| Chapter 16 : Atma-Shakti (Spiritual strength) |
LAV
AND KUSH:
Mother! What is soul?
What is spiritual strength? How can one attain it?
|| Soul ||
SITA:
Know that the Soul is divine
It takes bodily forms of many a beauty It is the body, which perishes
But the soul merges into infinity.
|| Yearning ||
SITA:
A large mango tree hides in a small seed,
Infinite knowledge in the soul is concealed,
When it rains, the seedling sprouts,
When one yearns, knowledge is revealed.
|| Introspection
||
SITA:
When the larva encapsulates,
Emerges a pretty butterfly,
When one introspects,
Knowledge flowers profusely.
|| Spiritual Strength
||
SITA:
God has given you spiritual strength,
Use it to serve Him every day,
By helping all beings,
In the most modest way.
