The Gift

If you would have it so,
I will end my singing.

If it sets your heart aflutter,
I will take away my eyes from your face.

If it suddenly startles you in your walk,
I will step aside and take another path.

If it confuses you in your flower-weaving,
I will shun your lonely garden.

If it makes the water wanton and wild,
I will not row my boat by your bank.



- Rabindranath Tagore (1913-1941)

Cradle Song

From groves of spice,
O'er fields of rice,
Athwart the lotus-stream,
I bring for you,
Aglint with dew,
A little lovely dream.

Sweet, shut your eyes,
The wild fire-flies
Dance through the fairy neem;
From the poppy-bole
For you I stole
A little lovely dream.

Dear eyes, good night,
In golden light
The stars around you gleam;
On you I Press
With soft caress
A little lovely dream.



- Sarojini Naidu (1879 - 1949)

Flower

Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.

I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.

Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.



- Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941)

The Snake Charmer

Whither dost thou hide from the magic of my flute-call?
In what moonlight-tangled meshes of perfume,
Where the clustering keovas guard the squirrel's slumber,
Where the deep woods glimmer with the jasmine's bloom?

I'll feed thee, O beloved, on milk and wild red honey,
I'll bear thee in a basket of rushes, green and white,
To a palace-bower where golden-vested maidens
Thread with mellow laughter the petals of delight.

Whither dost thou loiter, by what murmuring hollows,
Where oleanders scatter their ambrosial fire?
Come, thou subtle bride of my mellifluous wooing,
Come, thou silver-breasted moonbeam of desire!



- Sarojini Naidu (1879 - 1949)

Ant: Glory 

Ant, my ant,
In you my heart beholds
The glory of the Supreme.
Tiniest in size, you house the dream
Of the Omnipotent.
To me you are extremely important,
Because you represent
One extremity of God,
His message of smallness;
In another word, His greatness.



- Sri Chinmoy

A Child's Imagination

O thou golden image,
Miniature of bliss,
Speaking sweetly, speaking meetly!
Every word deserves a kiss.

Strange, remote and splendid
Childhood's fancy pure
Thrills to thoughts we cannot fathom,
Quick felicities obscure.

When the eyes grown solemn
Laughter fades away,
Nature of her mighty childhood
Recollects the Titan play;

Woodlands touched by sunlight
Where the elves abode,
Giant meetings,Titan greetings,
Fancies of a youthful God.

These are coming on thee
In thy secret thought;
God remembers in thy bosom
All the wonders that He wrought.



- Sri Aurobindo

Here is an inspirational poem for all of you…

Do it Now!

If you have hard work to do,
Do it now,
Today the skies are clear and blue,
Tomorrow clouds may come in view.
Yesterday is not for you;
Do it now.

If you have a song to sing,
Sing it now,
Let the tones of gladness ring
Clear as song of bird in spring,
Let each day some music bring;
Sing it now.

If you have some kind words to say,
Say them now.
Tomorrow may not come your way;
Do a kindness while you may,
Loved ones will not always stay;
Say them now.

If you have a smile to show,
Show it now.
Make hearts happy, roses grow,
Let the friends around you know
The love you have before they go;
Show it now.

[Ramesh Ramnani]

जय सांई राम।।।

Ek andhera lakh sitare,
Ek nirasha lakh sahare
Sabse badi saugaat hai jeevan,
Nadaan hai jo jeevan se hare

एक अन्धेरा लाख सितारे,
एक निराशा लाख सहारे,
सबसे बड़ी सौगात है जीवन,
नादान है जो जीवन से हारे,

Duniya ki yeh bagiya aisi ,
Jitney kaante phool bhi utne
Daaman mai khud aa jayenge,
Jinki taraf tu haath pasaare;

दुनियां की ये बगिया ऐसी
जितने कांटे फूल भी उतने,
दामन में खुद आ जाएंगे
जिनकी तरफ तू हाथ पसारे

Beete huey kal ki khatir tu
Aane wala kal mat khona
Jaane kaun kahan se aaker,
Raahein teri fir se saanvare

बीते हु्ए कल की खातिर तू
आने वाला कल मत खोना
जाने कौन कंहा से आकर
रांहें तेरी फिर से संवारे

Dukh se agar pahchan na ho tou,
Kaisa such aur kaisi khushiyan
Tufanon se hi tou ladker,
Lagte hain sahil kitne pyare

दुख से अगर पहचान ना हो तो
कैसा सच और कैसी खुशियां
तूफान से ही तो लड़कर
लगते है साहिल कितने प्यारे।
 
Ek andhera lakh sitare,
Ek nirasha lakh sahare
Sabse badi saugaat hai jeevan,
Nadaan hai jo jeevan se hare

एक अन्धेरा लाख सितारे
एक निराशा लाख सहारे,
सबसे बड़ी सौगात है जीवन,
नादान है जो जीवन से हारे,

अपना सांई प्यारा सांई सबसे न्यारा अपना सांई।
ॐ सांई राम।।।

Determination

Determination, determination
What is it? Who has it?
You have it and you know it
You’ve had it all the time
You’ve worked hard with it

It helped you further and further
But your determination gave you support
through all these hard times
It helped you once and
It always will, too

You tried and tried, and did it
You work harder and harder and you get better
You swim and swim with self-confidence
You go on and on till you reach your goal
We all are waiting for you till you come

You swim on and on till you succeed
But now we need to wait no longer
You have come, and you have won but
You are always our idol
Because of your determination.
