My Journey Of Spiritual Awakening

It was 31st August,Two Thousand Fourteen

I was on a Quest, to get answers I was keen 

That day, I boarded a Divine flight

There were stars twinkling in the sky that night 

Who am I? Why am I here?

These two questions rung in my ear!

I too wanted Success, I wanted Happiness

But my life was filled with misery and stress 

I had several Questions that I put to the test 

Ultimately, my Guru sent me on a Quest Who am I?Why am I here?

To find answers to these questions and to be clear

I was always jumping from yesterday to tomorrow 

My life had so much fun but also a lot of sorrow

I was running a race trying to become an ace

I was caught in a maze, not knowing what is grace 

Who am I? Why am I here?

These two questions when answered, would change the gear

For twenty-five years I chased achievement

Then, shut shop and took an exit to fulfillment

I went on a Quest to Realize the Truth

Went on retreats to get to the bottom of the root 

Who am I?Why am I here?

I attacked these questions with every possible spear

I Realized that I am not this body, one day it would die 

At death, I would pass away, disappear in the sky

Then, the ego asked, 'Am I the mind?'

When I went on its search, the mind I couldn't find 

Who am I? Why am I here?

I couldn't be nothing, I was right here!

I am not the body, ego, mind; I am the Soul

I am the Spark Of Unique Life; I achieved my goal 

Not This Not This, I realized I was That

There was no doubt, it was a fact! 

Who am I? Why am I here?

Wow! In the 'Aha!' moment, I was absolutely clear

I was nothing but a manifestation of God

I was not 'I', I was the Lord

For years, I believed that God lived in the sky

On that Divine flight, I Realized that it was a lie! 

Who amI? Why am I here? 

O Lord! I am you. I got it, my dear

The purpose of life is not just to live and die

Not to look at the sky, to cry and ask, 'Why?' 

Who am I? We must realize without doubt 

And who I am not, that we must throw out! 

Who am I? Why am I here?

Once we know it, we will live with cheer

I will never die. I am the Immortal Soul

Made of carbon, I am a diamond, I am not just coal 

But for this, I needed Realization,

Starting with Purification, I needed Illumination 

Who am I? Why am I here?

If I was still, the Divine voice I would hear

This journey is different, it is a voyage within

To discover we are not the ones made of bone and skin 

It's taking an exit, not going from peak to peak

It is the higher things of life, when we start to seek 

Who am I? Why am I here?

After decades, we get the answer and we are clear

I too wasted my life for nearly fifty years

Then, with the help of my Guru, I Realized with tears

Life is not meant to be lived like a rat in a race

We have to Realize the Truth and get out of the maze

Who am I? Why am I here?

I Realized the Truth and was free from stress, worry and fear

Life is not meant to live with a crisis

We must realize the Truth and get a Metamorphosis

We must move from Self-Realization to God-Realization 

Our ultimate goal is Liberation and Unification

Who am I? Why am I here?

That's all we need to know, let's not wander like a deer

Now I am awakened; I have a new Mission

To help others overcome ignorance and have a clear vision 

What is the reason that makes us all come to earth?

Why did we all take this Divine human birth? 

Who am I? Why am I here?

To make people realize this, I am sincere
