Release
On attaining all of desire,
Getting shackled of the fire
Realised nothing mere pain,
Everything of the world
Nothing but vain!
Thoughts so selfish
Rushing to gain,
Day and night
Might and main.
Was the world all I needed?
Or the truth, I should have heeded?
Heading towards the origin
With passing the season,
Realised mere pain
Everything of the world
Nothing but vain!
Heart wrenches
Beneath the transgress
Of the gone, falling from grace.
Guilt, remorse and repentance
Prayers, expiation and quittance,
Suddenly shook by the gust of awakening.
Realised mere pain
Everything of the world
Nothing but vain!
All illusion, name, fame and opulence
True but virtues, faith and providence.
All that exists belongs to Him
Alpha is Him Infinity is Him.
