While gulping foodstuff in variety, <br />With my spouse and children only, <br />Forgetting about million folks, <br />Who hunger for a single feast, <br />Let me not talk of ADVAITA! <br /> <br />While dressing my filthy body, <br />By silky dress worth much money, <br />Forgetting about countless sisters, <br />Who long for a sarry just to alter, <br />Let me not talk about ADVAITA! <br /> <br />While dousing the fire of lust then and now, <br />With my sweet heart in the name of love, <br />Forgetting about numerous hearts, <br />Who wait to be noticed their love beats, <br />Let me not talk about ADVAITA! <br /> <br />While I am prone to hurt my associate, <br />If I cowardly test ADVAITA the vast, <br />By piercing a dagger into another heart, <br />Telling ‘body can not be cut or burnt! ’, <br />Let me not talk about ADVAITA <br /> <br />Amma, is it not wise to worship You, <br />Though it is of primitive run through, <br />Rather than wasting devotional twilights, <br />With friends fatal and mortal ‘I’? <br />Let me practice DVAITA only! <br /> <br />As far as I bleed and mourn even a needle’s prick, <br />As far as I am numb and hard to feel the pain <br />Of my fellow being when a thorn pricks him, <br />Let me stick to You and You alone. <br />As far as the ‘I’ is there let me cling to ‘You’! <br /> <br />28-12-07<br /><br />Raman Savithiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/963-as-far-as-i-is-there-let-me-cling-to-you/
