THE SUPREME YOGI

THE SUPREME YOGI

“Lord, you are the Master of all four yogas, your Bhakti towards Shakti, the Mother; your Jnan of the Self and Cosmos; your Raja meditations of rhythm and steps, and your Vishvkarma of drinking venom”. The snake elaborated his salutation. “You remain devoted to your own principle of Divine creation, to your consort, and consequently, to us all.
You are the supreme knowledge of Self, all our selves, and the whole Cosmic Self.
You remain absorbed in transpersonal meditations for our growth.
If this is not enough, finally, you neutralize the wrongs committed by your children, by yourself drinking the venom spilled by us, this is your inevitable cosmic action.
Therefore, although you contain the whole Universe, although you are the Supreme God, yet, you are a Yogi too, remaining always absorbed in Godhood”
