Devotion (Bhakti)

BHAKTHI ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ One dipping deep in Bhakti sweet thinks drowning is joy-zenith! He spurns the prop of earthly earth and even heaven's mirth! It's strong ambrosia and mead so sweet; Bhakti's odd zing is far better, better; beyond the girth of wordy swing! So queer are peers of Bhakti. Shun all that I taught at yore, like yoga and jnana! Yet they win my love, singing my lore! They're love personified. Their minds are filled with me; their tongues recite always my names; they sing and dance with ecstasy stung! Than angelic life in heavens tall, in carefree carnal spree; they think better to strive on earth, chanting His name with glee!
