The Siddha Elite (7/10)

Is there a fool like me among men or women
In all this world?
I have not controlled even for a second my thoughts
Which spin like a top incessant.
With thoughts for none but Divine Grace,
With mouth shut, eyes closed, breath controlled,
I have not sought to rouse the kundalinin
To reach the kala of mystic moon within.

What I have learnt from what I have heard all these days,
I have let them take their own course of flight
And have become a man of this illusory world.

That I, so low, worse than a cur
May not aimless wander further,
Do Thou appear
Visible as the beacon light on hilltop!
Oh! Thou, the Siddha Elite of Divine Light
That hath reached the Vedanta-Siddhanta accord high!
