The slothful
by SivavakkiyarEnglish version by Kamil V. Zvelebil
Original Language Tamil
The slothful
sluggards
say: He is far, far, far
away!
But the Supreme It
is spread everywhere
on Earth and in Heavens.
O you poor dumb ones,
running
stunned and suffering
through towns and fields and forests
in Search!
He is right there
within you!
Stand still
and feel Him,
feel!
-- from The Poets of the Powers: Freedom, Magic, and Renewal, Translated by Kamil V. Zvelebil |
