Mukthi

When I see a rose bloom
I see its prickles too
Causal make it's by you
Parashakthi

When I see a bee there
Know sucking its honey
Will sting the rose thorny
Parashakthi

When I see a small worm
I know it'll harm the corn
Causal you made to scorn
Parashakthi

When I see a cobra
I know it has poison
Causal it has reason
Parashakthi

When I see a vulture
I see its beak and claws
Causal it's of a class
Parashakthi

When I see a tiger
I know it is hungry
Ready to pounce on me
Parashakthi

Why so this kind are these
Who can answer for these
While all act by your keys
Parashakthi

You are the sole causer
You are the sole maker
You're the only Mother
Parashakthi

How can I then oppose
Or say all I dispose
I can only propose
Parashakthi

Truth is you Oh Shakthi
All from you Oh Shakthi
You're in all Oh Shakthi
Parashkthi

I'm in you Oh Shakthi
You're in me Oh Shakthi
In one we're Oh Shakthi
Parashakthi

As Oneness is Mukthi
Bless that Oneness Shakthi
For ever Oh Shakthi
Parashakthi
