O My Jezus O Lord Jezus

O My Sakti, O Adi Sakti,

Is there not a nobler mission
than eating, drinking and sleeping?
it is difficult to get a human birth,
therefore try your best to realise in this birth
fie on that wretch, woe to that man
who wastes all his life in sensual pleasures
Time sweeps away kings and barons
where is yuddhistir? Where is ashoka?
where is Shakespeare? Where is valmiki?
where is napoleon? Where is shivaji?
Where is Gandhi, where is Jinah?
be up and doing yogic Sadhana
you will enjoy supreme bliss
be up and doin in brahma vichara
you will attain immortality, kaivalya moksha
can you expect real shanti
if you waste your time in idle-gossiping?
can you enjoy Supreme Peace
if you waste your time in novels, newspapers,
in fights and quarrels, in scandal, backbiting,
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
When the mind melts in the silence,
you will have Self-realisation.
What have you learnt, tell me frankly
from the Bihar and Quetta earthquakes?
Have you got now real Vairag?
Do you practise Japa and Kirtan?
Here is a challenge to non-believers
of the Hindu theory of transmigration:
Have you not heard the thrilling narratives
of Santi Devi, of her past life?
Can you expect real Shanti if you waste your time
in cards and cinemas ?
When your throat is choked at the time of death,
who will help you for your salvation?
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
Dehonaham, Jivonaham,
Pratyagabhinna Bramaivaham,
Paripurnoham Paramarthoham
Brahmaivaham Brahmaivaham
Jagad Kalpa Natha, Jiva Kalpa Natha
All This Kalpa Natha, Dhiera Svapa natha
All This Jalam, all this Juggler deeds
All This Maya's Street, All This Maya’s Thought
Nothing exist, nothing belongs to me,
I am neither my body, immortal Self I am
Practice Ahimsa, Satyam Brahmacharya
This is the foundation of Yoga Vedanta
Practice servant of Mani Asana
you will have Self-realisation
Eat a little, drink a little
talk a little, sleep a little
Mix a little, move a little
serve a little, give a little
Cried A Little, Share a Little
study a little, worship a little.
Do asana a little, pranayama a little
Reflect a Little Do Vicaar a Little
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
