A tribute to revered Guru, “Mother”. Guru Purnima 2017
Purple for the monarch of Earth and heaven
A true sage queen is She in both blood and bearing
She wields palpable magic beyond fiction
Worlds and dimensions are within Her Knowing
…
The painterly blues of sweeping mountains and skies
Like Mother’s all-encompassing vision
Past, present, and future within Her view
No thought too subtle to remain hidden
…
The bejeweled greens of Mother Nature
Are enlivened by Mother’s fresh wisdom
The noble deodars display their ardor
Before Her bows the animal kingdom
…
The yellow of the sun, bestowing life on all
Illuminating like Mother’s presence
For the discerning who heed humility’s call
Salvation abounds in every moment
…
Orange are the flames of Her sacred fire
Frightful for adharma and pert egos
But not those for whom moksha is the one desire
For it burns only impurities that cause woe
…
The enchanting reds and pinks of love’s great fame
Only find true expression in Mother’s rich heart
Beyond ‘jivas’ frugality and glib games
She shows us love without conditions or parts
…
And so we arrive at white, pristine and pure
Untainted by the shades of corrupt duality
Like a perfect symphony and its overture
She is a mirror of dispassion and clarity
