938. Mother, I Am Here; Find Me! 090408 Poem by Raman Savithiri

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone to love me deeply without expecting anything from me!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone to accept me with all dirt accumulated throughout all life!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone who won’t calculate my usefulness based on caste or belief!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone to cool down my heart holding volcano of emotions fierce!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone who is ready to forget my fault but to remember my value!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

All my life, all over world I search for,
Someone who is both wise and kind to lead me through all my strife!
Who else it could be Oh Mother other than Thee?

Thinking thus rational, I surrender at Your feet.
I know not if You are visible or hidden.
I know not if You would reciprocate or neglect.
But is it not wise, not to waste my life,
Behind illusive relations seem to be true?
Is it not wise to shrink meekly to lie at Your abode,
Though You don’t appear to be real as the world? 090408

Fixing the heart on God alone is the only act of wisdom, though God appears or not, though God accepts or not. All other deeds will lead to karma causing life-cycle.
