SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

SAMSARA
How to escape dread sadness of samsara,
Continuous cycle of death and rebirth?
A vital question for wise women and men,
Who struggle might and main for all their worth,
In this complex life yet to be born again.
The answer's been stated throughout the ages.
Simplest is that of Bhagavan Ramana,
Known to be one of the highest Sages,
Who teaches surrender and atma vichara,
To rid us of demonic ego mind,
Leading us on to sat chit ananda,
Which in bliss of Self Realisation we shall find.
So sing the praises of Great Sri Ramana,
Mighty Sage who taught from Arunachala.
