THE HOLY TASK

THE HOLY TASK

Spiritual heart and intelligence well knows,
But ego mind betrays us and delivers blows.
When will this holy war cease in perfect peace,
And the Grace of the Guru grant us release?
That's an earnest question each sadhak will ask
As he ploughs the hard ground of the holy task,
Self enquiry and devotional surrender,
The certain way for ego mind to render
Itself at the feet of Sat Guru in the Heart,
Who has promised he will never ever depart
Those who zealously practice his wondrous teaching,
Which from Arunachala he was ever preaching.
So we continue to strive at the Holy Task,
Who Am I? is the urgent question we must ask.
