सदभिज्ञा 
मूषको उवाच :
भीतोऽस्मि दृष्ट्वा शत्रुम्‌ ।
रक्ष माम्‌ परमेश्वर ॥
गणपति उवाच :
मा भीः !
यदा द्रक्ष्यसि ब्रह्म त्वं, तव-मम देहे तथा रिपोः ।
तदा गन्तासि निर्भयत्वं सुखं शाश्वतं स्थिरं ॥

Monolith

Seeing the serpent in the body of the Lord,

Ganesha's vehical (mooshaka) said :

O Lord ! 

I'am afraid at the sight of my enemy.

Please protect me, save me !

The Lord answered :

Don't fear !

When you shall see the one and the same 

Brahman (Self) in your and my,

And also in (the body of) the enemy,

Shall then you find the fearlessness,

And also,

The lasting, eternal happiness.

(Notes : added on 20-11-2010).
A mail written in response to one from 
Eka Akshara,
where-in it was said that my 'comment' and the
related picture are quite in tune with one-another.

"....... You know, 

Not only that, but the also enhance 

the beauty 

of each other.

For example,

When the vehicle 

of 

The Lord Ganesha

complains about the 

fear of his 

enemy

(the serpent) The Lord 

instructs him, to

'see' 

in Himself (The Lord ), himself

(the Mooshaka), and 

the enemy 

(the 

serpent), the same 'Brahman' i.e. 

the 

common Intelligence-

Principle, He is

giving him 

the Supreme Vedantik 

Teaching also.

"सदभिज्ञा" means :

The right Understanding of The Truth.

(

सत्‌ +अभिज्ञा) 

The title Monolith has two meanings :

1. A stone image carved-out from a 

single stone.

2.The Indivisible (Akhanda) , Which 

contains all 

and everything 

(The 'Sat

-Tattwa').

So it can be interpreted in 2 ways. 

In terms of  

simple poetic value, 

and

as a spiritual metaphor also. 

When I see this 'coincidence', I just 

feel, this 

couldn't happen without 

Lord's blessings......"
