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?

Worshippers of Truth

Worshippers of flesh
-----Weep and cry;
Again, and again
-----Take birth and die;
Worshippers of God
-----Smile with joy;
Leave this world
-----To reach the eternal sky.

Days will pass, time will fly
-----Many will come, many will die
The brave will succeed
-----The weak will cry
Grow strong wings
-----And learn to fly.

Power of Love

Force creates friction
-----Friction generates heat
Head creates fire
-----Which destroys everything.
Love creates bonds
-----Keeps everyone tight
Conquest through love
-----Is better than a fight.

He who loves his enemy
-----Is a religious person;
He who serves his enemy
-----Is a spiritual person;
He who does not have an enemy
-----Is an enlightened person.


=================================Swami Srikantananda

Be Free

The soul is ever free
Therefore, struggle for freedom is
But natural for everybody.
There is something wrong with
Those who don’t struggle.
It is an abnormal state of mind.
It is sheer ignorance.
Let us feel pity for them.

Every goal other than freedom
Will lead to dissatisfaction
Because all other goals are only
Efforts to curtail that freedom
Which is the only goal.

Why I am a Lawyer

I am not that Lawyer
To Whom ‘Money is God’
I am but that lawyer
To whom ‘Truth is God’

I am not that lawyer
-----Whose learning is for earning
I am but that lawyer
-----Whose earning Is for serving

I am not that lawyer
-----Whop always expects bribes
I am but that lawyer
-----Whose heart melts seeing cries

I am not that lawyer
-----Who earns by telling lies
I am but that lawyer
-----For whom Truth is life

I am not that lawyer
-----Who does not love his country
I am but that lawyer
-----Whose life is for the country

I am not that lawyer
-----Who is eager for his fees
I am but that lawyer
-----Who is eager for justice

I am not that lawyer
-----Who poses to be busy
I am but that lawyer
Who has access easy

I am not that lawyer
-----Who has arrogance and pride
Iam but that lawyer
-----Who is humane and kind

I am not that lawyer
Says ‘I am dispenser of justice’
I am but that lawyer
-----Who says ‘God is Chief Justice
Tilak, Patel, Gandhiji
------Also handled clients
They are my role models
-----For they were spiritual giants.
