SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE
OUR 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 our Guru grant us release?
That's an earnest question each sadhak must ask
As he ploughs the hard ground of our holy task.
Self enquiry and devotional surrender,
Are certain ways for ego mind to render
Itself at the feet of our Guru in the Heart,
Who has promised he'll never ever depart,
Those who earnestly practice his great teaching,
Where from Arunachala he was always preaching.
So we continue to strive at our Holy Task,
Who Am I? is the urgent question we must ask.
