| The "I" that I am
Is a part of Thee
The "I" that’s me
Is what you see
Nothing but a facet
Is the "I" you see
A mere drop of water
In a fathomless sea
I am possessed by maya
Forever consumed by fire
I am in search of the rest
From the corporeal mire
I am mercurial
I am never still
Every with granted
I want at will
Every incarnation is
Desire taking birth
Upon satiation, death
Which ceased to be mirth
Like a bee gathering nectar
From a lotus in full bloom
I am seduced by the fragrance
And oblivious of the doom
But in spite of it’s temporal
And transitory pleasures
I long for the illusory
And material treasures
The visible, physical nature
The sensual, mental delight
Cloud the inner vision
And I go on losing sight
The essentiality I know not
Of duality I am unaware
Of the real purpose of life
I am just not aware
The "I" having sought
The sea of life anew
Enters a state of Bliss
Where the "I" becomes you. |
