Sacred Heart #1 Bhagavad Gita (5^th BCE)

Creatures arise, creatures vanish;

I alone am real, Arjuna,

looking out, amused, from deep

within the eyes of every creature.

I am the object of all knowledge,

father of the world, its mother,

source of all things, of impure and 

pure, of holiness and horror.

I am the goal, the root, the witness,

home and refuge dearest friend,

creation and annihilation,

everlasting seed and treasure.

I am the radiance of the sun, I

open or withhold the rainclouds,

I am immortality and

death, am being and non-being.

I am the Self, Arjuna, seated

in the heart of every creature.

I am the origin, the middle,

and the end that all must come to.

They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul. One day I looked into the eyes of a cat and there was an instant of deep recognition and connection that went beyond the mind or body. I saw Consciousness looking back at me.

 The phrase “looking out, amused, from deep within the eyes of every creature” reminds me of Meister Eckhart’s quote, “The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me….”

Our image or idea of God has been too small. All That Is is every thing and every where and every when. How can we ever feel alone when All is God.
