Devotion

Seek God, but path is not clear.
Know thyself, so says the Seer.
Birth and Rebirth, are they our lot?
Are we worthy of redemption?
Rebirth, can I seek exemption?
The answer to it is Bhakti
Anyway, what is Bhakti?
That is to God self-surrender.
That man is without blunder.
A life of humility bereft of hubris.
God renders hubris into debris.
Wealth made by stealth
Somehow leads to waning health.
Devotion equalizes man and monarch
In the eyes of mighty Ethnarch.
Trivial pursuits, indulge not in vain
Grace and Salvation, I shall attain.

By Veeraswamy Krishnaraj
