The Soul & Bondage Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Oh! Soul seek no refuge
Under the shade of illusion!
You came here to correct your misdeeds
Lo! Instead became a captive of attachments!
Knowing or unknowing treading the same path
Paving the way to suffer for some more births
Your bondage is never ending
Not confined to this birth
If start worrying for whom the worry is?
Worry for them that accompany you
Even after death, which are nothing
But your selfless deeds and compassion
Free yourself! Let not the aspirations
Of your beloved make you greedy and selfish!
