Stand Still

Do this, said one Swami 
Do that, said a Pandit
Do nothing, said the atheist
Do everything, said the fearful heart

What do I do?
I cried in despair
I ran helter skelter
I was confused and lost

I submitted, 
I surrendered
You show me the path

God, I implored, 

A light shone bright
Drowning all else around
My eyes blinded
And yet seeing the glowing truth

Sometimes the cloud
Of doubts shroud my mind
But can they last? Won't they
Be blown away by the wind?

Just stand still
Silence your heart
Shut out the noises 
Within and without.
