O Saarathi...

a guru
a guide
a mentor
what should i call you?

Beloved
you have nourished my soul
sweeping away
the termites
settled in the creaks
of my ether
for centuries

Guru
u haven't given me
but showed me
gyana
and that is all
that is there
to giving it

Mitra
u have stood
observing
all my moods
absorbing
my emotions
and patting
my ever weak shoulders
and so
they stood erect
to the test of time

Mantri
like a mentor
you've directed
me
into
the chosen path
even when i forgot
my soul's
destined reason

and O father
you have
let me
make my own
mistakes

And O Mother
when i came home
beaten, crying
you have
clasped me
in your arms
held me
to your chest
till my agony
vanished
and
in sublime surrender
i slept

Narayana
you have realised
in me
the nara

And

O Arjuna
my being
my completion
my creator
my creation
you are me
and i am nothing
but you..

- Arjuna
