Nurturing the sacred seed

O Chosen one, you chose me among the others, to walk the path.

Lay deep within me, the sacred seed that you did sow

Nurturing the sacred seed with deep longing for enlightenment is pain indeed,

even on realizing, to shred the mortal and to see the path of light.

Spread thy grace for the seed to sprout.

Shambo……………….!
