Satyagraha Page #2

Therefore detached...

Whatever the noblest does,

that too will others do.

The standard that he sets

ail the world will follow.

""In the three worlds

there is nothing I need do...

nor anything unattained

that I need to gain,

yet action is the element

in which I move...""

""If I were not

tirelessly to busy myself,

to busy myself with work,

then would men everywhere

follow in my footsteps,

sinking back.""

""In the three worlds

there is nothing I need do...""

""As witless fools

perform their work...""

""If I were not to do my work,

these worlds would fail to ruin...

and I would create confusion...""

PROTEU The Lord said,

the Lord said:

""Let a man feel hatred

for no being,

let him be friendly,

compassionate,

done with thoughts

of "I" and "mine",

the same in pleasure

as in pain and long suffering.

His self restrained,

his purpose firm,

Let his mind and soul

be steeped in me,

let him worship me with love.

Then will I love him in return.

Then will I love him in return.""

The Lord said...

Hold pleasure and pain,

profit and loss,

victory and defeat to be the same...

Then brace yourself for the fight.

So will you bring

no evil on yourself.

Hold pleasure and pain,

profit and loss...

If you are slain,

paradise is yours,

and if you gain the victory,

yours is the earth to enjoy...

Stand up then, son of Kunti,

stand up then, son of Kunti,

resolute for the fight.

If you are slain,

paradise is yours...

Hold pleasure and pain,

profit and loss...

Happy are the warriors indeed

who become involved

in such a war as this...

...a war presented by pure chance

and opening the doors of paradise.

Happy are the warriors indeed...

If you are slain,

paradise is yours,

and if you gain the victory,

yours is the earth to enjoy...

Stand up then, son of Kunti,

resolute for the fight...

NEWCAUTLE MARCH:

With self content in wisdom

learned from holy books

and wisdom learned from life...

With sense subdued, sublime, aloof,

this athlete of the spirit stands...

""Integrated"",

so is he called...

The same to him

are clods of earth, stones, gold...

Outstanding is he,

outstanding is he whose soul,

whose soul

views in the self-same way,

views in the self-same way

friends, comrades, enemies,

those indifferent, neutrals,

views in the self-same way

men who are hateful

and those who are his kin,

views in the self-same way

the good and the evil, too...

This is the fixed,

the fixed, still state

which sustains,

which sustains,

even at the time of death,

the athletes of the spirit,

which sustains,

even at the time of death,

the athletes of the spirit,

who even then set forth,

who even then set forth,

some to return,

some to return,

some never to return...

Pire, light, day,

the waxing of the moon,

the six months

of the suns northern course,

dying in these,

to Brahman do they go,

the men who Brahman know...

This is the fixed, still state

which sustains,

this is the fixed, still state

which sustains...

...even at the time of death,

the athletes of the spirit...

...the athletes of the spirit

who even then set forth...

This is the fixed, still state

which sustains...

Pire,

light, day,

the waxing of the moon,

I have passed

through many a birth

and many have you...

I know them ail,

but you do not.

Unborn am I,

changeless is my Self,

of all contingent beings

I am the Lord!

Yet by my creative energy,

I consort with Nature...

...I consort with Nature

and come to be in time.

For whenever

the law of righteousness

withers away

and lawlessness rises...

...then do I generate

myself on earth.

I come into being

age after age

and take a visible shape

and move man with men

for the protection of good,

thrusting evil back...

...and setting virtue

on her throne again...
