Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Here is a poem that I like: The Dark One's love-stain is on her, other ornaments Mira sees as mere glitter. A mark on her forehead, a bracelet, some prayer beads, beyond that she wears only her conduct. Make-up is worthless when you've gotten truth from a teacher. the Dark One has stained me with love, and for that some revile me, others give honor I simply wander the road of the sadhus lost in my songs. -- Poem by Mirabai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
