HOMEWARD BOUND

FROM ALAN JACOBS ADVAITA VEDANTA

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

HOMEWARD BOUND

"Sadhak, from your true home you've badly strayed,
Your haven the Self is a bright light displayed,
You've become lost in sad egotistic thought,
Your own Real Self Divine must again be sought.
Be like the prodigal son and come back home,
You'll be welcomed never more again to roam
From that fiery spark divine there in your heart,
From which in essence you must never depart".
The aspirant heard his wise master's sage word,
And like a quick faithful homing pigeon bird,
Flew back to enquire into his natural source,
An action pursued without shame or remorse.
He distinguished Self from ego's froth and foam,
And through Sat-Guru's Grace he found his way home.
