A child sleeps securely
In the darkness of its mother's womb. It is awakened rudely by its birth in this world. With its beauty of innocence, it clings to the warmth Of its mother's embrace, Looking at ther for guidance to survive in this world. The mother carries her loved one, And places it at the feet of the Lord, And prays, "O Lord, let him sleep, On the cushion of these feet. Let him awaken to the brightness of Your eyes, Let him play to the twinkle of your smile, Let him learn the lesson of love, With the musical beat of your heart, Let him sing To the beauty of Your voice that awakens, Let him complete his life in your shadow, And return to the warmth of Your embrace "The mother of mothers, My Lord." When the mother's duty itself becomes her prayer, Life becomes an offering to God. The child grows with his eyes, That are closed to the world around, Staying unaffected and protected, Today and forever, in His light. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan With every step you are nearing God, and God is simultaneously taking ten steps towards you. There is no stopping place in this pilgrimage; it is one continuous journey, through day and night; through valley and desert; through tears and smiles; through death and birth, through tomb and womb. When the road ends, and the Goal is gained, the pilgrim finds that he has traveled only himself to himself. The way was long and lonesome, but the God that it led him to, was all the way with him, in him, around him and beside him. He himself was always Divine. His yearning to merge in God was but the Sea calling to the Ocean. Man loves, because He is Love. He craves for melody and harmony because He is melody and harmony. He seeks Joy, for He is Joy. He thirsts for God, for He is composed of God and cannot exist without Him.
