GREAT FAITH

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

GREAT FAITH

Take the deep leap into firm certainty of faith,
With determined unshakeable fearlessness!
Let blessed mount Arunachala be our shield,
Against sense storms of restless rebel mind.
Enjoy wholly untroubled carefree satvic calm,
By handing over our whole fictional burden
Of worry, concern stress and fancied anxiety,
About preordained duties and many affairs,
To our Lord of Love and infinite compassion,
Bhagavan Sri Ramana, Self of our own Being,
To whom we've unconditionally surrendered,
Taking refuge in the spiritual heart with devotion.
Even tribulation is welcomed as for the best!
We gain mind control through Japa of His Name,
And dive into the Heart, questing for source of 'I',
Full of gratitude for his boundless love and grace.
