DIRECT PATH SONNET

DIRECT PATH SONNET

God graciously steers our skiff to the furthest shore,

Can man or woman wish for any gift worth more?

Than to wake up from dark deep sleep of samsara,

One's highest aim. Now thanks to Great Lord Ramana,
...
His direct path is shown for all who yearn to learn,

And wholeheartedly burn with inner fire to turn,

Surrendering to Bhagavan biding in their Heart,

With Self Enquiry, the highest desirable art,

A man or woman can ever attempt to try,

Before their predestined day when due to die.

With determination persistence and attention,

Diving deep into the heart with breath retention,

Are all one needs to achieve that blessed deed,

And through their Self Realisation be finally freed.
