Oh! 2018…What Manifestations Will You Be Revealing…
Sunday, December 31st, 2017
When 2017 transcended quietly into 2018, it turned out to be an occasion for renewed hopes and renovated ambitions, all for a good cause, to see the world around in real ‘Sai-Fold’ practising Him…following Him…making it a haven of supreme peace…What Manifestations will you be revealing…? Will you make my heart once again… …with incomparable, unsurpassable joy eternally sing…? asks Sri Jullie Chaudhuri, welcoming the New…
The hours and minutes were swiftly ticking by,
As i sat in silence deep…
…sweet memories were a delightful ally…
Intensely immersed in the reminiscence of Sai,
My Beloved Sai…
I heard a sound…
…it arose from within…
…and reverberated all around,
Ah! So sweet a music can only belong…
…to the echo of the Cosmic Song,
The hum that became the cause of creation…
What was it trying to announce…?
What events was it venturing to pronounce…?
The moment passed…gliding into a New Year,
2017 had bowed out,
Now,
This fresh melody exuding heavenly hues…
…continued on to endear…
Just what did it augur…?
A subtle acoustic,
Holding within it all that was aesthetic, dynamic…
…vedic, mystic…
…psychic…as well as karmic…
Sometimes drowned in the material lyric…
…yet the resonance was available for all –
The young, old, rich or poor…
…beings living in the air, land or those aquatic…
…the ascetic…the critic as well as the skeptic…
Oh! 2018…what do you hold within…?
What Manifestations will you be revealing?
Will Dharma come to the fore?
Will Prema fill each heart and brim from the core?
Will there be blessings galore…?
Taking a cue from Mother Nature…
…from the rays of the Sun…
…from that incessant giving that seeks no return…
…an eternal bounty available to all sans differentiation…
Will the human race finally begin to live up to the word human…?
Will humankind rise up to be kind…
…radiating unique sharing, care and concern…
…kindred harmony and harmonious compassion…?
Of Shanti…tolerance…equity…
…kindred harmony…
…of Ahimsa will there be a sharp ascent…?
Will the Supreme Source mercifully relent…?
Of Truth will you bring forth a much awaited Advent?
Oh! 2018…What glorious and joyous surprises will you spring…?
Will Earth witness an elevated swing…?
Will there be a much required reigning in…
…a refinement…a fine tuning of the masses…
…that have been oh, so offensively erring…?
Will my soul receive its most cherished craving…?
Upon my fate…the kismet of creation too…
…what wondrous lines will you be drawing…?
With what enchantments will you be…
…my aura bedecking…?
My entire faith i place upon you…Oh! 2018…
What Manifestations will you be revealing…?
Will you make my heart once again…
…with incomparable, unsurpassable joy eternally sing…?
