Poem Title:
Poem
I do feel the presence of God, As I feel the presence of my mother, Like God she is still a faith, a force. She is a god personified. Wherever I go whatever I do, I feel all of her. She is beyond god- Indian philosophy calls it Dwait. If seeing is believing I do not believe in miracles. I was yet to experience one. While flying from Uruguay to America, I had some fearful problems, Some real, some nightmares. Gomi Ba came as a protecting force, Giving an edge over my problems. If the theory of recarnation exists, My mother exists in spirit and soul. =============================== Sixth Placement Contest: I remember Mama =================== The poem was written while I traveled from Uruguay to USA (Charlotte NC) Gomi is the name of my mother and BA means ma or mother. Dwait: The very words Dwaita means dualism and Advaita means non dualism. One shoud know what are these two. Dwait means one can approach God thro' a medium i.e. Guru or Mother. Adwait means Guru or Mother is God for you. Hinduism says one is human soul or consiousness or jeevatma and the second one is cosmic soul or God or Paramatma. Advaita phylosophy says both are one at the same. For this they give several examples: Ornaments like necklace, chain, ring, eaarstuds etc made of gold. Even thiough they are identified as individual objects they have come out of gold only and when melted become gold only. Similarly when we keep several mirrors outside during day time, the reflection of solar sun can be seen separately in each mirror. Whjen the mirrors are removed to a shade, the reflection disappears. Therefore the soul in all beings is nothing but a reflection of cosmic soul. The moment the body is decayed the souls reflection get disappeared. The philosophy says people believe existace of individual souls as real due to only illusion. The moment the illusion is gone one will gain the Jnana of nondualism. Adi Sankara profounded this theory.
