Almost reaching Nirvana

Last Sunday in Sarnath, a group of Tibetan monks ( two women and two men), were enjoying the sunset in front of the ruins of what was once emperor Ashoka's palace, at a few meters away from the tree where Lord Buddha delivered his sermon to five disciples.

 

A moment of bliss...

 

This is an extract from Nirvana by Sri Aurobindo:

"Nirvana"

Only the illimitable Permanent

Is here. A Peace stupendous, featureless, still.

Replaces all, - what once was I, in It

A silent unnamed emptiness content

Either to fade in the Unknowable

Or thrill with the luminous seas of the Infinite.
