Amrita

Our Amrita is he who covers the scars
Of other souls even from their own sight.
He comes to us all veiled under varied forms.
In every guise his is a unique light.

Him we adore because his snow-white heart
Believes in his Ideal true, its endless range.
No sacrifice to him is ever too great
In the cause of creation's fire-pure change.

A million seekers may sit at their Master's Feet.
But Amrita's life makes Him a reality.
Compassion-Sun belongs to the Master alone.
A flame, this soulful child, through Eternity.

This kingly soul is far above the law,
Yet obeys the law to be at our hearts' doors.
Reality and Unity — his boat
Plies quick between these two supernal shores.

Delight shoots through his life because he knows
How to do good to others at each hush-gap.
His loving heart feeds not the dark despair.
He expects nothing save the Mother's Lap.
