IMMACULATE
SHINES GOD’S LIGHT
K. V. Advani
1) Seek release
from Maya’s snares;
O bird of
life, why cry and wail.
You can get
wings to fly freely,
When soul
abnegates Maya’s shell.
2) With
ecstatic joy and love,
Transform
life mute with pain,
Into god’s lute,
sweet with melody:
Life is too
opaque with fantasies ever so vain.
3) Lotus purity
of soul, does not grow in mire,
And rose buds
wither in snowy shower:
Let us play
on our soul’s sweet lyre,
When things
go wrong, beyond God’s bower.
4) God’s jewel
works as lucent lamp,
When life is
dark and morose;
Loss of
honeyed joys and fond hopes fading,
Dry up
fragrance of carmine of soul’s rose.
5) Shadows of
life are ever changing
Like psychic
states of man:
God’s light
shines immaculate and bright,
Through mazy
paths leading to roseate dawn.
6) Union with
God is a rare asset,
When the
tired soul attains consummation,
Like a bird
reaching its blessed nest;
Bond of love,
brings salvation.
