36) The Path of the Spirit


The first steps on the spirit’s path are full of pain –
On the outside you may find nothing to gain.
Sacrificing all that you love, cherish and hold
To an invisible Will-your hands you have to fold.

You have to strive towards an unknown goal,
Doubts attack and leave you unsure of your role.
 Oh! The path of the spirit seems to be only pain
All your simple dreams appear wasted and vain.

As you walk further you find you are still alone –
Your path only you have to find -to each his own.
Treading further you realize and the way you see
With your life only can the surrender complete be.

On the Spirits’ path such a high price you must pay –
Offering all that is dear –you can embark on the way!
Once the mighty ransom you have sincerely paid.
The minds chaos and pain begin to fade.

Your every footstep is guided by grace-
For you seek something pure for the entire human race!
 On the path of the spirit - then there is no pain;
And by your consecrated efforts all shall gain.

For you begin to see what is really true-
“The divine has laid the path just for you.”
