~ Inner Light… ~ 

☆

O’ soul  awaken  to absolute truth divine,

And  let the ego’s  fleeting dreams decline

In  slumber’s  realm, the world’s  loud din

Fades  to  a whisper, and  thy heart  wins

 *

The  soul’s  voice, a radiant  leading light,

Leads thee to the eternal the heavenly sight

‘That Thou Art,’ a truth to realize and see,

A reflection of the effulgent divine, in thee

 *

Resolve to seek this truth, thy heart’s desire,

And let ego’s illusions, like mist or jungle fire

In this pursuit, find liberation’s roaring clap,

And union with thy divine Self,  in God’s lap

 *

May thy journey inward, be guided by the light,

That shines within thee, through the dark night

When thou findest thy true Self, thou shalt see,

The divine within thee, with all smiles and glee
