DIVINE STRENGTH

Never be over-confident
About your strength.
Human strength is not
Enough to break
This terrible bondage called world.
Take the help of God, an Embodiment of divine strength,
And you are safe.

This world is ever ready
To pounce upon you like a
Tiger. Ready to drag you
And to kill you. But this
Animal called world cannot
Touch you if you keep constant
Company of God.
Whenever you sense any danger
To your spiritual life, rush to God
Like a child who runs to the mother.
Say to Yourself,
‘I am a child of God.
God, like a compassionate mother
Is protecting us all the time.
How can I be tempted by these
Petty things of this world,
When the kingdom
Of God is at my disposal?
