As clouds of glory we do come <br /> <br />From God who is our real home. <br /> <br />Attached to karmas we descend, <br /> <br />By their riddance we can ascend, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Our karmas 1 to world in threefold bind: <br /> <br />Accumulated karmas to world rewind, <br /> <br />In planned karmas new birth we find, <br /> <br />The destined karmas follow as blind. <br /> <br /> <br />Let karmas your soul unwind, <br /> <br />Then only your salvation find. <br /> <br />As first step yourself detach, <br /> <br />To this world do not attach. <br /> <br /> <br />As second step know thyself, <br /> <br />Rise above the power and pelf. <br /> <br />Consider the gold as dust, <br /> <br />In yourself create the trust. <br /> <br /> <br />Submit ego unto the lord, <br /> <br />On the divine boat board. <br /> <br />Only on ONE meditate, <br /> <br />Your trust in Him create. <br /> <br /> <br />Rise above this body, <br /> <br />Get rid of music shoddy, <br /> <br />Give ears to His melody, <br /> <br />The world is His parody. <br /> <br /> <br />Go slow step by step, <br /> <br />Never try to overstep, <br /> <br />Let Guru 2 be your guard, <br /> <br />Give him your kind regard. <br /> <br /> <br />Inspired by the message of Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati: Sadhana Panchaka (Five Verses on Spiritual Practice) : PART-V dated Octobe 22,2007 on sant_santati <br /> <br /> <br />1 Actions arising out of the desires and cravings that condition the mind. <br /> <br />2 The teacher, the guide who is our friend and the philosopher.<br /><br />C.
