The Spirit

a poem by Devi Nangrani

For whose company does the soul descend?
On this earth in every birth?
And still leap from the hearth
To the funeral pyre
When the inner flame leaves the mortal frame?
Who comes here?
For whose company, who knows?
Yes! Knows he, only the “Nameless HE”
‘Self born’ but never forlorn:
Because of his Evolution, his Leela
Creates a wonderful revolution, his consort ‘Maya’.
The only company is ‘He’
The Eternal Symphony to all life.
The sixth sense is only to know
This sweet essence in this worldly strife
In fire or mire, on earth or heaven,
He is all in all.
