Poems of Narad

Our Inner Life

I look upon the past and on my youth
Struggling to find an inner truth
Worthy of the reason I took birth
Upon this wondrous and most sacred earth
In which I chose to live my life and dream
Beneath the spiritual atmosphere of Neem
In a land so far from the place I knew as home
The sacred land of Auroville to roam
Sustained by love, to tolerate the heat
And on those blessed days to touch Her feet,
To build the Gardens of the great Mandir
And live a simple life unencumbered by fear
And know that he and she are ever near
And build the inner life tier by tier.
