A LAMP IN A WINDLESS PLACE
The Mind & Heart of God
Poems
by Raymond Reichman-Israelsohn
A lamp that does not flicker in a windless place,
To such is compared a yogi of subdued thought
Practising Union with the Self
Bhagavad Gita (Maharishi Translation)
The Yoga of Maditation (Dhyana Yoga)
Chapter VI,Verse 19
Let’s look at the phenomena of the material finite universe. Where were these before their existence, as such, and where will they be thereafter? What existed before them and what will exist in their place thereafter? We know that these phenomena do not last forever. They have a birth and they have a death. They exist in a certain time and space.
