When I turn inward to see You <br />The sights I saw outward blur my vision <br />When I turn inward to hear You <br />The sounds I heard spoil my mission <br /> <br />When I sit to sing Your names dear <br />The food I took from out blocks my tear <br />When I raise my head to meet Your eyes <br />The slandering I did lowers my eye lids <br /> <br />When I step forward in my inner journey <br />The foolish acts of my senses five <br />And numerous attachments to my false body <br />Drag me outer ending in daily strife! <br /> <br />If my Love is true I will control my eyes <br />From seeing TV atrocities, net dirties <br />If my love is true I will feed my eyes <br />By seeing Your dance in endless skies <br /> <br />If I love You truly I will close my ears <br />Not to hear backbite in forthcoming years <br />If I love You truly I keep open my ear <br />To hear Your name to keep You near! <br /> <br />If I love You truly I will slander no more <br />But I will chant Your beauties from heart core <br />If I love You truly I will watch my tongue <br />Not to hurt anyone by harsh word sting <br /> <br />If my Love is true I will not kill to eat <br />I will live on fruits, nuts, rice or wheat <br />I know for sure, You, whom I wish to meet <br />Will go away if I take any creature’s meat! <br /> <br />I hear temple bell; I sense divine smell! <br />I see the way! I will reach where You dwell! <br />Not by my will but by Your gracious pull! <br />I will unite You when my ego is fell!<br /><br />Raman Savithiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/681-the-day-is-not-far-away-to-meet-you-311209/
