ODE III. God comes;—and who shall stand before His fear? Who bide His Presence, when He draweth near? My soul, my soul, prepare To kneel before Him there! Haste,—weep,—be reconciled to Him before The fearful judgment knocketh at the door Where, in the Judges eyes, All bare and naked lies. Have mercy, Lord, have mercy, Lord, I cry, When with Thine angels Thou appear’st on high: And each shall doom inherit, According to his merit. How can I bear Thy fearful anger, Lord? I, that have so often transgressed Thy word? But put my sins away, And spare me in that day! O miserable soul, return, lament, Ere earthly converse end, and life be spent: Ere, time for sorrow o’er, The Bridegroom close the door! Yea, I have sinned, as no man sinned beside: With more than human guilt my soul is dyed: But spare, and save me here, Before that day appear! Three Persons in One Essence uncreate, On Whom, both Three and One, our praises wait, Give everlasting light, To them that sing Thy might! Sūra LXXXII. Infiṭār, or The Cleaving Asunder. In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 1. When the Sky Is cleft asunder; 2. When the Stars Are scattered; 3. When the Oceans Are suffered to burst forth; 4. And when the Graves Are turned upside down;— 5. (Then) shall each soul know What it hath sent forward And (what it hath) kept back. 6. O man! what has Seduced thee from Thy Lord Most Beneficent?— 7. Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion And gave thee a just bias; 8. In whatever Form He wills, Does He put thee together. 9. Nay! but ye do Reject Right and Judgment! 10. But verily over you (Are appointed angels) To protect you,— 11. Kind and honourable,— Writing down (your deeds): 12. They know (and understand) All that ye do. 13. As for the Righteous, They will be in Bliss; 14. And the Wicked— They will be in the Fire, 15. Which they will enter On the Day of Judgment, 16. And they will not be Able to keep away therefrom. 17. And what will explain To thee what the Day Of Judgment is? 18. Again, what will explain To thee what the Day Of Judgment is? 19. (It will be) the Day When no soul shall have Power (to do) aught For another For the Command, that Day, Will be (wholly) with God. Sūra LI. Zāriyāt, or the Winds That Scatter. In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 1. By the (Winds) That scatter broadcast; 2. And those that Lift and bear away Heavy weights; 3. And those that Flow with ease And gentleness; 4. And those that Distribute and apportion By Command;— 5. Verily that which ye Are promised is true; 6. And verily Judgment And Justice must Indeed come to pass. 7. By the Sky With (its) numerous Paths, 8. Truly ye are in A doctrine discordant, 9. Through which are deluded (away From the Truth) such As would be deluded. 10. Woe to the falsehood-mongers,— 11. Those who (flounder) heedless In a flood of confusion: 12. They ask, When will be The Day of Judgment And Justice? 13. (It will be) a Day When they will be tried (And tested) over the Fire! 14. Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used To ask to be hastened! 15. As to the Righteous, They will be in the midst Of Gardens and Springs, 16. Taking joy in the things Which their Lord gives them, Because, before then, they Lived a good life. 17. They were in the habit Of sleeping but little By night, 18. And in the hours Of early dawn, They (were found) praying For Forgiveness; 19. And in their wealth And possessions (was remembered) The right of the (needy,) Him who asked, and him Who (for some reason) was Prevented (from asking). 20. On the earth Are Signs for those Of assured Faith, 21. As also in your, own Selves: will ye not Then see? 22. And in heaven is Your Sustenance, as (also) That which ye are promised. 23. Then, by the Lord Of heaven and earth, This is the very Truth, As much as the fact That ye can speak Intelligently to each other. SECTION 2. 24. Has the story Reached thee, of the honoured Guests of Abraham? 25. Behold, they entered His presence, and said: Peace! He said, Peace (And thought, These seem) Unusual people. 26. Then he turned quickly To his household, brought Out a fatted calf, 27. And placed it before them… He said, Will ye not Eat? 28. (When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, Fear not, And they gave him Glad tidings of a son Endowed with knowledge. 29. But his wife came forward (Laughing) aloud: she smote Her forehead and said: A barren old woman! 30. They said, Even so Has thy Lord spoken: And He is full Of Wisdom and Knowledge. 31. (Abraham) said: And what, O ye Messengers, Is your errand (now)? 32. They said, We have Been sent to a people (Deep) in sin;— 33. To bring on, on them, (A shower of) stones Of clay (brimstone), 34. Marked as from thy Lord For those who trespass Beyond bounds. 35. Then We evacuated Those of the Believers Who were there, 36. But We found not there Any just (Muslim) persons Except in one house: 37. And We left there A Sign for such as Fear the Grievous Penalty. 38. And in Moses (Was another Sign): Behold, We sent him To Pharaoh, with authority Manifest. 39. But (Pharaoh) turned back With his Chiefs, and said, A sorcerer, or One possessed! 40. So We took him And his forces, and Threw them into the sea; And his was the blame: 41. And in the ‘Ād (people) (Was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them The devastating Wind: 42. It left nothing whatever That it came up against, But reduced it to ruin And rottenness. 43. And in the Thamūd (Was another Sign): Behold, they were told, Enjoy (your brief day) For a little while! 44. But they insolently defied The Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (Of an earthquake) seized Them, even while they Were looking on. 45. Then they could not Even stand (on their feet), Nor could they help themselves. 46. So were the People Of Noah before them: For they wickedly transgressed. SECTION 3. 47. With power and skill Did We construct The Firmament: For it is We Who create The vastness of Space. 48. And We have spread out The (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out! 49. And of every thing We have created pairs That ye may receive Instruction. 50. Hasten ye then (at once) To God: I am from Him A Warner to you, Clear and open! 51. And make not another An object of worship With God: I am from Him A Warner to you, Clear and open! 52. Similarly, no apostle came To the Peoples before them, But they said (of him) In like manner, A sorcerer, or One possessed! 53. Is this the legacy They have transmitted, One to another Nay, they are themselves A people transgressing Beyond bounds! 54. So turn away From them: not thine Is the blame. 55. But teach (thy Message): For teaching benefits The Believers. 56. I have only created Jinns and men, that They may serve Me. 57. No Sustenance do I require Of them, nor do I Require that they should Feed Me. 58. For God is He Who Gives (all) Sustenance,— Lord of Power,— Steadfast (for ever). 59. For the wrong-doers, Their portion is like Unto the portion of their Fellows (of earlier generations): Then let them not ask Me To hasten (that portion)! 60. Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, On account of that Day Of theirs which they Have been promised! Sūra LXIX. Ḥāqqa, or the Sure Reality. In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 1. The Sure Reality! 2. What is the Sure Reality? 3. And what will make Thee realise what The Sure Reality is? 4. The Thamūd And the ‘Ād people (Branded) as false The Stunning Calamity! 5. But the Thamūd,— They were destroyed By a terrible Storm Of thunder and lightning! 6. And the ‘Ād,— They were destroyed By a furious Wind, Exceedingly violent; 7. He made it rage Against them seven nights And eight days in succession: So that thou couldst see The (whole) people lying Prostrate in its (path), As if they had been Roots of hollow palm-trees Tumbled down! 8. Then seest thou any Of them left surviving? 9. And Pharaoh, And those before him, And the Cities Overthrown, Committed habitual Sin, 10. And disobeyed (each) The apostle of their Lord; So He punished them With an abundant Penalty. 11. We, when the water (Of Noahs Flood) overflowed Beyond its limits, Carried you (mankind), In the floating (Ark), 12. That We might Make it a Message Unto you, and that ears (That should hear the tale And) retain its memory Should bear its (lessons) In remembrance. 13. Then, when one Blast is sounded On the Trumpet, 14. And the earth is moved, And its mountains, And they are crushed to powder At one stroke,— 15. On that Day Shall the (Great) Event Come to pass, 16. And the sky will be Rent asunder, for it will That Day be flimsy, 17. And the angels will be On its sides, And eight will, that Day, Bear the Throne Of thy Lord above them. 18. That Day shall ye be Brought to Judgment: Not an act of yours That ye hide will be hidden. 19. Then he that will be Given his Record In his right hand Will say: Ah here! Read ye my Record! 20. I did really understand That my Account would (One Day) reach me! 21. And he will be In a life of Bliss, 22. In a Garden on high, 23. The Fruits whereof (Will hang in bunches) Low and near. 24. Eat ye and drink ye, With full satisfaction; Because of the (good) That ye sent before you, In the days that are gone! 25. And he that will Be given his Record In his left hand, Will say: Ah! would That my record had not Been given to me! 26. And that I had never Realised how My account (stood)! 27. Ah! would that (Death) Had made an end of me! 28. Of no profit to me Has been my wealth! 29. My power has Perished from me!… 30. (The stern command will say): Seize ye him, And bind ye him, 31. And burn ye him In the Blazing Fire. 32. Further, make him march In a chain, whereof The length is seventy cubits! 33. This was he that Would not believe In God Most High, 34. And would not encourage The feeding of the indigent! 35. So no friend hath he Here this Day. 36. Nor hath he any food Except the corruption From the washing of wounds, 37. Which none do eat But those in sin. SECTION 2. 38. So I do Call to witness What ye see 39. And what ye see not, 40. That this is Verily the word Of an honoured apostle; 41. It is not the word Of a poet: Little it is Ye believe! 42. Nor is it the word Of a soothsayer: Little admonition it is Ye receive. 43. (This is) a Message Sent down from the Lord Of the Worlds. 44. And if the apostle Were to invent Any sayings in Our name, 45. We should certainly seize him By his right hand, 46. And We should certainly Then cut off the artery Of his heart: 47. Nor could any of you Withhold him (From Our wrath). 48. But verily this Is a Message for The God-fearing. 49. And We certainly know That there are amongst you Those that reject (it). 50. But truly (Revelation) Is a cause of sorrow For the Unbelievers. 51. But verily it is Truth Of assured certainty. 52. So glorify the name Of thy Lord Most High. The Day of judgment The day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away! What power shall be the sinners stay? How shall he meet that dreadful dayl When, shriveling like a parched scroll. The flaming heavens together roll; And loader yet, and yet more dread. Swells the high trumpet that wakes the dead I on that day, that wrathful day. When man to judgment wakes from clay. Be thou, O Christ, the sinners stay. Though heaven and earth shall pass away! Suffer the little children to Come onto me. 1 See Israels gentle Shepherd stand With all engaging charms; Hark how he calls the tender lambs. And folds them in his arms! 2_Permit them to approach, he cries, nor scorn their humble name; For it was to bless such souls as these, The Lord of angels came. 3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands. And yield them up to thee; Joyful that we ourselves are thine. Thine let our offspring be. DARK MIND, THE ROOT CAUSE OF SUFFERING What is the real cause of your suffering? It is your dark mind, says Sakyamuni Buddha. Our minds are dark, and this is known as mumyo no yami, literally translated as darkness of no light. In Buddhism this is known as darkness about the purpose of life. We dont know why we live or where we go when we die; we are in the dark about the purpose of life. We live each day moving toward the future. Ultimately, the future is death. So, each day that we live means that we have moved one day closer to death. Whether asleep or awake, we are always moving closer and closer to death. This year we are closer to death than last year. Next year we will be closer than this year. Without exception, everybody is moving toward death. Death is our inescapable future. However, our dark mind is ignorant of the world that awaits us after death. Therefore, the direction and the purpose of life are ignored, and cloaked in darkness. Because we are constantly moving into a dark future we are always uneasy, and unable to have peace of mind. Our minds become dark. Sakyamuni Buddha taught that this dark mind is the root cause of all suffering. Amida Buddhas Hongan is a promise to save all people in an ichinen, or in an instant. The path to this instant or, ichinen, is a journey that our minds must embark upon. Our minds constantly change and move forward until the point when Amida Buddha saves us. In the harvest field there is work to do, For the grain is ripe, and the reapers few And the Masters voice bids the workers true Heed the call that He gives to-day. Labour on ! . . . labour on . . . Keep the bright reward in view For the Master has said, He will strength re-new Labour on till the close of day ! 2 Crowd the garner well with its sheaves all bright, Let the song be glad, and the heart be light Fill the precious hours, ere the shades of night Take the place of the golden day. 3 In the gleaners path may be rich reward, Though the time seems long, and the labour hard For the Masters joy, with His chosen shared, Drives the gloom from the darkest [day. 4 Lo ! the Harvest Home in the realms above Shall be gained by each who has toiled and strove, When the Masters voice, in its tones of love, Calls away to eternal day. Hawk, after he has seized (his own)! so theysaid, Lo! you are ensouled and powerful!. 163: He comes indeed, this Unas, weary of the Nine, anImperishable spirit, he that bore more than you, he that suffered more thanyou, he that is more weary than you, he that became greater than you, he whowill be happier than you, he who roars louder than you. You have no more timethere! Lo, this is what Seth and Thoth have done, your two brothers, who couldnot bewail you! 164: Isis and Nephtys, come together, come together, unite!He comes indeed, this Unas, weary of the Nine, an Imperishable Spirit.
