Oh Krishna, Release Me!

This poem is from a Story/Realization that I have published in my blog. The rest of the article can be found at:

In a soft, almost inaudible voice, I ask the Resident, will I ever be free of this house? Will I ever be able to leave this house and all of its kind, and go back home, to stay with Him?

I cry out to Him, ‘Release me Krishna, or I shall destroy this prison-house and myself!’

 

His gentle and compassionate voice replies:

 

Shed this weakness, my beloved friend; cast these ignoble thoughts aside,

Live thy life as per My wishes, and let My Divine Song be thy guide.

Let My service and remembrance, direct thee in every deed,

Fear not, and be steadfast, for I shall fulfil thy every need.

 

Let the sound of My holy Name, resonate in thy every room,

Its glory will truly dispel thy dark thoughts of impending doom.

No longer will this house a prison be, My temple t’will be, to the core,

For My effulgence will reign in every cell; peace and joy forever more.

 

And one day My gentle call, will fall upon thy surprised ear,

A dark shadow that is feared by most, but to thee t’will bring immense cheer.

This mortal body- thy home for decades, thou shalt leave with no regret,

For every mortal duty thou shalt have fulfilled, and the same with every debt.

 

No house will then ever confine thee, for thou shalt have finally attained Me,

With Me and My Devotees in My Abode, thou shalt reside till eternity.
