Cosmic Chants of Paramahansa Yogananda

Swami Ram Tirtha’s Song

None can tone me, say who would injure me?

None can dim the light that shineth, guideth me,  who is pure and free of any impurities, attuned and aligned with the Will of light itself, the will of God.    

Except for thee who would injure me, for I am fileted open in vulnerability for your taking.  

“I can of mine own self do nothing”.    “If thee smiteth me on one cheek ,  offer also the other.”     This life is not mine, but the one who giveth me to be in this life, for I chose not to be born of this ego me’s choosing, nor did I choose the body, family, circumstances that have shaped the creation of this ego me.

And so this is an offering of my Self for the Self of others.   

“Father forgive them for they know not what they do”.       

None can take God’s will away from me.   None can hinder my calling, my vocation,   the truth I am guided upon!    For if ye do,  such is the injuring of me.   Pulling me away from me,    tearing apart one into many, from freedom into suffering. 

The world turns aside, to make room for me! 

The physical world is but a playground for the unfolding of souls.    There is none but God, for God is the substance of all.   We humans are seeing this, as science unfolds the mysteries the universe.    That matter is no different than space, no different than our material composition.   It And matter is alive, living in and by the same means as we are.   The atom, particles,  all light dancing in ether ever in motion. 

And so this world is but a tool for the soul’s unfolding, the soul’s freedom, the unity with it’s creator, creation, created.  The souls own Self from whence it sprang into being.   And so,  the Me in this context is the eternal ONE Me of All that is the world, all its attributes, and all the world resides in.  

I come, O blazing light,   the shadows must flee! 

Free of all boundaries, confines,   Inseparable with Truth,    One is none but light.     Attuned, one pointed,   here, now, present, free of time, space, atom, boundaries,   there is none the word/ light of the Creator.    Thy will be mine!  Where the will of this life is One with the Will of All life.      

Where do shadows of variation live in the presence of light?     They do not exist.   They vanish   and are consumed into the light.     

Is a shadow is a concrete thing of matter? 

Is there a difference when all is but One Indivisible Substance?     

“Let light shine out of darkness”.      

Through light do we enter the void of darkness where light sprung forth.  

“None comes unto the Father but by me!”  None are awakened unto universal consciousness but first awakening unto Christ Consciousness. 

Hail, O ye ocean, divide up and part!

Back to the world being a tool for the soul, for the liberation of this self unto the Self giving thy self to be a self,  which is all but the same substance as the self.    Nature, and her rules and regulations, are but only by Spirit, beyond rules and regulations,   beyond time space place, animating and giving life to all that is.   So the eternal soul says to the temporal creation of the eternal soul,   out of my way!   For the ocean is only by and for the soul in the first place, or any place for that matter. 

Or be parched up and scorched up, be dried up, de-part!

A seemingly rough statement to nature,   yet nature is but indivisible, inseparable, from the soul, from God, the one substance.  Her perfect variation, verities,  are but spirit.     And so the dualistic nature of pain,   ie drying up parching up, which would be perceived as bad in the relativities of opposing good and bad,  are being spoken of Spirit.    Where there the duality of good or bad does not exist any more than the shadow being given by light!   So anything in the way of Union, in the path of the Soul’s calling to shatter the confines of delusion,   watch out! 

Beware O ye mountains, stand not in my way. 

Your ribs will be shattered and tattered today! 

Same as above!   

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you”

“Know ye not, ye are Gods!”       

Attuned, present, stilled in being,  thy eternal self Is seen and known beyond time space atom and that ye are not subject to the confines of the world or body.  

With the sight of sight, seen is the One inseparable substance of all worlds, bodies, all mountains, all ribs, all good, all bad, pain pleasure, circumstances, karmic dances, all at your beckoning! 

Friends and couns’elors, pray waste not your breath, 

Ye know not when death is going to take you from this life.   “No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

Breath is one of the strings tying the soul unto the body in this life.

When breath is gone, so then the soul is freed from the body temple confines into the vastness of being, only then to continue in the work of purification, the work of coming home, if not accomplished in this lifetime.    The tool of the body and life in this world is for uniting the son of man with the son of god,    making two One!

Take up my orders, devour up ye death! 

And in making two one,  there is no longer “other”.   As if there ever was, yet the perceived reality of the senses and the time of knowledge development in the beginning of the Dwarpa Yuga sure makes it so!    And thus the ancient Rishi’s in the Vedas have deemed this perceived separation, this dualistic play of God, as Maya, or simply delusion.    Being no longer Other, there is no variance of death and life of the worldly drama.   Ye know ye are One and the same with the Omnipresent, Eternal Father.  

“I and the Father am One.”   

Seeing through the veil of death,  thy soul has devoured up death where ye are no longer subject to an objective ideas of separation of the indivisible substance. 

I ride on the tempest, astride on the gale, 

Temptation/ desire is a lure of the world of manifestation.   Love, attraction to God,   and repulsion,  the counterpart,   in the divine duet of creation,   are the two forces of Yin and Yang.   Stillness and Movement!    The tempest is the delusive attraction to repulsion, to manifestation, rather than He who gives manifestation to be, who is non manifested.   

Riding on the tempest is dancing atop Karma in full acceptance.   

“Thy will be done!”

Being given the life,  vessel, space, place for the soul to unfold,  the circumstances, events, and happenings,  the One Will is  intertwined with our own ego will, choices, etc.    And so freeing the bonds of attachment to the fruits of action,  uniting our own will with the will imposed upon us in acceptance, wisdom, and full surrender, temptation no longer has any pull.     And so we stride on the gale and flow with the cosmic currents! 

My gun is the lightning, my shots never fail! 

Resonating with the Will of the Father,  the Universal Will, Ye are One with all Material and immaterial.   

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you”   

What failure can exist if the duality of failure and success no longer have any ties?   

Being one with all of Nature, her lightning is your lightning, her mountains are your mountains!    Attuned with the Universal Will, The One Verse cannot be spoken awry, and so my shots are the shots of God, and God will never fail!     For the inseparable has no duality, no Other, no success vs failure, no separate Will of another, only and All One, Union, Unity! 

I chase as a huntsman, I eat as I seize. 

“I can of mine own self do nothing!”

As the universal Will, the cosmic drive of life,  directs and guides this individual dance of life,  with the human will aligned with the great will,   the individual accepts the path before them.  And along this path, as obstacles arise, detours surmise, the formless being in a human body eats consumes what make is made known to him.    

“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”

The trees and the mountains, the lands and the seas! 

All of creation is for you!   The One substance that is all of the material creation, is You, is the Heavens, is the trees, mountains, land, and seas is the Creator in Creation.   Not relative to subjective or objective thought surmised from the dualistic perception derived from this day and age of human intellect development, but by being, feeling, stilling, ye can know!   The perceiver behind all the thoughts in the mind of you,   is the you, not the thoughts of the mind.    The one who is constant in sleep and waking state, free, ever there no matter how, who, what, why you be!   This seer, oh you steering the reigns of the living, is Creator, Creation, creating!

I hitch to my chariot, the fates and the gods, 

As the leaf dances where it may in the blowing of the breeze,   so the one in attunement, surrendered, with the Father’s Will, does not resist the breeze, direction, or location of the breezes blowing.   For the breeze is not the leafs, but God’s breeze.    Just as fate,   Karma, Circumstance, chance, destiny, call her as ye may,  will follow you, turn you, flip you.   So,  just as the leaf in the breeze,  can you change the breeze driving you?    

The happenings of chance, circumstance, and thy individual karmic dance are the fates and the Gods.   As all fate and all Gods are but by God,  steer and drive this chariot how thy will the blowing of the breeze of my individual will!    

In the voice of thunder, proclaim it abroad! 

Unify, Unify Unify,  Glory Glory Hallelujah!  

Spread Love, attract, Unify,  One, One, One!   

“Love Others as Thy Self!”

To merge subject and object in the attracting force of Love, is to shine light on a shadow and consume that which does not exist!

Proclaim the gospel of all gospel!    Just as thunder speaks true, free of it’s own speaking, it speaks the Will given it to speak!   Is not nature true and pure, free of judgment, shame, unhindered to flow as she may.   To voice her thunder when the voice of thunder is called to voice, to crack the gun of lightning when willed to do so?        And all of her movements, all of these perceived individual happenings, are but expressions of proclamation of the Creator, the Father who gives the creation to create! 

Proclaim!  For all movement, action, being, matter is but He!    

Ye are a living proclamation O blessed human! 

Howl, O ye winds!   blow , bugles, blow free!

Proclaim, proclaim.    Song of the gospel sings in the winds of the gospel of space and ethers where the winds do sing!      Along the string of time, dancing in all materialization of atoms of creation, this is He!    Free is He.  One ye be.   Where all “other” is but a lack of comprehension.   If a stream was conscious as a human, would it believe itself to be a stream and blind itself to the substance by which the stream is, Water?    Thinking it to be the individual, when it is but water? 

Liberty! Liberty! Liberty!   Om!

Free thyself into Self,   be free.    Liberate thyself.   Are you not the constitution of the mountain, water, air, fire, and the living intelligence therein seeing?.   The being that sees the thoughts, feelings, and endless varieties of this body, worlds, ideas, and perceptions.    

Liberate thyself,   Set thy eternal self free!

Om, Om, Om, Om,   

“None can come unto the father but by me!”

None can dance in freedom, indivisible Union, the creator, unless they master, transcend, pierce through the veil of creation, of perceived “other”.   

Om, the Word, is the first creation, and so through the essence of all creation, the Word, doth one come unto the Father, the giver of the Word.  

Om, Om, Om!  

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare

Hare Rama,    Hare Rama,    Rama   Rama,    Hare Hare

"Oh Lord Krishna, Oh energy of the Lord, please engage me in Your devotional service"

As stated through and through above,   God, being indivisible, inseparable, omnipresent, is the substance of all.    Krishna, a being whos karmic dance, whos consciousness, beingness in this world of manifestation, is One with God, inseparable,  is the will of God.   Just as Christ is the will of God.   Just as you are the will of God.    This mantra is a song of surrendering my life into the hands of the One who is my life.   Please drive the chariot of my life to serve You!   Oh Human, and by doing to, the world is but a stepping stool!
