Self-Realization Poem by C. P. Sharma
Self-Realization
As clouds of glory we do come
From God who is our real home.
Attached to karmas we descend,
By their riddance we can ascend,
Our karmas 1 to world in threefold bind:
Accumulated karmas to world rewind,
In planned karmas new birth we find,
The destined karmas follow as blind.
Let karmas your soul unwind,
Then only your salvation find.
As first step yourself detach,
To this world do not attach.
As second step know thyself,
Rise above the power and pelf.
Consider the gold as dust,
In yourself create the trust.
Submit ego unto the lord,
On the divine boat board.
Only on ONE meditate,
Your trust in Him create.
Rise above this body,
Get rid of music shoddy,
Give ears to His melody,
The world is His parody.
Go slow step by step,
Never try to overstep,
Let Guru 2 be your guard,
Give him your kind regard.
Inspired by the message of Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati: Sadhana Panchaka (Five Verses on Spiritual Practice) : PART-V dated Octobe 22,2007 on sant_santati

I have gone thru your process of self realization.Thnx for sharing.It must be helpful.It is well written too...10 from Brishti...
You have shared a very meaningful and spiritual opus to all of us. As i have read some notes from the Indian sage Swami P. all these follow to what you have written....makes one spirit stronger 10+++
An excellent melodious poem with spiritual flavor. The content is nicely crafted- thoughtful composition.10
The only way forwards is to admit the faults we do and keep an eye on oneself for the deeds we do. If we have a good observation for ourselves then the process of achievements would become easy and this can only be done with self-realization.... a very nice thought provoking poem....10/10
A reflection of many great preachings of Bharat...'Consider the gold as dust, In yourself create the trust.'splendid words
This poem is an excellent recapitualtion of the Vedic wisdom. Flows very well like what is seen in most of your work. And ending with a salute to Guru, that is the best part.
C.P. thank you for sharing your Swami's wisdom. Divine knowledge, good deeds, and listening for the bliss in silence, means we have joined the road to Self. We may not be realised. but surely we now lead a much better life. I enjoyed your poem, thank you once again. Bob
Essence of great teachings of many Parama Gurus. Somehow reminds me some slokas of BhajaGovindam by Sri Audi Shankara: . Who’s your wife and who’s your offspring Oh brother! Baffling is this life From where you came; to whom belong Think well of this truth beatific
a wise share sir you made us take part in the discourse
