Yoga
Patanjali sat with folded legs
Breathing deep and free of will
Timeless movements checked and hidden
Sound of water, no other thought
Arising from earth, water, fire, air and space
Senses stilled as the dream within
A secret place, a master desiring nothing
Soul in peace, a vow of purity
He sees eternity and far beyond
His soul undying, primeval
The jewels he carries within
The red ruby lights up the senses
The orange carnelian brings creativity
The amber radiates confidence and courage
The emerald is forgiving and kind
The sapphire brings forth the truth
The amethyst awakens intuition
The diamond connects the Holy One
Come says Patanjali
Close your eyes and your mind
The very centre of your being
The jewels are hidden
Discover them thru meditation
Come says Patanjali
Make this life worth living...
Patanjali- founder of Yoga
Dedicated to all the wonderful people of my country.
