I am the watcher
I am not born.
From land to land
I travel
Different climes and different people
Different dress and different custom.
Unattached, I watch the world go
Like a merry go round.
I have seen joys
I have seen tears.
I have seen unions
And I have seen separations too.
But I am unattached.
I am the watcher beyond time
And death.
Many names have I had.
Always as per my master's order
I live in different house
At different time
Till he calls me back.
I join not in the travails of this earthly body
I live in
Nor am I affected by its joys
Or pain.
I am the watcher.
Born of the five elements
A bundle of bones and flesh
Tied up with loose end of the senses
And slave to the gullible mind,
Ignorant of his own glory
The body loiters;
Lost in the alleys of this earth
This body is bound
And pays a high price for its ignorance.
It loiters for a short time
Building dream castles in the sands of time.
I am beyond fear
I am beyond time,
I am beyond this body
I am the watcher,
Eternally untainted
Attained only by love and devotion.
