WHO IS WHO
KNOW WHO IS WHO
Know who is who,
according to the truth,
who is our Guru?
and who is a fool?
Know what is real,
a good or bad deal,
beyond what you feel,
what is eternally real?
What is pure gold?
do you really know?
who is our authority?
this we must know..
Who is divine?
and who is a swine?
this we must find,
if we belong to human kind.
Who should be our leader?
A pure saint or politician?
a true seer or cheater?
what is real cognition?
On this we must think,
who is our perfect link,
to not being jinxed,
we must rise and not sink..
What is elevation?
and what is degradation?
do we know everything?
do we know our real station?
This is human thought,
what have we got?
will it persevere?
or in time be simply lost?
Do we know where we go?
is there someone who does know?
I must know all answers,
from Whom does all flow?
Seek and ye shall find,
are the words of the divine,
you can get a spiritual guide,
who gives eternal light..
But you must be fully sincere,
to know everything clear,
the Lord of everything here,
beyond all pain and fear..
You must never give up,
till you find your supreme love,
who exists forever above,
all fools do know of..
You must know and see God,
you must know your real job,
you don't want to live like a dog,
content with all that shall rot..
This must be your only determination,
to get Lord Krishna's full grace in,
to know all you are facing,
and know you are not crazy..
We must know the meaning to life,
we must not take it as a trite,
we must know what is wrong,
and we must know what is right..
We refuse to give up the fight,
of seeing God in our sight,
and hearing His every word,
on just how to live our life..
This is the human mission,
to realise our real position,
to really hear the Names of Krishna,
and give Them our constant attention.
For Krishna says He is the Supreme Guru,
Who taught every guru the same truth,
eternally beyond maya's spoof,
that has deluded me and you..
Krishna says he does reveal Himself,
when He sends His greatest help,
to deliver us from our hell,
He sends His Servant with all to tell..
He is Shrila Prabhupada,
that was sent by Krishna or God,
to teach what all saints taught,
to find what all the sane sought..
But we must open our mind to Him,
and give up the cause of every sin,
our arrogant lowly pride,
saying life has a beginning and end.
Saying we know some thing,
when we really know nothing at all,
of how to get real happiness,
and not just forever fall...
Real sincerity is the price,
intense desire to really be wise,
and no longer live for lies,
in this fool's paradise..
And when our desire is that strong,
to just know we are not wrong,
and know where we really belong,
we will get to hear God's Song..
The Shrimad Bhagavad gita,
right from our perfect leader,
His Divine grace Prabhupada,
defeating all the cheaters..
Until then my friend,
you will just have to pretend,
that you are fully content,
with a dream that soon shall end..
I speak from sweet mercy above,
Krishna's Servant's pure love,
to reveal what we all are part of,
and where we fit like a hand in a glove..
The causeless mercy of Prabhupada,
to save us foolish dogs,
if we will simply lend our attention,
to his words which give all perfection.
Like please just chant Hare Krishna,
just chant these Holy Names of God,
where Krishna is fully present,
to stop all the tears that we sob,
by all ecstatic tears,
we have missed for millions of years,
when Krishna's Names we really hear,
we see Him and everything clear..
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
Our true Guru brightly glows,
with Krishna's love which over flows,
to fully enlighten and disclose,
what alone shall awaken our souls.
He is most rarely found,
in this world where we are drowned,
in the darkest abyss,
where bliss is ignorance...
But like the wise man said,
if we must see beyond the dead,
and go back home to Godhead,
we will not be misled....
and meet Krishna's pure Servant,
and eagerly bow to His Feet,
to hear and obey all He does impart,
to reveal Krishna in our heart and succeed.
Our real Guru is divine,
living forever through His words,
to lead all the world's lost herds,
to where Krishna's Flute is heard.
Our real Guru we always feel close,
our real Guru never goes,
as long as we are obeying Him,
we float joyfully on his boat..
Our real Guru can guide all,
who truly hear His call,
forever to not again fall,
behind maya's blinding binding wall..
Our real Guru we feel present in His Books,
which are truly living scriptures,
manifesting Lord Shri Krishna,
to any person who humbly looks..
But none of this can be known,
unless full humility is shown,
before Him alone Who takes us Home,
never more to aimlessly roam...
We must feel lower than the grass,
the most foolish ass,
to know the most ecstatic bath,
Krishna's Servant doth splash..
He is found by fullest humility,
when all we know is futility,
with our knowledge and ability,
to live our life with agility..
Krishna's Servants live always in bliss,
no matter how they appear to us,
they are not of our worlds,
ruled by anger,greed and lust..
We must never trust our eyes,
till we are self realised,
and see Krishna in the heart of all lives,
from the ant to the sage,whose all wise..
Real seeing comes from real hearing,
from a bonafide Spiritual Master,
to obey with all of our hearts,
everything He is asking...
Like a drowning man crying for air,
a true disciple listens with care,
to Krishna's Son most exalted and rare,
who sees Krishna's Form everywhere..
If we don't want to be cheated,
we need to study Krishna's Gita,
from the beginning to the end,
we must completely understand..
Just Who is who,
in this complicated zoo,
to know who is a cheater,
and who is the real Guru..
He does not want your money,
he falls not for wealth or sex,
He is always absorbed in Krishna's wish,
beyond repeated birth and death.
All he wants to do is preach,
in hopes to only reach,
our hearts to know the most sweet,
shelter of Krishna's Lotus Feet..
Where there is only peace,
and pleasure that always does increase,
where we just dance and chant and feast
beyond all suffering and disease...
He is known through the ears,
not at all through the eyes,
that is the vedic conclusion,
beyond all cheating and lies...
He just shouts the Names of Krishna,
begging all to just listen,
to the glories and Names of Krishna,
to leave the danger of material existence
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
all glories to Shrila Prabhupada for making another poem possible...
