Guru

 

Here’s a poem about “guru” dedicated to Prabhupada written after a brief walk.

 

I was sitting in the room

Made a call by way of Zoom

Looked at verse 4:34

What a seeker’s looking for

 

Why is it so advised

To get vision beyond the eyes

While a passion hungry heart

Yearns for pleasure from the start?

 

Self-help goes so far

Alone—you’re in a jar

We have a certain limit

Think it over for a minute

 

To accept a real good guide

Who tells of the other side

You access essential wisdom

Taking you closer to the kingdom

 

All that you require

Is to approach him and inquire

Learn what it is to serve

It takes so little nerve

 

Be open to the truth

Hear from his tongue and tooth

Because he’s on the path

You’re in the purest bath

 

May the Source be with you!
