WE MUST
WE MUST
We must hear all the words of Prabhupada,
to fully understand every thing,
from the unalloyed and pure Servant of God,
how to live our real life,by pleasing the Supreme.
We must re-establish the real mission,
of our constitutional position,
to spread the glories of Lord Krishna,
and His Servants through out existence..
We must awaken our spiritual fire,
to forever raise our selves higher,
to please the One we all require,
Who alone fulfills every desire...
We must hear the Names of Krishna,
Who eternally resides with in us,
intensely beckoning for our attention,
to chant His Holy Names and listen..
We must arise from our deep sleep,
to realise all the suffering we reap,
from this ignorance we try to keep,
not knowing just how we cheat,
our very eternal spiritual life,
and all our family left and right,
we don't know how we bury the light,
which reveals God's most precious sight..
We must know how what we are doing,
is only leading to our own ruin,
we must know just where we are going,
we must know what is worth knowing..
These bags of flesh and bones,
under material nature's control,
now mislead our eternal souls,
for our higher nature,we do not know..
We must know our real higher nature,
by knowing our Supreme Creator,
for now to ourselves we are a traitor
in fact to our real love,we are a hater..
The fact is we have all gone insane,
having forgotten life's only aim,
and with no love for God's Holy Name,
we chase after but dreams and in vain.
The Truth for saints is pure nectar,
but most are not even a respecter,
of the only means to get God's protection,
to heal our deadly material affection..
So Lord Chaitanya screams,
please awaken from your dreams,
nothing is what it seems,
we are eternal living beings..
We must heed the cry of Gaura Nitai,
and try to return to the spiritual sky,
because we never ever really die,
and we know not where our soul does fly.
And the only powerful solution,
to leave our dreadful illusion,
is to accept Shri Krishna's conclusion
and not wait till there is no choosing.
Right now we have a choice,
right now we have a voice,
let's make a holy noise,
and in God's Holy Names just rejoice.
We know not the time shall come,
and choice,we shall have none,
while as helpless creatures we run,
forced to accept our fate every one..
So why take this horrendous risk?
why not accept just transcendental bliss?
and follow the path of the pure saints,
by just embracing God's Holy Names..
Please now meditate on this,
while as humans you still exist,
and have the free will to do what is right,
and step out of the darkness into the light.
Real light doth shine forever,
and alone can bring us together,
to realise we are all spiritual brethren,
and our home is beyond even heaven.
Real light is the words that I speak,
for it is God,I only repeat,
to just walk on the safe happy street,
and on your tongues,
God's gift please keep.
Krishna's greatest gift of all,
is His Holy Names to call,
to pick up all who did fall,
to just have a joyful ball..
We are meant just for wisdom,
we are meant just for bliss,
to just chant Hare Krishna,
to know Krishna consciousness..
We must know what is pure,
we must know what is not,
we must know our shelters for sure,
Krishna's Servants and Krishna,God..
We will not be cheated,
if all we want is to know God,
and I promise all cheaters are defeated,
by God's Servant, Shrila Prabhupada..
But if you are not careful,
by a careful study of the Bhagavad-gita,
you can be fooled by a pretender,
a so called leader,yet a cheater...
And the cheaters are every where,
while God's Servant is most rare,
and the only way to find Him,
is seek with great caution and care.
First know you know nothing,
first know your a complete fool,
and to even know something,
you must find Him in Supreme rule..
For if you keep the tiniest pride,
you can judge your perfect guide,
with out scriptural authority on your side,
to only spiritual ruination you will slide..
All must be confirmed,
from those who have truly learned,
from strict obedience to God's Guru,
Who alone reveals what is true..
The path to God is narrow,
only stuck to by the greatest hero,
most rare is God's Servant indeed,
who plants in us the pure bhakti seed.
So we must not take it cheap,
when we search for our real need,
the real spiritual master that we keep,
forever by our side, by following His lead..
It is an eternal loving union,
that we are pursuing,
the only thing eternally real,
that we can eternally feel..
It is only unlimited bliss,
this Krishna consciousness,
that completely does uplift,
us from clinging to a dangerous cliff.
We know not even what it is,
till we are truly serious,
about perfecting our human life,
willing for any sacrifice...
Yet in this most degraded age,
The Lord is most merciful and kind,
knowing we are all spiritually dead,
yes, spiritually,deaf,dumb and blind.
And He just begs please chant My Names,
in this age they are the only way,
I am only repeating Holy Scripture,
and what Prabhupada has to say..
Believe in God's pure Sons,
like Prabhupada and Jesus,everyone,
God has countless pure Servants,
mentioned in shastras,by Krishna's mercy.
And this is Krishna's greatest mercy,
just chant Krishna's Holy Names,
like an infant to it's mother,
with these Holy Names,just pray...
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
If we are a little smart,
we know this world is full of danger,
and the only thing that makes sense,
is just crying out God's Names here..
All glories to Shrila Prabhupada,
for making another enlightening poem, possible,through this dog,
his begging servant...
