EXTEMPORE
Krishna: Do not be conscious Ram! Once conscious, you shall forever remain in a divide.
Ram: How is it that I must be? How is it that I shall be in action? How is it that I shall persist?
Krishna: Be consciousness itself! Thus, in action you shall forever be.
If you are conscious you shall never be the action, you shall only be the consequence. You can never persist as consequence, for persistence is for those who transcend the world of reason and relation.
Be the ocean, be the wave! But do not contemplate upon self, as it will render you momentary.
( He then spoke to ram the following words )
“Truest when unheard,
Brilliant when unseen,
Purest when untouched,
Divine when left alone to experience!”
Ram bows to him in humble gratitude. He then decides to descend onto the realm of Gaia (Mother Earth). The rest we know is history.

Re: Ramayana-- The Geneses
Fri, June 15, 2007 - 10:37 AMCoupled with the nice image in your album (the silhouette art piece titled Genesis) this intrigues me. For those who haven’t seen it, it reminded me of the work of Kara Walker:
people.tribe.net/71a0a6d1-...03d1f063fb
Ishdeep sent me along the following explanation to my inquiry into the piece:
“I’ll try and explain to u about the pic labeled genesis....
on the extreme right is a female with a blossomed lotus where her heart is..
she emanates 3 beings from it....
the creator ( another lotus- middle top)
the sustainer ( serpernt(s) middle)
and the destroyer ( the eye (middle bottom))
these then create the human genome ( a girl swinging from a strand-- just below the eye)
on the extreme left u have a foetus ...
I suppose it’s like a flower I’ve never seen. I just feel compelled to stop, gaze and take in its essence. To be fair, coming from a Mid-West Southern Baptist back ground, I think I should explore the religion a little more. There is something I could suggest though. At the very end you could trim in the following narrative lines to end it cleanly:
“Ram bows to him in humble gratitude. He then decides to descend onto the realm of Gaia (Mother Earth). The rest we know is history.”
maybe:
Ram bows to him in humble gratitude, deciding then to descend onto the realm of Gaia (Mother Earth). The rest is history.
Cool piece, and once again quite different. Thanks for sharing; I greatly appreciate this exchange of cultural heritage through art. -
