In the Sanskrit language, divya means divine and sūkta refers to a statement that
illumines the highest Truth. Divya Sūkta: Teachings about the Divine.
The picture of the conch shell and the word
wonderment really captured my attention and reminded me of an experience with Baba.
In 1982 I was offering
seva in the Amrit kitchen in Gurudev Siddha Peeth when Baba came through the back door to visit. He walked around the kitchen and then stopped in front of a table where there was a yellow plastic container of salt with a spoon in it. Baba scooped up some salt with the spoon, held it in the air, then tipped the spoon to let the salt fall back into the container. Baba had an expression of complete wonderment as he watched the salt fall back into the container. Baba repeated this action three times without saying a word. It was as if I were seeing salt for the first time and realizing what an essential part of cooking and life salt is.

Transparent spiral of life
carrying sea sounds and sands,
meandering shell swirling,
wondrous silence taking me deeply inside.
Words vanish,
only oneness and dancing bliss.
