C. P. Sharma - Self-realization

As clouds of glory we do come

From God who is our real home.

Attached to karmas we descend,

By their riddance we can ascend,



Our karmas 1 to world in threefold bind:

Accumulated karmas to world rewind,

In planned karmas new birth we find,

The destined karmas follow as blind.


Let karmas your soul unwind,

Then only your salvation find.

As first step yourself detach,

To this world do not attach.


As second step know thyself,

Rise above the power and pelf.

Consider the gold as dust,

In yourself create the trust.


Submit ego unto the lord,

On the divine boat board.

Only on ONE meditate,

Your trust in Him create.


Rise above this body,

Get rid of music shoddy,

Give ears to His melody,

The world is His parody.


Go slow step by step,

Never try to overstep,

Let Guru 2 be your guard,

Give him your kind regard.


Inspired by the message of Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati: Sadhana Panchaka (Five Verses on Spiritual Practice) : PART-V dated Octobe 22,2007 on sant_santati


1 Actions arising out of the desires and cravings that condition the mind.

2 The teacher, the guide who is our friend and the philosopher.
