3. The Truth of Life
I haven’t seen uou, O’ Sai!
By these external eyes
But the divine light emerging from you
Has percolated deep into
The crevices of my heart
And provide me the consciousness
To seek the Self in me.
Today ,a stage has come
When at every turn of life
An unseen hand appears from nowhere
Provides me inspiration and guidance
To live life with full gusto
Without any fear, rancour or remorse.
The “I” in me is not yet dead
But seems to have been lost
In the wilderness of your thoughts
And looks all around for its Sai
Of whom, it loves to be called.
4. Sai Woke Me Up
I was lying fast asleep
Sai came and woke me up
Regaining consciousness
As I got up
My world had changed
My heart was wrapped
In a thick blanket of bliss
Every part of my body
Was emitting a sweet fragrance
My goals in life
My desires, my ambitions, my expectations
Me view of looking at things
The feelings of my heart
Had all changed
I felt as though
I had been reborn
Not from the womb of my physical mother
But by the grace of my unseen mother-Sai.
I have reached this stage in life today
Walking and wandering
At times tumbling down and then getting up again
Getting kicks here and there.an invisible hand comes
Life me up affectionately
Removes the dust from my body
And providing me inspiration to move ahead
Disappears into oblivion.
What I have gained in life and what lost
Neither do I know nor wish to know
Me heart, me mind
Seems to be filled with a strange tranquility
It appears
All my wishes, all my desires
Have got lost somewhere far behind
And the “I” sitting idle within me
Seem to have reached its destination
Where it seeks neither happiness nor misery
Nor death nor eternity
Heaven or hell nobody appears to have seen
If any wish is left as such
It merely is
To remain lost in the self
With an extreme tranquil mind
And in that desire-less state
To merge in the infinite “I”,
Leaving behind no trace of my existence
Without name, without form
The “I”, in me may disappear
In the vast, infinite, whole “I”.
