If you’re a monk in a mega city
You just can’t sit there looking pretty
In the ashram there are programs on the go
That operate at a pace that is not slow
Humanity has needs you don’t want to miss
Keeping active is truly a state of pure bliss
Community interests never put you on pause
While outreach efforts are a regular, ‘cause
Mindfulness is the direction to the transcendental
Let’s be practical and deal with the dental
Some intense days you could cut with a knife
Striking that balance in the real life
Because he’s set to work, pray, dance, and sing
A monk loves life, so wouldn’t trade for anything
There is a monk principle in just everyone
Take a chunk of your life, experience the fun
I guarantee this soulful approach is for all
This ‘walk-in-the-park’ is simply Krishna’s call
– By Bhaktimarga Swami
