In the Cosmic Classroom

In the Cosmic Classroom,
It is Graduation day for all of us,
From being little saplings under the Evergreen Tree…
…coming into our own as a shade giving tree,
From a mere fledgling, to a bird that can fly on its own,
For the Beloved Master taught us how to fly…
…and is always the Wind beneath our wings…
From the cocoon emerges a butterfly flying free…
…its colours shining bright…
…bringing hope and cheer to innumerable many.

Let us pledge to be that drop of water…
…from the Ocean of Consciousness…
…that quenches the thirst of countless many…
…immensely…harmoniously.

Let us be that flower from the garden Divine…
…tended to and nurtured by the Master Himself…
…now to exude His Fragrance everywhere…
…an illustration extraordinaire.

Let us be that star in His Firmament…
…that shines the brightest for Him…
…eliminating darkness bringing light…
…representing a celestial synonym…

Let us be light houses of peace and beacons of love…
…bringing harmony wherever we go…
Let us sing His glory and be His reflection each step of the way…
…each moment of every day…

Let us be that candle that diffuses the shadows of pessimism…
…with radiant rays of steadfast optimism…

Let us be confident of His Presence,
And,
Let our lives ring out His Message…
…that exudes –
Sathya, Dharma, Prema, Shanti and Ahimsa…
…in thought, word and deed…
…indeed…

Let us surge forward willing instruments selected by Him,
To selflessly serve Him in all that we see…
…knowing that Beloved Bhagawan dwells…
…in the animate and the inanimate,
Every atom in the Cosmos,
His Essence does pervade and permeate…

Let us Help Ever, Hurt Never,
Love All, Serve All…
…all creatures both great and small…

Let us build bridges not walls,
Heralding a Cosmic Brotherhood…
…our attitude in harmony suffused…
…gratitude into infinitude…

Let consciousness expand,
Compassion increase,
Let us breathe empower and envision –
Care for life, concern for nature…
…respect and reverence for all beings…
…in all of creation…

Let Samastha Lokaah Sukhino Bhavantu,
Become a way of life,
Echoing forth in all that we see, hear, speak and do…
Our character, outlook and belief,
Let it energise, synchronize, harmonize,
Let us live to please the Beloved One and never to let Him down,
Let us release the shackles that do us bound,
Will we ever get such a Master,
…the blessing…the grace…
…oh, such a magnanimous boon…
Are we ready then…
…to graduate from the Cosmic Classroom?
