Grievances

Alas, alas, alas!
Grievances reign supreme in my life.
I have a grievance
Against my ignorance-night.
I have a grievance
Against my darkness-depth.
I have a grievance
Against my illusion-life.
I have a grievance
Against my frustration-body.
I have a grievance
Against my aggression-vital.
I have a grievance
Against my confusion-mind.
I have a grievance
Against my hesitation-heart.
I have a grievance
Against the idleness-promises
Of my soul.
I have a grievance
Against the fruitlessness-dreams
Of my Beloved Supreme.

Alas, alas, alas!
O my Beloved Supreme,
Do tell me how I can free myself
From the tyranny of grievances.
"My child,
You can free yourself
From the tyranny of grievances
If you can once and for all feel
That we all love you —
Your body, vital, mind, heart, soul
And I love you.
It is your feeling of conscious oneness
With us
That can easily free you
From your teeming grievances against us.
Try, My child, try;
You will succeed.
Yours will be the abiding peace,
Illumining light,
Nourishing delight
    And
Fulfilling satisfaction."
