Karma Yoga


Discourses and lectures
By sadhu sants and enlightened
Sessions of debates ,discussions
Attended them all
Seeking the meaning
With a fervor to know
Comparing notes
Realisations
More  realisations
Sorry? Can't figure out?
Frustrated, wondered
Where is the crux?
Musing on a midsummer morn
No sessions today?
Mother.
Mother. stop look listen
Mother.. watch her observe her
An inner voice.
Day after day
Never did we ever thank her
Never did we ever praise her
Never did we ever wonder about her
And yet.. she was there.
Always.. by our side.
Always ready to sacrifice
Even the regular square meal
Good clothes or luxuries
Postponement was her plan
Just for us
Love was her language
Kindness was her nature
Guidance was her goal
Enlightenment at last
Nishkamkarma yoga
Found in mother
A karmayogi.
