The Fall and Redemption of Soul
HERE ENDS YOUR Read more blogs (English/Hindi) |
I found the following nice poem in Maharaj’s diary. It was actually written by H. G. Dravida prabhu, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who played a major role in finishing the last three cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam.
Where Krsna lies, felicity
abounds with pure simplicity
with loving sensibility
and all serve Him with humility
But when a living entity
rejects his true identity
and out of sheer stupidity
surrenders to cupidity
He looses all sagacity
and with it, all capacity
to understand reality
or curb his sensuality
Abandoning humility
he touts(praises) his own ability
forgetting his capability
and fortune’s volatility(changeability)
Immersed in assimility (stupidity)
for what seems an infiinity
of lives of piety
he suffers in anxiety
Till contact with God’s devotee
perhaps of utmost brevity (short time)
awakens his affinity
for words of divinity
Perceiving the futility
of all his imbecility (stupidity)
the soul regains his sanity
and cast away his vanity
Endowed with more humility
he serves with all ability
and growing spontaneity
his guru and deity
Regaining his identity
the wayward living entity
returns to the fraternity
of Krsna, for eternity.
