The Fire

By Swami Ntya 

Great souls see with different eyes
they see the Divine, when hearing our sighs
their vision of life, includes us all
their compassion saves from desperate fall

when such a soul calls us to meet
their voice is, what touches us deep
beyond conferences where people preach
and meetings where "knowers" teach.

They ignite the fire of man's jearning
the fire of knowledge that does no burning
fire feeding on ignorance, brings light,
opens eyes, brings new insight

This fire kindles all embracing love
touching man, nature; below and above
although it consumes - it never destroys
it only suppports, nurtures, brings joys

This fire heals all separation
makes equal, leads to great transformation
The fire these Beings ignite
lifts us ever up, soaring  to new height

A candle's flame taken into the sun bright
only remains as purest light
