The Lineage of our Mother

Dear mother
the labor pains are over
I have taken birth
from Love itself
Through Love you gave me form
In Love I have grown
Your one teaching is Love
and that is my lineage
and that is my caste
and my only religion
This one identity
has inked my heart
through your hands
It says 'Love'
Nothing can wipe it
Nothing can erase it
I am colored in Love
Love is colored by me
There is nothing more
to ask
mother

Each step is a footprint of Love
Every breathe a bell in your temple
From the droning shruti box of Love
the sweetest kirtan arises
The song I want to sing
is of constant remembrance
of that I really am
'Not enlightened'
'Not unenlightened'
not even interested in it
quietly
the timeless heart
beats in Love
