Everyone took centuries,
Nay! eons to get here
to obtain a human form...
When I trod
the Himalayas
there were scores of people
snaking around
Sri Yamunotri
like a Vasuki cobra encircling
Lord Shiva's majestic sapphire throat
their pining footsteps thundering
through the ancient Indian skies
...a blink... on the scrolls of time
...a sigh of ecstasy
O Divine Self!
that is..was..
And forever will be!
Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba says:
"A human birth is the most sacred one among
the 84 lakhs (8400000) of different living beings in this creation.
To attain such a sacred birth is a great fortune indeed"
