HEART OF FIRE

Let's stoke a blazing fire deep in the heart,
Throw all tendencies on that funeral pyre,
Then invoke our Self, purified from mire.
That's indeed true pilgrim's need and art;
Although in life, we play our destined part,
As actors on the screen of life, set to enquire
Who Am I? and in Self abidance then retire.
Thus a new fulfilled life begins to start.
If fate forces us to play a certain role,
Pray do so without anxious attachment,
That's so essential to make one whole.
Live a tranquil life in calm detachment,
That must be the earnest pilgrim's goal,
To fill with love and bliss, heart's crystal bowl.
