Sacrifice(Yajña) , The Alchemy Of Life Poem by Ashutosh Dash

Struggling through winds, the winds of reluctance,
Surrounded with desires, longing for abundance,
Some fortunate we say, they've inherited destiny,
Wrapped in bondage, opaque to divine alchemy.

We believe the matrix, one inscribed by histories,
We fantasize affluence and materialize victories,
We're divided by status and dissected by fame,
The fortunes we idealize, and truth aren't same.

The attachments we create, poisons righteousness,
For the conquests we chase, they initiate restlessness,
Restless for desires, we chase an endless deception,
Being detached and deluded from divine intention.

We curse these times, the community and surround,
Blinded by mistakes, never confront our inner sound,
Temptations' the genesis, the source of such emotion,
Being detached, the sacrifice, the seeds of liberation.

Sacrifice your fortunes, your fantasies of prosperity,
Sacrifice your suffering, and grounds of adversity,
Sacrifice attachments, your networks of vulnerability,
Sacrifice your knowledge, as an offering to divinity.

We're divided by wealth, and divided by emotions,
We're divided by struggles, divided by definitions,
We're divided by beliefs, blinded by superstitions,
Yet united by souls, the residence of devinitions.

When desires are material, they materialize suffering,
When emotions supervise, they devastate reasoning,
Silence your bondage, and comprehend your soul,
Envisage The alchemy, as selfless Karma is thy role.
