The Court of Light Ashwinder Kaur There reigns Silence and Submission When we place our 'self' before Him. In the Court of His Brilliant Poesy Is Exhilaration and Love filled to the rim. It lends Itself to render in speech, To a mortal, also verily to apprehend, And though like a patronising host, One accepts every created being. But to let the inherent powers of mind-body, See, hear and feel His presence, To Love and to show compassion, To every being, is the True Saga of Love ! Love is to Cherish, and Love is Worship, Love is Solace and Surrendering too. A Yearning which never lets the mortal down, A Passion dissolving every failing. "Sehaj Paath" of Guru Granth endows, Great Elation and Equipoise to one, With a Pure Heart, Steeped in Love. It is the Light that Decimates, all Want, when in earnest done ! So Gather Ye the Effulgence, That the reverant Light may reside within. That the Heart, Mind and the "Self" Be Attuned to "see" the Omniscient One!! |
