Spiritual Prayer-what will we ask from God within us all?

Bhiksha -De De Ram Swami Ramdas Samarth -1608-1682ADSwamiji wrote this with so much karuna -bhakti, that tears would flow from oureyes if we recite this with same bhaava –asking something from the GodAlmighty within and omnipresent everywhere as whatever form- an idol or noniconic form YOU see HIM. Many of us Indians as the Swamiji himself see Him inthe form of a super hero in human form- a one within ourselves, whotranscended the times and events to pass through hell and fire to come out as agreat maryada Purshottama- the Best amongst the best human beings who trodthe path of Life within the rules of humane social laws and mores prevalent atthat times accepted by the best then. That is the ideal they left behind for us toemulate and follow whenever we find ourselves in a situation-so the GOD of theHumans who strive and endure cannot be somebody else but a hero from withinthemselves who strove and proved his/her worth against a difficult life situation.This is a Bhiksha- a request for Alms to - this hero in his rupa -form - given byhis life and work edifice He created for himself NOT only a physical form whichwent away with him in Saryu river.keep the life edifice of Rama in front of YOU too as you read and understand thisrequest by the Swamiji to Rama.Do not read the meaning given in the bracket after you have once understoodthe meaning of this alms-thought and timely Action for the good of all in eachstanza ..me stands for us allthen just read the poem in the words of the Swamiji written 400 years ago..in asimple marathi devnagari which all of us can understand.

Das manhe majh de re Ram This servant of yours is asking nothing less than you in your Complete revealed self within me and Us all.. Swami Samarth Ramdas 400 years ago for our welfare he asks this Bhiksha alms from the Almighty he sees in the form character and life of Prabhu shri Rama ( so that we all can lead a fruitful life ending it as a achievement not as a liability!!) Translation is like an image we all can catch in a ‘mirror’ of our imperfect? minds so the mistakes if any - on the right hand side are mine.The divinity of the poem is not claimed by my Sadguru Samarth( =The Supremely ABLE to guide us with his wisdom-and ACT on his tenets himself and lead others to do so )-Ramdasa … but we all know He wrote it flowing from his soul for our welfare.. _________________________ drhemantsant@yahoo.co.in http://santhemant.sulekha.com Dr Hemant A.

Hinduism since ages has identified that GOD is in the goodness that manifests within all of us so very different as we all are externally and culturally.So they called ‘32 crore devtas gods’-we all are.. can be if---we use devotion to any-form or guru or formless god to make our mana=heart PURE and ready to receive-wisdom truth...then action do act in that direction by karma yoga proper use of your BODY..so then when you combine your heart and the body together to harness your SOUL like a torch YOU will see GOD-that is in your own selves first then within all of us. More good you are to your own self in divine ways and then to others as a servant then you will find the ultimate bliss. So as we are so many.. so different and only use of the gods of forms or not is devotion to purify heart--they tell us USE anything for that..so so many Gods!! But that is just a beginning after devotion do action use body to get gnana = true wisdom -discover your own self and then others for the good of all.
