About Bhakti
Contrary to popular belief…
Strength lies in humility
Whereas weakness does in pride
Our base, set in simplicity
Puts complexities to the side
Pleasures ignite from stimulus
But that is so short-lived
Long-term comes from vigilance
When cheap thrills will outlive
Entertainment may lift us up
But education takes us higher
Spectators don’t always see close up
It’s through wisdom we’re inspired
We define ourselves in bodily terms
Yet the body is just a shell
Our observing this shell confirms
That it’s within that we do dwell
Happiness happens in receiving
And that is certainly true
However, the item that is most pleasing
Is when one gives to Him and you
