Repeat God’s Name and Cross the Ocean of Existance -- Mystic Poetry of Sant Tulsi Das

 

The Classic Refrain of the Sants is "Repeat God’s Name and Cross the Ocean of Existance" -- Mystic Poetry of Sant Tulsi Das -- Light and Sound on The Path

"Repeat God's Name, repeat God's Name, repeat God's Name, O deluded one. The Name alone is the true ship for crossing the dreadful ocean of the world." (Goswami Tulsi Das)

"Your [God's] Name is the fruit of all spiritual endeavors, the essence of the Vedas [scriptures], and the boat for crossing the river of mundane existence." (Goswami Tulsi Das)

"Your Name my Lord, is the bridge by means of which souls cross over the ocean of mundane existence [samsara]." (Goswami Tulsi Das) 

Jai Sat Naam. Satya Raam. Radhaswami.

"Fallen into the mid-stream, you are drowning, O blind and deluded one. Board the ship of the Lord's Name, and go safely to the other shore." (Goswami Tulsi Das)

The human body is a veritable boat to cross the ocean of the world [samsara]. With God's grace for a favorable wind, and a Satguru for a helmsman to steer this sturdy boat -- a combination has become easily available." (Goswami Tulsi Das)

"Carry on the repetition of God's Name, remaining in the service [seva] of a Saint. This is the way to cross the ocean of the world declares Tulsidas." (Goswami Tulsi Das)

One of My Favorite Mystics: Joseph the Visionary

The Sants have said the Light and Sound are within everyone and that over the centuries there have been mystics within the various world religions acquainted with Inner Light and Sound Meditation. This includes Christianity. For instance, this example from the writings of Joseph the Visionary of the Syriac tradition: 

"We say that we see Light in the sphere of spirituality; but this is not like material light. We also say that we have spiritual food there; but that food is not like what we have here. We further say that our mind perceives there the Sound of the spiritual hosts and that it there has speech and conversation; but that speech is not like the speech that we have with one another. The Sound heard there by our mind is so ethereal that our senses are not able to receive it, and a fleshly tongue is unable to speak or tell that which is revealed there to the understanding."
