Ramprasad Sen, a mystic poet from Bengal, left behind a
treasury of devotional songs, capturing the essence of divine love and
spiritual longing. Here are a few quotes attributed to him:
"O mind, with a pure heart chant the name of Hari. Only
through this will you attain liberation."
"O mind, do not wander outside; the Divine resides
within you. Search within and realize the truth."
"The world is a dream, a mere illusion. Only the Divine
is real and eternal."
"In every breath, remember the Divine. Surrender your
ego and find peace."
"In this transient world, the only constant is the love
of the Divine. Hold on to it tightly."
"The path of devotion is the easiest way to attain
God-realization. Offer your heart at the feet of the Lord."
"Like a bee searching for nectar, let your soul seek
the Divine. Dive deep into meditation and experience the bliss."
Ramprasad Sen's poetry often reflects his deep spiritual
experiences and his profound connection with the divine. These quotes
encapsulate his teachings on devotion, surrender, and the pursuit of spiritual
enlightenment.
A Poem On Goddess Kali By Ramprasad Sen
that even mentioning her name destroys delusion.
Lord Shiva, Conqueror of death,
lies blissfully vanquished,
beneath the red soled feet.
But her bright complexion
is the mystery that is utterly black,
overwhelmingly black, wonderfully black.
within the heart's secret cave,
her blackness becomes the mystic illumination
that causes the twelve petal blossom there
to glow more intensely than golden embers.
Kali- black blacker than the King of Death.
Whoever gazes upon this radiant blackness falls eternally in love
and feels no attraction to any other,
discovering everywhere only her.
Where is this brilliant lady, this black light beyond luminosity?
Though I have never seen her, simply hearing her name,
the mind becomes absorbed completely in her astonishing reality.
