Droplets of Divinity

[Guest guest]

In this world of Sathya Sai

I'd often wondered ..... who am I ?

 

Thrust into life upon this Earth

I'd wonder why ..... my human birth !

 

>From babe to child from child to man

What purpose life .....this mortal span

 

Like others on this 'earthly plane'

I've known my times of tears and pain

 

And wondered why ......it must be so

Surely its not wrong to know ?

 

But ........caught up in my worldly senses

Imprisoned by my mental fences

 

And blinded by illusion....... me

I'd lost the plot ......of Unity

 

There were brief times along the years

When beauty moved my heart to tears

 

And for another life I yearned

But daily pressures soon returned

 

Of work, ambition ....human goals

I dwelt like creatures in their holes !

 

Must we live for 'mighty buck' ?

And trust our life to Lady luck ?

 

Or maybe there's another way

For those like me ......who'd gone astray

 

But longed for something more to life

Than ceaseless toil and endless strife

 

Perhaps you think its all too late

Best leave it all to Father Fate

 

O Friend of mine ......search high and low

There IS another way to go

 

Onwards .......upwards....... make the climb

It's worth the effort and the time

 

For those who live in 'shadowed vale'

Create their own imagined hell

 

Whilst those brave souls who take 'The Staff'

And ventured on that upward path

 

Will thread where saintly feet have trod

Towards the light ........to find their God

 

With heart aglow and firmer tread

They seek the goal way up ahead

 

And there ....

 

As if by high decree

A master comes to set us free

 

Of ties that bind us to the past

He opens wide 'The Door' at last

 

A golden stairway to the sun

Resplendent light .......where all is one

 

Where love springs forth ......in ceaseless flow

To nurture all of life below

 

What can one say of such as He

A master of eternity

 

In robe of softest orange hue

Who offers all .....to me and you

 

If we but come with humble mind

He'll help release the chains that bind

 

And take us on that 'Inward Quest'

He only asks that we do our best

 

And leave the rest in His sweet Hands

He's always there and understands

 

Our seepest hopes .......our highs and lows

There's one thing for sure ....He always knows

 

But what can we do in return ?

Besides His teachings we must learn

 

To see ourselves and others too

>From quite a different point of view

 

Through eyes that see with Perfect Sight

Reflections of the Master's light

 

And then it's plain for all to see

We are .....droplets of divinity
