit- The consciousness within,
Anand- The eternal unending Love....
We have always been three,
my father, mother and me,
Became the double after my union with thee!
*
Atma- आत्मा meaning soul.
Parmatma- परमात्मा meaning God!
Jivatma- जीवात्मा meaning collective union of all souls in the universe!
This poem is written for a prompt given by Mama Zen at The Imaginary Garden With Real Toads. To create a poem of 90 words or less with the number 'three'!
I love the idea of mother, father and child "doubling" into three. ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you Magalay...
DeleteThis is a very interesting definition of spirituality, and I like how you personalized it in the final stanza.
ReplyDeletethank you kerry!! :)
DeleteThank you, Arushi, for explaining the "Atma, Parmatma and Jivatma [those three]." I was going to Google them until I got to the bottom here. It reads nice, I like the thought, "father, mother and me [us three]."
ReplyDeleteBTW, my children and grandkids have been attending the All Souls Church in London. It is jam packed every Sunday morning, at least for the many services we have attended.
..
thats very inspiring Jim to hear about your grandkids... thanks for reading through!! hindu scriptures give a vast explanation of how all of us are equals by the means of these three entities only... its a huge topic of discussoin!! :)
