The lessons are there
For the children to learn
Valuable information is present
So they can travel far and earn
The teachers are there
To give them guidance and protection
Along with clarity and a vision
And a sense of direction

It is prolific
One who always writes so much
One who reads for understanding
In order to stay in touch
It is a nuance
A shade of meaning
One who educates themselves
In order to promote a good feeling

It all starts with one step
Continue to climb higher
Aspire yourself to greater heights
Show them that you have that fire
Just keep at it
Continue to be the inspiration
Always elevate yourself accordingly
In order to enlighten the sensation

We all want to be Happy
We pray to God for bliss
But where does God truly live
This point we sadly miss

God is not on a distant planet
In heaven above the skies
The power within that makes our heartbeat
Is where God truly lies

When there is a problem that we cannot solve
We go to God and cry
Make me Happy, my dear Lord!
We beg as we question why

We know that God can do anything
He made Heaven and earth
He is the giver of Happiness
The one who gave us birth

But still, we look for Happiness
Desiring this and wanting that
Sometimes our wishes are fulfilled
Otherwise, we become sad

And so do we live until we die
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
We miss to discover a simple secret
God is the source of Joy

Instead of seeking God within
We are searching for Happiness!
Of course, we become happy at times
But the source of Joy we miss

If only we change our search for God
And look for Him within We will have
everlasting Joy and Peace And a
Blissful life will begin

But we don't know who God
truly is In fear, we bow our head
Instead of loving the Lord within
We suffer until we are dead

We don't discover this Truth That
GOD = Happiness We are looking
for joy in so many places
But within ourselves we miss

We are not body, we are not mind
This Truth we must realize
We are in fact God energy
To this Truth we must rise

Once we are conscious that God
lives within We will suffer no more
The giver of Happiness is part of us
This Truth will make us glow

Instead of seeking Happiness
It's God we must search and
And once we realize the Truth,
behold There will be joy and peace in our mind

But we don't know who God truly is
We all believe in the myth
We don't discover that God lives within
We fail to reach the zenith

'God = Happiness' is a secret
We must discern and know
Then we will discover true bliss and joy
As our bond with God will grow

If you want to be truly Happy
Then don't seek joy and bliss
Realize and God within
For that's where is Happiness

Always climb that ladder
And continue to make progress
Strength comes from within
Believe in yourself and do your best
Put your heart into everything
Always empower your soul
Elevate yourself a great deal
And soar towards your goal

One moment the waters are calm
And the next, you are weathering the storm
The unpredictability of life
May differ from the norm
Another moment you may see darkness
And the next, the sun will shine
It is up to you to push those clouds away
In order to keep everything in line

The night is benign

As long as Hari is with me

A Thousand eyes fill the firmament

With iridescent gaze

Silvers splashes

across my pillow

He comes to me with

wings of the morning

Sunlight in his eyes

I awake to love



Dawn rises in Krishna's eyes

Hear the celestial Conch

I awake to love



The Splendor of His breath

Fulfills me

a glittering star

I awake to love

Knowledge is always there
Just reach out and grab it
Continue to enrich your mind
Elevate yourself bit by bit
Always believe that you can
Build strength and vitality
Hope is always there
Reach for your victory
