My homeland is India — for already in my youthI let myself be penetrated by the words of the Veda.Only in the wake of Vedantic doctrineCould I bring my own message to the world —The Word of God, that I hear within me.

Where is God’s help after all our prayers?Hidden like the child Moses in the bulrushes.What is small and remote can become mighty —On earth, the help of the Lord is ever near.

Vairâgyânanda was the name of a Hindu sage —“Bliss through freedom from illusion.”Blessèd the man who, in his own soul,Has broken the wall that separates him from God’s Presence.

Vedânta, dîkshâ, japa: this triad —Doctrine, initiation, and path. The path whereto?Whither all wise thought aspires —To the One Self, to the One Freedom.
