~Guru’s Instructions~

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare

I always wondered what instructions are,
Build spiritual buildings, so high, so far.
Give to each disciple, one instruction at par,
Guru opens the spiritual door ajar!

Don’t be fooled by the simple acts, he asks to follow,
Krishna ’s service, he instructs, to each fellow,
These instructions are great seeds; they are not hollow,
Each grows into tall tree, what seems simple mallow.

Not just the single soul he departs, just to know,
He wants the whole world to grow,
With each soul he liberates to show,
Each soul liberates a nation, so does he bestow!

Law of nature he knows, so thee follow,
Enlighten nations which were so lost and wallow!
Mutation is his magic; he’s not so callow,
Saffron he wears; don’t mistake it for Yellow!
