Offerings To Sai
Baba Says…
Give me not these offerings of wealth
For I have no greed,
Only hunger
For your love.
Bring me not your empty words
For they don’t reach me,
Through the void
Where only outpourings of your heart can travel.
Shower not your lavish gifts
For I have no need for them,
They only satisfy
Your hunger.
Place not these crowns on my head
But your troubles at my feet,
So I may transmute them
And reduce your burdens.
Bring me the beating of your heart
Bathe me in the purity of your tears,
Dress me in the fragrance of your longing
Offer me the gift of your remembrance,
Call to me as your breath flows
Sit beside me in your joys and sorrows.
Bring me not your riches
But the pain in your soul,
Deep embedded sorrows;
For in them I see
The honest treasures of your heart,
In them I feel you belong.
Bring to me the outpourings of your heart
And know that I stand beside,
Hoping you will cast a look or call
And let me dry your tears
Or lend a helping hand.
I wonder why instead
You choose to bring me lavish gifts,
When all I ever want
Is to help your soul to uplift.
