The Karma Yogi

A hush of silence settles down,
Broken by the soft gurgling waters,
Mellowed by the yogi's muted chants,
Without a soul to hinder his prayer;

Intellect perceptions intact,
Awake to supreme joys of knowledge,
Remains calm in tranquility,
Unhindered by all the worldly lusts;

Attains eternal peace within, 
Karma of knowledge and devotion.
 
Gita: Eternal Peace Chapter 2 verse 70
