Follow Divine Dictates*

Rating: 5.0


A million cleansing of no avail
If piety in mind doesn’t prevail,
Being quiet restores not the peace
If we vibrant conscience fleece.

Delusive hunger doesn’t satisfy
If ever explosive desires tie,
A thousand crafty attempts made
But out of mire I couldn’t wade.

By His laws the forms compose,
By His laws the life flows,
Obeying His dictates life glows,
But decoding them none knows.

By His order are good and bad,
Some are happy others sad;
On some shines His Grace,
Others in death-birth’s circle race.

All pervading is His law,
Nothing is beyond its claw;
If one comes to know His Law
He gets rid of ego’s flaw.
