Come & Command…
Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
Bhagawan’s promise given to Arjuna, of His Advent, everytime Righteousness takes a beating, was fulfilled with Sri Sathya Sai’s Advent…at a time when Sathya Sai chose to withdraw His form, and man finding himself at the crossroads, reaching an all time low with his inhuman acts and ways of living, don’t we need to invoke His precious presence once again to save the world? …feels so as Sri Jullie Chaudhuri writes, invoking The Lord to come and command man to mend and amend his ways…
The wrath of Mother Nature,
Is a devastating answer,
To the savage insensitive ways of humankind,
Where man has no understanding of the word ‘human’…
Innumerable innocent beings have lost their lives…
…a staggering aggregate are suffering,
Due to some who have been and still continue to be…
…wicked, mean and callously bruising…
Uttarakhand is quivering,
Under a colossally harrowing calamity,
Terrifying, distressingly dreadful and ghastly,
The pristine panorama suffers,
All due to man’s selfish follies,
A backlash of fallen degrees of human treacheries…
No ‘paschatap’…no ‘prayaschit’…through epochs… No repentance or remorse…and certainly no atonement… Villages have been wiped out, families of locals…as well as pilgrims devout, are facing a complete blackout… So many women have been widowed, so many have lost their sole breadwinner…so many lives stilled and shattered…
Countless cattle and other animals…many that ferried pilgrims, have lost their lives… Homes and businesses have perished…Some of those involved in the rescue, in sad irony…have had to bid their existence and families…an abrupt adieu…. Doesn’t their sacrifice deserve more value…than being just another ‘news item’ for me and you…paying the price…being caught in this cataclysmic milieu…?
It is time enough to think deep,
Pay appropriate attention to the karmic heap,
Each one of us is responsible,
Whether directly or indirectly…
…for all that is happening to us and around us,
Constantly…
Each time we surrender to selfish thoughts… Each time greed overtakes… Each time we yield to attachments and its onslaughts… Each time ego draws us into the tight grip of its fangs… Each time rage and revenge…raises temperatures to a million watts… Each time we submit to our senses and allow ourselves to be overpowered… Each time in fury when we do explode, Negative sentiments…do the atmosphere corrode… Merciless spite…depraved passions… Malevolent and monstrous actions… Each time we give in to anger… …we indirectly assist in ‘global warming’… Pollution…pollution…pollution… …fumes as toxic as nuclear radiations… …that attract adversity…while permanently harming the environment with negative emissions…
How much more can Mother Earth take…?
When will we realise there is so much at stake…?
When man consistently in gross insane ways,
Does ethics and principles forsake,
When derision for the rest of creation…
…irreverence of the five elements becomes a habit…
…an oft-repeated mistake…
When inconsiderate, insensate behavior…
…makes kindred spirit and compassion…
…for all forms of life opaque…
Eventually,
The wrath of Mother Nature…
…makes mankind helplessly quiver and quake…
Man through his thoughts, words and deeds has reached an all time low…an abysmal nadir…drowning in an ocean of vices that knows no shore… Only the Lord’s Presence… …can herald in a difference…
Oh! Lord, thus do I earnestly pray,
With utmost intensity,
Imploring Thee,
To Thee…I do compellingly say -
Come, sweet Lord,
Kindly hear my plea…
I seek that exceptionally extraordinary benediction…
…of Thy Divine Intervention…
Come…respond to my fervent call,
Come and save Mother Earth from this grave situation,
Once and for all,
Command man…his ways to mend and amend,
For continuously and grossly insulting…
…Irrationally overlooking…
…and breaching the laws of Nature…
Oh! Supreme Saviour,
Only Your Advent can make man ascend,
Only Your Presence can make any sense,
Sweep away ignorance…the dense pretense,
Oh! God Most High,
Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai,
I plead with Thee for Thy Ultimate Grace,
Oh! Thee with the Lotus Eyes…
…the Cause of all creation…
…the true Source of all compassion,
Come, Beloved Mother Sai,
You are our only hope,
Only You can help us cope…
Come,
And reinitiate mankind to resonate,
With all that is human…
As well as acts humanitarian,
So far have we resisted the Cosmic Plan,
Oh! Precious Lord…
…Come salvage creation from the savagery of man…
