Embodiments of Love!
There was a guru; a family man visited him one day.
Man: Swami, I want wisdom, please bless me with a methodology for achieving the same.
Guru: Read Bhagavad Gita daily; at the end of chanting offer dried grape fruits to Lord Krishna and pray; you will attain Wisdom and Nirvana.
This man felt happy and left the place; after a while, he came back; guru was surprised and doubted if that man got the wisdom that fast.
Guru: My dear Son, what is the good news you are going to share? Have you started reading Bhagavad Gita?
Man: Yes Guru, I just started; before that I got a doubt.
Guru: is it? Come on come on, normally doubts come after reading; your case is peculiar; tell me what is eating up your mind?
Man: Swami, you said that I should offer fruits to Almighty; you did not specify the number of fruits per session!
Guru: You fool, get lost; if you have asked me on the number slogans to be read, at least you would stand a chance of getting nearer Wisdom! For a glutton like you, Wisdom cannot appear even in the wildest dream!
Thwam gunathrayatheetha , thwam avastha thrayatheetha,
Thwam deha thrayatheetha, thwam kala thrayatheetha,
Thwam moola dhara sthitho aasi nithyam,
Thwam shakthi thrayathmaka,
Thwam yogino dhyayathi nithyam,
Thwam brahma thwam vishnusthwam,
Rudhrasthwam , indrasthwam , agnisthwam,
Vayusthwam sooryasthwam chandramasthwam,
Brahma bhoorbhuva swarom.
You are beyond Sathva, Rajas and Thamas,
You are beyond three types of experiences-waking , sleep and dream,
You are beyond the body states of Gross, subtle and casual,
You are beyond the three divisions of time-past, present and future,
You always and daily stay in mooladhara Chakra,
You are the three states of energy-creation, maintenance and destruction,
You are being daily meditated upon by sages,
Yo are Brahma , you are Vishnu , you are Shiva.
You are Indra, You are fire , you are wind.
You are the Sun, You are the moon,
You are all inclusive and all pervading.

Tail-end Bonus:
in Ganapathi Atharva Seersha there is a beautiful portion; it gives the essence of what is “ Brahmam” and gives its qualifications: those who can afford please listen to its recitation; you will forget food for 2 days
