The Purpose of our Life is Enlightenment
But we are all trapped in Achievement
We run a race trying to be an ace
Lost in this maze, we don't live with grace
And all we end up is with entertainment

What is Enlightenment, this Truth, do we know?
It is overcoming Ignorance within, a spark is lit, aglow
It is overcoming the lie that God lives in the sky
Going on a Quest, Realizing, 'Who am 'I''
And ultimately, being free from this show

Many of us ask the question, 'Why be Enlightened?'
To be Spiritually Awakened, we are frightened!
We live and die, we don't find out, 'Who am 'I'?'
We look at the sky and cry and ask, 'Why?'
And get caught in Roadblocks and don't get Awakened

What are the Roadblocks that lock the door?
There are many fetters, more and more
Ignorance and desires, the Ego and the Mind
Achievement and Attachment leave us far behind
Let us discover the Roadblocks, twenty-four

Ignorance is a Roadblock caused by the Mind
We can't see Enlightenment, we become blind!
We want Enlightenment but we are in doubt
We need to remove these, throw them out
When we clear these blocks, the Goal, we will find!

Desires make us burn, desires create greed
We don't get Enlightened, fulfilled in our need
We run after Achievement, seeking Success
We don't get Enlightened, we land up in a mess!
But when we clear the roadblocks, we find Happpiness!

What is Attachment? It is clinging
It is the cause of all suffering
All this is caused by the rascal, the Mind
**** the Mind or you will be dead, you'll find!
We must clear these Roadblocks for our Awakening

Enlighten the Ego that stands tall as a wall
We can't Awaken unless the Ego has a fall
The Body too blocks us with the senses, five
In desires and passions, we sink as we dive
To be Enlightened, we must remove Roadblocks, all

Then, relationships stop us, our own dear people
They create limitations, they make us feeble
In this Samsara, we are lost, we sink
The world makes us weak, we think and we blink!
We don't reach the peak, we are stopped at the steeple

Responsibilities limit us, yes, our worldly duty
It stops us from Enlightenment, the real beauty
With passion we live, we are caught in lust
We must remove this, it is a must
Otherwise, we'll suffer and not realize that we are Divinity

Many of us are caught in shame
Living in regret, we lose the game
We don't understand Maya, it's a Cosmic Illusion
Nothing is real, we are lost in the confusion
To clear all these Roadblocks, must be our aim

This world is a Leela, it's a Divine Show
We are just actors, we come and we go
We are afraid to be Awakened, we live with fear
We miss the Bliss, the cheer that is so near
Clearing the roadblocks, we must grow

Sometimes knowledge becomes a limitation
Too much of it, stops our Realization
We pray to God and believe in our Religion
But Religion can never lead to God-Realization
When will we be free from these and have Illumination?


Everything in Life is Karma, the Law of Action
We get trapped in our Action and Reaction
Instead of having Love and Longing for God
We get stuck and go far from our Lord
We must clear Roadblocks and reach our Destination

To be Enlightened, we need a Guru, a Master
Without a Guru, Life is a disaster!
Another Roadblock in our Life is our Priority
We seek the material world and lose our Tranquillity
If we remove these Roadblocks, we will get there faster

Many of us are unaware of Enlightenment
This becomes the Roadblock, we are stuck in Achievement
We have everything, then why be Enlightened?
This is a roadblock that stops us from being Awakened
What a pity, this is such an embarrassment

We have listed Roadblocks, twenty-four
What these do, they lock the door
We must clear them, one by one
Then, the war of Enlightenment will be won
Discover that Life is more than what we know

The Journey of Life is all about Enlightenment
It's not about achieving Success, living in Achievement
Unless the Roadblocks, we wipe out and clear
To attain God, we will not even get near
And we will miss living a Life of Fulfillment!
