Let Us Strive Poem by Ranadeb Bhattacharya

Let us to the jungle of silence retreat,
Into the farthest depth of our potent minds
Let the legions of chaos and ignorance,
Become prisoners’ mere, of supreme reason.

Fearless and bold we must strive,
With unflinching courage resume our fight,
To break the shackles of rot and filth,
That enslaves us to little things.

Through weakness our heart endears,
To dullness and the isles of fear,
The fire of will melts into despair,
Till we become nameless shadows of night.

So, raise in unison the towering Phoenix,
Numbered are the days of slumber,
We are the vastness and the infinite,
We shall remain after the end of time.

Shake away all delusions,
We are born of eternity and are all eternal,
In this plane we must come,
A sweet sojourn before the endless search resumes.

The search for the radiant One,
The deepest and the greatest source,
Of all permeating Life’s endless force.
The safe refuge of our pursuant souls.
