If
the tranquil heaven of sages gone to bliss had a fragrance, it would be
sandalwood. The scent of “chandan,” as it is called in Sanskrit, is
said to be the auric perfume
emitted by those whose minds have cooled
the flames of worldly passions, who are free of all attachments and
egoistic cravings, who have transcended all sufferings
of impermanence
and ephemeral transitory existence. If purity of being, openness of
heart, and loving kindness born of inner peace had a smell, it would be
that of the
finest golden oil suffused throughout the heartwood of the
oldest sandalwood tree growing in the deepest forest of tropical India.
If there was a single aroma that evoked
the memories of devotion,
remembrance of the Divine and aspiration toward enlightenment within the
collective soul of the innumerable beings that have passed through
this
world, it would be that of sandalwood’s blue-gray smoke curling upward
from the temple censer.
