Light-1 Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Truth alone
Exists eternally
Changeless
And so also
Do love
And light
Goodness
And beauty
Are but facets
Of truth.

One realizes
Divine self
By pursuing
Truth
Love and light
Enlightenment
And blissfulness
Can be attained
By following
The path of
Truth
Love and light
Although
For a short while
One may suffer
Impediments
But must emerge
Victorious ultimately
The luminous
Flame of truth
Never gets extinct.

It’s immaterial
Whether
One wins or loses
But, what
Really counts
The spirit
With which
One strives
Despite travail.

Enlightenment
Dawns
Thereafter
Arduous process
Of inner
Transformation
For spiritual
Evolution
And higher levels
Of consciousness
Through prayers
And meditation
To purify the mind
And elevate it
To sublimate
The ordeals of life
To put oneself on
The spiritual track
To attain divine self
Through
Truth
Love and light.
