Who suffers in that unenviable position, perceiving his deplorable position as a conditioned soul;
Who has been shown by those Exalted Devotees, the Path to be free of shackles but,
Who lacks the courage and integrity to walk that Path;
Who has eaten of that holy Prasadam, but failed to imbibe its Goodness;
Who has partaken of that Bliss of Sankirtan, but has failed to assimilate its Glory;
Who has heard of that Dark Complexioned One, and is called by Him time and again, only to ignore His call;
Who intoxicated and bound by the charms of that Queen of Illusion, iscondemned by the very hypocrisy on which he thrives, to eternaldamnation and suffering;
Who watches, an impotent bystander, as that golden sand of Bhakti,slips between his weak, irresolute fist, to be lost forever more.
And thus, I muse, my exalted Friends, and will continue to muse, eternally so……
