SOUL'S STRONG YEARNING

SOUL'S STRONG YEARNING

SOUL'S STRONG YEARNING IS EVER EVER BURNING,
 TO BE WITH THE BELOVED, DEEP IN THE HEART.
 POOR BOTHERED BRAIN IS EVER WHIRLING, TURNING,
 STRUGGLING TO KNOW HOW DEAR GOD WILL IMPART
 THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR OWN TRUE SELF WITHIN,
 BUT VEILED BY DENSE CLOUDS OF WANDERING MIND,
 DARK SHROUDS WHICH POINT TO IGNORANCE THEREIN.
 SADLY OUR OWN TRUE NATURE WE FAIL TO FIND.

THE SAGE SOLVES OUR ANGUISH AND TELLS US HOW,
 HE SIMPLY SAYS 'SELF ENQUIRE AND INWARDLY DIVE,
 NOT JUST FOR TO MORROW BUT RIGHT HERE AND NOW.
 ONCE SELF REALISED, WE SHALL EVER EVER THRIVE'!
