Am A Sai Devotee Poem by Sai Sister Nayanika Jayaram

[Guest guest]

sairam,

this is a wonderful poem. it has in it, the essence of what swami wants us to be like. in fact as i was reading, i could feel divine inspiration behind every word written.

it is a combination and a perfect blend of karma yoga, bhakti yoga and jnana yoga.

i just wish and pray that we live upto these expectations..this is what swami has been teaching all these years..indeed his mission of earth would be fulfilled if we act accordingly.

not that he needs us for accomplishing His mission, but that we should be blessed to be a part of it and derive the bliss therein.

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.
