The Treasures of Your Soul
The Soul
Those who saw the ONLY TRUTH
Had not since a word uttered
And the ones who talk of it
Are not through the VISION as yet
Whole is that and whole is this
Whole yields whole and still stays whole
So say Holy men and Books
What could one say more on SOUL
World is untrue misleading
Formed as it is by those five
‘Bhootas’, false, through which the truth
Plays with us as forms and names
What permeates and transcends this
World unseen is but this truth
All have come forth from that one
All do survive in its grace
Sense organs work overtime
Joy and pain we feel through them
They do take us through life’s paths
Wealth and pleasure are what most seek
Secrets of this life and world
Seek some through these same false tools
They know not their ways are wrong
Soon they trip and fall to death
Law of ‘Karma’ leads us on
What follows are births and deaths
Life on earth is so special
For it gives one his rare chance
Start by looking inward now
Close your eyes to things outside
Do your duties as prescribed
Thoughts of its fruits are ‘no-no’
You will get a Teacher now
Step by step he leads you on
Soul will merge in soul supreme
Bliss of Knowledge is for you
