DR. H. JANARDANA RAO
Sacrifice is real strength
It bums away the mass
That surrounds ego
Makes the dull soul shine
As gold from the fire.
Sacrifice is immortality
It transcends bounds of earth
Of the confines of man’s heart
Makes life Divine
As pure as Lotus
Sacrifice is life’s swan song
Its tune is lofty love
That encompasses the universe
It ennobles the life and the lives around
As a torch kindles another
Sacrifice is divine
The higher stage of the human
In every act and thought
It’s this that lifts him higher
The lofty thought of all the saints.
