UPRIGHT AND WATCHFUL
Yes, hatred and enmity Often spoil our life’s serenity, As deceptive as a mirage Our insight, they mismanage. But, love uproots the weeds Inspires us to do good deeds; Through the fountain of grace It showers the petals of peace. With ever-new contentment It thrills with lovely attachments, It snaps vexation and sorrows Lays a path to tread tomorrow. Unconditional love enlightens us It confers us with everlasting bliss, It connects the mind and the soul Alerts us to be upright and watchful. Unconditional love is a gift, virtuous Guides us to the path, prosperous, Fickle mind and the flow of desires Slowly decline and serenity appears. | 32
