Gut Faith Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

In life the most abiding company is nature
that may sustain you in your worst hour
a true friend and a seer’s wisdom count for no less

Blessed is the man whose vocation is his mission
engaging his all, in death and in life
in whose shelter he feels fully secure

Deceptive and delusive is the lure of the distant
the fount of all treasures is underfoot
dig deep there and you will find the sought

Your opportunity is hid in your eyelids
open it wide to see the light trail
beackoning you to follow it to the last

Every place is the centre of the world
fix your gaze on the point you are and the hour
what you need is gut faith to leap the abyss.
(Yayati)
