Love 3 - Light The Lamp Of Love Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Love 3 - Light The Lamp Of Love
As I light my house with myriad lamps,
A resolution I must take with
A heartfelt message to all,
As a humble healer!
When I light my red lamp,
God! I pray that all my anger
Burning within me,
May evaporate and disintegrate!
When I light my orange lamp,
God! I pray that my envious tendencies
Coiling within my body,
May be uncoiled and dispelled!
When I light my yellow lamp,
God! I pray that the desire to earb a living
Does not lead me to greed, instead,
May lead towards honesty and wisdom!
When I light my green lamp,
God! I pray that the knot of hatred
Embedded within my mind
May melt down and transform into love!
When I light my light blue lamp,
God! I pray that my bitter voice
Be cleansed, filtered and peeled off and
May change into sweet voice of melodious music.
When I light my dark blue lamp,
God! I pray that my days on earth
Be filled with kind thoughts and deeds, and
May lead me to compassion and contentment.
When I light my violet lamp,
God! I pray that my whole being
Be enveloped with joy, peace and
Unconditional, pure love, for all beings!
The festival of lights. I was captured by each lamp lit. I believe that most people that are self-aware must admit to their shortcomings. The most encouraging thing is in knowing that you have weaknesses and that knowledge seems to be a great strength that can be acted upon. Each lamp addressed a different aspect attached with a prayer of hope. Absolutely brilliant. A humble healer and enlightened teacher.
Compassion for all sisters and brothers, liked very much.
Unconditinal love for all beings? Is enveloped in the wisdom to avoid your humble being stung, hissed at, And enjoy them from afar? And from afar your dark blue lamp can shed some light on your dark blue philantropic action? Green is milder than hatred or maybe not in knoty surruptitious minus mind? But tired -all the colours in disarray.
Thank you dr Geeta for this divine prayer of love. Very imaginative comparisons to the colours of the lamps and love: a heartfelt message.
