I BOW TO HIM

I bow to Him whose fateful will
Sends pulsing through the universe
Life’s hellish woe and heavenly thrill,
Its mingled prose and tuneful verse.

I bow to Him whose radiance bright
Lends glory to the sun and skies,
And lights in souls Thought’s heavenly light,
And gives perceptive power to eyes.

I bow to Him whose boundless love
Makes Him incarnate on our sphere
To lead us to His realm above
The bourne of Time’s revolving year.

I bow to Him whose mercy sweet
Uprises fountain-like through seas
Of sin and flows unto the seat
Of Beauty, Love, Joy, Wisdom, Peace.

This poem was written by Shri K.S.Ramaswami Sastri, B.A., B.L., and was published in Vedanta Kesari magazine in Oct 1915. This is a Sri Ramakrishna Mutt publication. Apparently this poem was sung in praise of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. This is equally applicable to our Acharyas as well. Sri Gurubhyo Nama:.
