Who are you?
Or who am I?
Who’s my mother?
Or who’s my father?
Where do I come from?
In this world a fruitless dream,
Give up your wants material,
And go in the path spiritual.
Disciple Medhaatithira sang:
In everything, in me, in you
Lives none but the same Vishnu,
Your anger or impatience
Is, therefore, meaningless.
If you really wish to attain
The spirit of Vishnu soon
Think alike every creation
That has God’s sanction.
Medhaatithira sang again:
All efforts, why you waste
To win the love or hate
Of friends or foes,
Of children or relatives.
See them all as one.
Duality remains not then.
Thus you’ll really win.
Everything under the sun.
Disciple Bharativamsha sang:
Give up your lust or anger.
Greed or infatuation will no longer
Keep you happy anywhere,
They’re not your real nature.
Fools are they who’re blind
To the Self, and are left behind
To lead a life aimlessly,
And suffer in hell endlessly.
Disciple Sumatira sang:
Recite from Gita regularly
Meditate on Vishnu sincerely.
Chant His thousand glories.
Keep in mind His qualities.
Be happy in the company
Of the noble and the holy,
And distribute to the needy
Your wealth in charity.
Rajaram Ramachandran
