Am I Materially Engrossed?

I often feel contended to evaluate my material detachments.

But, how easily a latest mobile or a laptop entices me,

still remains a matter of dissatisfaction.

 

The outdated vehicle propels me

to launch an exhaustive search for the best model,

still I claim to be away from these attachments.

 

My social service is often with a view

to reap the benefits in next births

this barter system obscures my view.

 

This introspection always reminds me

there still is a long way to go

to reach at least the tip of that transcendental toe.

    our way is not detachment, Prabhu,

    'cause there is nothing to be detached from You.

    even You Yourself belong to Hari,

    what to say of that new technology?

    seeing a money on the ground

    robber will take and use for own need

    fullish crosses and says:

    let the treasure on the place lies!

    but intelligent and wise,

    will pick up and to the owner brings.

    we are also trying everything to use,

    For Krishna and Him only to please.
