PARAPINDA

 

PARAPINDA

The king

in the beggar

that mendicant in the home dweller,

the tale, the listener and the teller,

One, am I ; who sport,

as the many

I who love, and I desire,

I create and procreate,

I exalt, I refrain,

It is I who kill, and I who die,

I who burn and I who cry,

I kindle the fire,

And I it is, that’s born again,

to play the cosmic game,

of seek and hide,

and seek again.

~ From 'Shiva poetry by SShail Gulhati

Note: Gorakh, the great Nath yogi, expounded that Parapinda, God’s body, is the sum of all bodies in the world.
