Notes About The Poem

Religion vs Spirituality

Hymns and mantras chanted     Sky above, earth below
Focus single pointed                  We just ask, ‘Who am I?’
Stance no longer slanted            Feeling heart within glow
By symbols anointed                   Feral lust we decry

God search prioritised                Ending movement of thought
With truth impulse aligned          Head and heart to love yoked
In time He is realised                  We thus become self-taught
In form our mind divined             Grace of Monad invoked

Surrender paves the way            Space and time disappear
But our heart must expand         The light of Self is known
Love and light our mainstay        Wisdom erases fear
That truth we understand            We come into our own

                                    Path any, just know this
                                    We are not body-mind
                                    All’s one; God alone is
                                    May this truth be divined

                                    Know there is no one here
                                    There’s no separate self
                                    God within is so near
                                    Let life flow by itself

                                    Surrender paves the way
                                    To reclaim inner light
                                    When love is our mainstay 
                                    Unbound is heart’s delight
