Lisa Ray Instagram – My dear friend @healinghideaway_bindiyamurgai sent me this beautiful lullaby from the #markandeyapurana sung by the strong, wise and emancipated #QueenMadalasa for her babies. I play it for Soufflé every morning: Queen Madalasa lullaby The queen Madalasa rocked the cradles of her infant princes and sang this lullaby: “You are all-pure, enlightened and immaculate. Give up this sleep of delusion which makes you give value to that which has no value, to endow it with a sense of reality through ignorance. This is a great blunder. This is the darkness of the slumber of non-awareness.” Shúddho’si buddo’si niraiṋjano’si saḿsára ḿayá parivarpito’si. Saḿsára svapnaḿ tyaja mohanidráḿ Madálasollápam uváca putram. “Dear son, although you are but a child in a small human frame, you are the veritable expression of the Supreme Consciousness. You are an ever-holy, ever-enlightened entity. As long as you think that you are only a small child, you are spiritually ignorant, but when you realize that you are a part of that Supreme Entity, you become that Supreme Entity, you become spotless (niraiṋjano’si).” The mistakes that people make, the crimes and sins they commit, leave a mark imprinted on their minds which remains as a saḿskará. This spot or mark is called aiṋjana in Sanskrit. Aiṋjana also means a kind of black mark which is used to decorate the eye. “My dear child, there is no black spot in your mind. You are spotless. You are unassailed by any kind of sin.” Saḿsára ḿayá parivarpito’si: “You are beyond the spell of the illusory Máyá of this mundane world. You are the embodiment of the pure and unblemished self.” Saḿsára svapnaḿ tyaja mohanidrám: “What is this world after all? Human beings think this world is real, but to the Absolute Entity it is only a mere dream, having no real existence. That is why I tell you to break the spell of illusion which makes you dream about all the attachments of this world.” Madálasallopam uváca putraḿ: “This is how Madálasá teaches her son.”
