665. How Do Fear And Faith Exist Together? Poem by Raman Savithiri

665. How Do Fear And Faith Exist Together?



If You are at my home
Accepting my petty offerings
Making me worth to fathom
Your grace sheltering from sufferings
Letting my heart to melt
In Your sweet names
To shed tears as Your presence felt
Though You hide Your forms

Why still fear resides in my heart?
Why the insecure feeling is felt?
Why worry about children’s safety?
Why worry about husband’s longevity?
Why worry about tomorrow?
Why worry about karma’s arrow?

Ma! first give me faith
Somehow convey to my monkey mind
That You pervade earth
Moon, stars and space like that of wind
Surrounding me all the time!
Let the faith fill me to the brim!
Removing all my fear- roots! 190610

Ma! first give me faith Somehow convey to my monkey mind That You pervade earth Moon, stars and space like that of wind Surrounding me all the time! Let the faith fill me to the brim! Removing all my fear- roots! i loved these lines and wonder about your tremendous faith.. indeed it is marvellous universal Mother, a great concept. God has no forms and so God can appear in any form. to you God appears as the Universal Mother. MA! ! thank you for conveying your faith to us poets. thank you again

the great Mother being Bhayapahaa, the one who removes fear, we children need not fear anything... fear comes when we think about future Amma being the present past and future for all Her children Fear factor naturally vanishes your this poem motivates people like me to think about Lalithamma....keep giving more so that our souls get drenched in the divine poetic water...wonderful piece leading to peace
