Vaishnav Jana to



Vaishnava (devotees of Lord Vishnu) people are those who,
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let ego or conceit enter their mind.

Vaishnavas, respect the entire world,
Do not censure anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,
The mother of such a soul is blessed.

Vaishnavas see all equally, renounce greed and avarice,
Respect other woman as they respect their own mother,
Their tongue never utters false words,
Their hands would never touch the wealth of another.

Vaishnavas do not succumb to worldly attachments,
They are detached from worldly pleasures,
They are enticed by the name of God (Shri Ram),
All holy sites of pilgrimage are embodied within them.

Vaishnavas encompasses the absence of greed and deceit,
They have renounced all types of lust and anger,
The author of this poem would be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.

The Razor's Edge




"Rise, wake up, seek the wise and realize.


The path is difficult to cross


like the sharpened edge of the razor,


so say the wise."


(verse 1.3.14 from the Katha Upanishads)

our common doom


“The best that we can do 

is to be kindly and helpful 

toward our friends and fellow passengers 

who are clinging to the same speck of dirt 

while we are drifting side by side 

to our common doom”
