The Experience Of The Presence Of The Divine Beauty Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
The Experience Of The Presence Of The Divine Beauty
The awakening of the self
to the consciousness of divine reality
is marked by intense feelings
of joy and exaltation.
In the experience of the presence
of the Divine Beauty,
the Self comes to the realization
of its own imperfection and the
manifold illusions in which it is immersed.
The state of purgation is of pain and effort.
Self takes to this way by discipline and mortification.
What a bunch of hooey. Please explain what is meant by Divine Reality or the Divine Beauty. I have never experienced such a thing. I know my imperfections already. I was born and I will die. I bleed and I excrete. Day by day I tend my garden and endeavor to rid it of the weeds that ineluctably grow. Why, I ask, can a man who pretends to speak of the unknowable with earthly words be intimated by a dirty unbeliever such that you would censor his (my) words? Blasphemy, I say. If what you write is unassailable then why worry about what a petty, unwashed poet such as myself might write in disagreement. Your insecurity reveals how little faith you put in what you profess. Bah.
The state of purgation is of pain and effort. Self takes to this way by discipline and mortification. I like this sentence. People can not indulge their own desires, restraint can be happy, thank you!
The awakening of self is surely to liberation. According to the great teacher Swami Vivekananda it is a direct action to free the soul, to take the torch to the gloom, to clean out what is behind, to shake it up or even defy it and to march onwards piercing the gloom. That is the goal-the superconscious. I enjoyed your philosophy. Congratulations.

tony, i definitely relate to the first and second stanzas. perhaps you've now read Accepted as I Was from my little book I Heard God Speaking. what a profoundly joyful experience to realize God sees us as we are- deeply flawed as we are- and know God accepts us. -glen
