Born with the cries an’ eyes closed
\nFeedin’ on mother’s breast helpless
\nAn infant was born to the Brahma’s laws ill-defined
\nShattered by the forces of nature, merciless<\/p>\n
The blind-one knew not, there was no one to call his own
\nLed by the laws of Karma to be thrashed, unfaltering
\nBetween the banks of pleasures an’ pains unknown
\nLooking high unto heavens, a seeker was born, faltering<\/p>\n
The Guru, visible, who is filled with smiles an’ blessedness
\nHeld the one who is blind, caressing with love an’ gentleness
\nSaid, my child, there is the Light an’ Love already within uncovered
\nSheltered by selfless an’ sacrifice for the Truth to be rediscovered<\/p>\n
The blind one, at once, felt released
\nThe bonds of ignorance being shattered
\nBeing led into the heaven of the blessed
\nThe blind one, at the end, enlightened<\/p>\n
