Jai Sri Ram,
Yogis that mystics who are full of dispassion and are wholly detached from God's creation keep awake in the daylight of wisdom muttering the name with their tongue,
And enjoy the felicity of Brahma, that absolute,
Which is incomparable unspeakable, unmixed with sorrow,
And devoid of name and form,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Install the luminous gem in the shape of the divine name, RAMA,
On the threshold of the tongue at the doorway of your mouth,
If you will have light both inside and outside,
O Tulsidas,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
Typical forms cannot be identified, even if they be in your hand, without knowing their name,
And if the name is remembered even without seeing the form, the latter flashes on the mind with a special liking for it,
The mystery of name and form is a tale that cannot be told, though delightful to comprehend,
It cannot be described in words, between the unqualified absolute and qualified divinity, the name is a good intermediary, it is a cleaver interpreter revealing the truth of both,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,
It is presumptuous on one's part to declare as to which is superior or inferior,
Hearing the distinctive merits of both, pious souls will judge for themselves,
Forms are found to be subordinate to the name,
Without the name, you cannot come to the knowledge of a form,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
Jai Sri Ram,

Sri Ekadasi today, tangible help for devotees to rediscover self, not just a day for Sri Vishnu Pad Puja but a truth to adore to regain pristine reality Atman missed most in its journey to this planet,
When the soul together with the mind and others covers its lots in the form of ether and referral eternity reaches the lowest region of Maya, Physical limitations track it both ways, conditions are added with material covering in desires,
A perturbed mind sooner or later finds itself in the indifferent state to carry on with the prevailing condition, being confined to the limited from all over, the self finds itself in the state of helplessness, and look for a help that helps disinterestedly on varying subject of the journey,
Sri Ekadasi is that help that is disinterested by nature and compassionate by the truth which manifests for pious souls and devotees, just faith in the truth of Sri Ekadasi is more than enough to take refuge in to sail safe,
May Lord bless all,
