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

May the Source be with you!
