Break the Mirror

Glancing at the mirror This body I see Am aware I am not this body What I see is my cloak, not me O my Soul I long to see thee Many easy pathways leading to you, I have read in scriptures Gyana yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga I tried and failed in each of them Reading without practicing, a stupidity I realised Gyana Yoga is not for me You exist within all Consciously aware and dedicating all work as service to you karmayoga seemed easy initially but later I became finicky Everything seemed imperfect I stopped Bhakti Yoga an easy way, you have to merely love almighty selflessly Repose faith in Him, surrender unto Him Salvation comes easily This was easier said than done I was always lamenting before God for solving my problems I was neither selfless nor had faith Finally I thought I'll pursue Namasmaran Continuosly chant Ram Ram Ram Easily achieve salvation But full time chanting isn't easy As tough as thought free meditation Conditioned since ages Having taken innumerable births Wonderful world and senses enticing me Salvation seems near impossible I wish I could break all illusions Look in the mirror and see my true reflection I guess I lack sincerity, dedication and perseverance 10th March
