Jiv jago, jiv jago (12.1.2012)


The soul stirs.

It is
The potency of
The mantra,
Krishna’s holy Name.

What now?
Where to go from here?

The tendency
Is to just
Slip back in,
Like in the morning,
When the alarm clock
Announces
Yesterday’s good intentions,
How easy it is to
Just press
Snooze,
And pull the cover back
Over.

From another angle
The mantra
Is like an alarm clock
That wakens us up
From our identification
With our minds
As our selves.

It’s like an
Antiseptic,
Purifying
A contaminated
Object.

It’s like
A torch in
A dark place.

My dear mind,
Embrace with
Full attention the mantra,
The Name,
For within its syllables
Await
The spiritual world.

All else
Is simply
Mundane.
