      THE RETURN JOURNEY

My Father!
I do not know
How and why I came here?
Probably it is thy will for which I am here 
But instead of watching your drama
Like a silent none possessive, 
Unassuming spectator 
Became an actor, a part of the drama
Considered myself to be the hero
Around whom the world revolved 
I became a playwright 
Did my own screenplay
Composed my own lyrics 
Sung my own songs 
Thought the world around to be exclusively mine.

My Lord!
I acted as if I was the doer
I became the centre 
You left my hands, silently disappeared 
I became the prisoner of my own actions 
No way I could escape from
My karmic debts and deposits 
I created that bondage for me
Enjoyed and endured the fruits of my actions.

My Father!
Bondage I need no more 
In the journey of life
This is my return journey
Let the 'I' in me
My body, mind, possessions 
Actions and fruits of actions be 
At your lotus feet 
Let my eyes see you only
My ears listen to your divine melody 
My senses perceive nothing but you only
With my tired limbs and mind
Have to go miles till I reach 
Help me, my father! I can carry myself 
To the destination 
I know nothing, actions, fruits of actions
Debts and deposits 
Knowledge and devotion 
Dualism, non-dualism and qualified non-dualism 
I know one thing only
I have nothing\none with me 
Except You, my father
I know you can not leave me in the mid-sea 
You will bring me safely ashore 
If my love is genuine 
Ensure my surrender, make it complete 
Ensure! my mind never moves away even for a fraction of a second  from your lotus feet 
Be with me my father
Heaven or hell, do not matter 
I know my father is with me forever 
Here and hereafter.
