The Blind Enlightened Poem by Sridhar Amrita Aum

Born with the cries an’ eyes closed
Feedin’ on mother’s breast helpless,
An infant was born to the Brahma’s laws ill-defined
Shattered by the forces of nature, merciless.

The blind-one knew not, there was no one to call his own
Led by the laws of Karma to be thrashed, unfaltering,
Between the banks of pleasures an’ pains unknown
Looking high unto heavens, a seeker was born, faltering.

The Guru, visible, who is filled with smiles an’ blessedness
Held the one who is blind, caressing with love an’ gentleness,
Said, my child, there is the Light an’ Love already within uncovered
Sheltered by selfless an’ sacrifice for the Truth to be rediscovered.

The blind one, at once, felt released
The bonds of ignorance being shattered,
Being led into the heaven of the blessed
The blind one, at the end, enlightened.
