Ways of God
He undertakes so many difficulties just to catch our attention
Millions of years he remained as a rock just for
Getting a form for us to worship
He bears the brunt of chisels and hammers just to
Make us know his grace in a form
He gets tied and dragged in processions just to
Make us know his compassion for us
He tolerates all abuses and suspicions just to
Make us know his patience for our wrongs
He bears all the troubles and turbulences just to
Shield the people against calamities
He stands like a page for his own creations just to
Make us know how humble he can be
His forgets his status and strains just to
Make us know how great he yearns for our love
He loves saints most just to
Make us know they only realize him
When even his small glance can erase evils and dangers
What to say of ever emanating grace from him

An accolade to my Master
An accolade to my Master
Who is brave?
Is he the one who fights with others?
Nay
Is he the one who is cruel?
Nay
Is he the one who causes bloodsheds?
Nay
Is he the one whose heart is merciless?
Nay
Is he the one who is selfish?.
Nay
Is he the one who exhibits anger?
Nay
Is he the one who asserts superiority?
Nay
Is he the one who runs after accomplishments?
Nay
Is he the one who is reckless?
Nay
RATHER the one
Who is selfless is brave
Who loves peace is brave
Who loves his country is brave
Who vouchsafes for safety of all is brave
Who shows kindness is brave
Who sows the seeds of love is brave
Who sees divine play in everything is brave
Who loves even those who consider him as enemy is brave
Who sacrifices for annihilating the sufferings of others is brave
Who adapts with unsought situations for larger interest is brave
Who places his interests subservient to societal interests is brave
Who takes so little for himself and gives so much for others is brave
And
Truly brave are truly divine too
I feel blessed I am in the protective ring of a truly brave Master!!!
Radhe Radhe
Jai Gurudev
