With "pranaam’ to Shri Mataji.
My humble dedication
To FIVE elements;
In their order:
Void
Silence expanding, shrinking
echoes perpetuating, destroying
cyclical energy knowing, unknowing
limits set nevertheless
the indefinable domain
filled in the psyches of the mortals —
to get us back into its bliss.
Fire
That which lights our spirits
secures the egos, paves the way
for rightful use of our livings
creates passion, nourishes the body
concerns with health and glory
the source/use of our senses —
takes us back to the void.
Air
Atmosphere within, without
puts life in breath
smelt of love, emotion
creates mountains, storms
took shape by the will
aid every use possible —
finally takes us to the ether.
Water
The elixir supreme in all forms
all encompassed. Encompassing,
the medium unseen had created in a fit
through which we arose
takes away the impurities
cherishes and absolves our souls —
leaves us in the end, sadly though.
Earth
Terra firma attracts all things
with gravity, the attachment
called our homes on its thin layer
on which God once walked once
helped sprout many a holy soul
the playground, the passing station;
bids adieu in a great shattering —
consummating a blissful life.
