The Law of Attraction

Does the Law of Attraction really work?

Can visualization do the trick?

Let’s look within to find the real secret

Look deeper for the truth to pick

‘Mangoes, mangoes, mangoes,’ if you dream

Will the fruit grow on the tree?

It is the seed, Oh dear, that you plant

That will grow to be, what you see

But the whole world is talking of Attraction

‘Just desire and make your dream come true’

Desire is good to start what you want

But it’s Action that is the final cue

Attraction without Action doesn’t work

Look deeper and realize the Truth

Within the word ‘AttraCTION’,

There is ‘ACTION’ in the root

For there is a Law, a Universal Law

‘As you sow, so shall you reap’

If there is Attraction and no Action

Then in the end, you will weep

Attraction and thoughts lead to feelings

But it is only when we get to work

The cycle of Achievement says

‘You need to walk, don’t just talk’

For the Law of Action never fails

What you give is what you get

What goes around comes around

It’s like a boomerang, you can bet

It’s popularly called the Law of Karma

What you do, comes back to you

Every Action, good or bad

Won’t escape, this is true

Whatever is unfolding in your life today

Is what you have done in the past

And whatever you are doing today, remember

Will return to you until your last

And when death, which for the body is certain

Happens and Karma carries on

The body dies, but the Mind and Ego

With its pending Karma is reborn

Death is not the end, but a bend

Our Karma account is not closed

Whatever is the balance in our Karmic trade

Causes the next birth to be proposed

Our birth is decided not by luck

Past Actions or Karma is the cause

Where, when, and how we are born

Is controlled by Karma without flaws

Therefore, our destiny is in our hand

It is Action that will decide what will be

We will get to that destination

Karma decides our destiny

Life is like a car on the road

The road can’t be changed, it is paved

But we have a ‘Free will’ to choose how we drive

Through this ‘Free will’, our Karma can be changed

We can go fast, we can go slow

We are free to choose what we do

Remember, as you drive your Life ahead

Is the destination you will get to

Therefore, we must do good each day

Our destiny depends on our deeds

Just like the fruits in our garden, without doubt

Don’t depend on luck, but on the seeds

Whatever we do, doesn’t get washed away

It remains in our account, even after death

Life after Life, the score goes on

And is counted in every breath

But whoever is born in this world must cry

The Enlightened Buddha declared after his quest

‘Dukkha or suffering is experienced by all

No one can escape this test’

We all experience the triple suffering

The suffering of body, ego, and mind

As long as we have Karma, we will be born

What we have done, we can’t rewind

Is there a way to escape from pain,

And from Karma, can we be free?

Yes, this is the ultimate secret

If the Divine Soul, we can be

To escape from all suffering

Is our Life’s Ultimate Goal

This is possible if only we realize

We are the Divine Soul

The Soul is a Power, it has no Karma

It is the Energy of the Lord

We must realize we are not what we appear to be

But rather a manifestation of God

When we realize we are not this, we are That

From Action and Rebirth, we are free

We will be Liberated from all suffering

And United with the Divine we will be

This is the secret of Eternal Joy

And the way to Everlasting Peace

If only we can Transcend Karma

All our sufferings will cease

So, don’t believe just the Law of Attraction

It is the Law of Action that will work

What you attract, may never come to you

If from Action, you will shirk

But tasks will bind you to be born again

And the Happiness that you seek

You will remain thirsty and yearning for more

As you try to climb the peak

The only way to Peace and Bliss

Is from Karma to be free

Then, eternal Joy and everlasting Peace

Will be your final destiny

Life is a journey and we must choose

We can live with Attraction or with Action

But being Liberated and being United with God

Is our Life’s Ultimate Destination
