Nine poem garland for Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji for Navratri.
3. Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom!
Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom!
Fry those Vedanta circular Thattai
The ignorant body is the rice flour
The innate consciousness is the lentil flour
The nonstop mind is the water
Pepper and salt together forms the life
Likes and dislikes disappear altogether
Doubts and refusal destroy in mananam
Prayerful devotion brings out the flame
Shastra oil is ready to fry the flour
Vedanta Shravanam removes the duality
Nididhyasanam removes the habitual orientation
As the water evaporates, the Thattai floats
That golden fullness is self-evident
Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom!
Fry those Vedanta circular Thattai
(Chandogya Upanishad Class by Swamini Svatmavidyananda July 10 2021) Chandogya six 15
