Devotion (Bhakti) Poem by Sathya Narayana

BHAKTHI
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
One dipping deep in Bhakti sweet
thinks drowning is joy-zenith!
He spurns the prop of earthly earth
and even heaven's mirth!

It's strong ambrosia and mead
so sweet; Bhakti's odd zing
is far better, better; beyond
the girth of wordy swing!

So queer are peers of Bhakti. Shun
all that I taught at yore,
like yoga and jnana! Yet they win
my love, singing my lore!

They're love personified. Their minds
are filled with me; their tongues
recite always my names; they sing
and dance with ecstasy stung!

Than angelic life in heavens tall,
in carefree carnal spree;
they think better to strive on earth,
chanting His name with glee!
