Fwd: Am A Sai Devotee Poem by Sai Sister Nayanika Jayaram

          AM A SAI DEVOTEE

  I am not born for lesser things.

I cannot compare myself with anyone else.

My life is mine. My Swami is mine.

I am a Sai devotee.

  Passing joys do not titillate me.

Waning shadows do not amuse me.

Fading bodies, flickering minds do not entice me.

I am not here for lesser pleasures.

I am a Sai devotee.

  I am not here for composing an incomplete poem,

Not for executing an unaccomplished mission.

I want it in full – the bliss.

I am going to finish it – once and for all.

Nothing can pull me to get off my train

At an intermediate station.

I am a Sai devotee.

  There is a logic if someone

Who does not believe in God

Complains about his problems.

There is a reason if someone

Who has no guiding star

lags behind with indolence.

But I am not like that.

I have the solution in my hand.

I have my Guru

Not somewhere else on earth,

But seated in my own heart.

I am a Sai devotee.

  It does not make sense in my case to spend

Even a single moment in despair.

It is not rational in my case to wait for happiness.

It is not reasonable to behave

Even with the slightest egoism, in my case.

I do His work, He does my work.

I am a Sai devotee.

  I am here to give, not to take.

I am here to forgive, not to avenge.

I am here to console, not to complain.

I am a Sai devotee.

  I don't ask you for anything.

My Swami will give me.

You can neither harm me nor help me.

It is His will that becomes my life.

I am a Sai devotee.

  When I talk sweetly to you,

you might think that I like you.

No, I am talking to my Swami in you.

When I help you, you might think

I am being kind to you.

No, I am serving my Swami in you.

I am a Sai devotee.

  On the outset

I may appear like anyone else.

Cause I also have two hands and two ears.

But my hands are always involved

In my Swami's work.

I do everything in His name,

Even a cough or a sneeze,

A walk or a talk.

My ears always hear His Voice,

His Name and His Message.

I am a Sai devotee.

  On the surface,

My life might appear like that of anyone else.

Since I also work and earn,

Eat and feed, sleep and dream.

But my thoughts are always in Him and for Him.

I have no misgivings, no bothers.

No fears, no complaints.

I am a Sai devotee.

  I will be a success.

It is a fact, not a hope.

I am everything.

It is my experience, not a quote.

I am a Sai devotee.

  I do, but I am not the doer.

I dream, but I am not the dreamer.

I walk in His footsteps.

I fly on His wings.

I am a Sai devotee.

  Joy is my nature not my dream.

Light is what I radiate, not what I search for.

Love is what I am, not what I yearn for.

I am a Sai devotee.

  For you, Dussera might be today.

For me, it is everyday, every moment.

I am a Sai devotee.
