Heavenly Food For Immortal Souls

a poem by Benna Rao Goli

My heart filled with sin and filth,
With busy schedule of evil deeds;
Him inflicting further injuries, lacking faith,
Craving and striving for worldly needs;

Resulting- felt no soul’s appetite,
For heavenly food, as evil I invite;
I’m not able to withstand evil,
In course of time I understood His will.

Increased, He, my soul’s hunger,
Filled my heart with great splendour;
Nourishing my soul with heavenly food,
Strengthening in me, the brotherhood.

It’s true, no soul can survive,
Without heavenly food, life to revive;
With it, darkness can be put to flight,
Bringing in every soul His delight.
