IMAGE: The EK, the AUM-kaar symbol, a kind of visual representation of the Mool Mantra of Guru Nanak.
Below is the Mool Mantra in English, also part of a mystic poem of Saint John of the Cross: the Dark Night of the Soul, a podcast featuring readings from the Sukhmani of Guru Arjan Dev, and a musical playlist of ambient music, Sikh music, and a hymn of Kabir, all material I'm using for an up-coming radio show on a community station here in Maine, a kind of Sunday morning satsang of the airwaves! Enjoy.
"...In the luck of night
In secret places where no other spied
I went without my sight
Without a light to guide
Except the heart that lit me from inside.
"It guided me and shone
Surer than noonday sunlight over me,
And led me to the one
Whom only I could see
Deep in a place where only we could be."
(excerpted from Saint John of the Cross's mystic poem:
The Dark Night of the Soul)
