DISTRACTIONS

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

DISTRACTIONS
Too many cravings in this madcap world,

Spell danger for the Sage's devotees,

As into useless distractions they are hurled.

All these carnal diversions that one sees,

Steal from Self Enquiry and surrender

To Sat Guru abiding in the heart,

Prescribed practices we're meant to render

To reach moksha from which we'll never part.
We need supreme faith in the Divine will,
Inscrutable it is for good and not for ill,
God leads and guides us in our sadhana,
To final glory of sat chit ananda.
No more need be said except gratitude,
Best to keep quiet and rest in beatitude.
