This body consciousness is not easy to discard
I watch my outer form
shrivel up like fragrant gardenia blossoms
on our dining room table
And oh!
The necklace of attachments and
ambition
nearly strangles the beauty within
O mind, smarana, remember
the dulcet presence of Hari that lives
inside you
Hasten to His lotus feet
He is waiting now
to embrace you
Sathya Sai Baba
says:
"I am part of you, a partner and partaker in all your efforts,
inspiring and instructing you.
So we begin and so we end, You in Me and I in you."
