SACRIFICE

Put ego-mind to the fiery flame of sacrifice,
In your spiritual heart abiding on the right.
The fool’s heart’s on the left as wisely bright
Ecclesiastes sagely stated, to be precise.
Bhagavan affirmed that Truth too, clearly and concise.
‘There dwells the Sun of Self, its shining blazing light,
Is darkly veiled by vasanas, black as night.
Remove them by surrender and enquiry, that my Sage advice!

God told Abrahman to sacrifice his only son
Isaac, a deed of devotion and surrender,
But compassionately, the Lord said “ none
Of thy kith and kin do thou need to render,
Just circumcise your righteous heart instead,
Then demon ego will surely drop down dead”!
