True Devotion Poem by Rajpal Singh

No need to visit
Temple, mosque or church,
Or in some festive occasion
Holy lamp to torch.

No need to rush
For ringing temple bell,
Or for earning divine mercy
To listen mythical tale.

No need O' Lord
In your shrine coconut to crack
To invoke Your blessing
For a rich prosperous luck.

No need to sing
Your holy devotional song;
Or for the redemption of soul
To take penance for long.

No need O' Heaven,
To take Holy bath
For saving body and soul
From the fire of divine wrath.

Useless are those services
And self-deceiving arts
For nowhere You live
But in men's hearts.

A moment's devotion with purest heart
If being offered to YOU.
Certainly and without fail
Your grace would ensue.
