Devotion
If I am right
If I can be
Constant and faithful
Youll find me
In my devotion
In my devotion
What if you find a fault
Between my purpose and my deeds
And deem me beyond salvation
Judge me to be unworthy
Of your devotion
Of your devotion
If this be obsession deliver me
A passing infatuation deliver me
A feeling lacking in purity deliver me
A test of fidelity deliver me
Deliver me
Deliver me
What if I should find
Youre no good for me
What if I cant be strong enough
What if I cant break free
Of my devotion
Of my devotion

The Song Of Mankind
If human fails to help humanity..
Who will think for humanity
With a feeling of li’l sympathy
Won’t be a matter of indignity…? ? ?

When a man bids for fellow men..
Uncivilized and uncultured….

If human fails to help humanity…
Let us stretch our hands..
To help the needy and poor..
With a feeling of warmth
We can make it sure! ! !
Let us stretch our hands..
To help the needy and poor..
With a feeling of warmth
We can make it sure! ! !
If a man cant be a human…
How would a demon become human? ?
If a man cant be a human…
How would a demon become human? ?
And If a demon becomes human
Won’t be a matter of indignity? ?

Love & Compassion
I used to think love was a dying art
Compassion couldnt live within a crowded heart
I saw my freedom in a poor mans eyes
Hope like a light, will to survive
A sense of dignity to hold up high
These are the simple things
That keep us all alive
And though the rich buy power for a time
One thing that money cant buy
Chorus
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love...youre gonna feel love...
Ooo... feel love... youre gonna give love)
One night when I was feelin all alone
I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone
I knew that I would have to make a choice
Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit
We wont be free until we equalize
The price of power to the price of every life
And though I know its gonna take some time
Someday were all gonna find
Love and compassion
(onlv) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Thats what it takes to relate
Love and compassion
(only) love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
(oniy) love und compassion
Thats what it takes
(give love... ooo feel love... youre gonna
Feel love... if you give love)
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
(only) love und compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me
Love and compassion
Someday were gonna find it
Oh when I was alone
And I reached out for more
I just opened my eyes
Love und compassion
I know it will take some time
But you know were gonna make it come true
Love and compassion
All my love and compassion
Love und compassion
Love und compassion
All my love, all my love und compassion
Someday, someday were gonna find it, realize it
Take some time to give
Love und compassion
Hope iike a light, and a will to survive...

What Is True Devotion?
What is true devotion?
He is a farmer-
His means may not be much;
Not highly literate
To know by heart
The hymns and compositions
Of great seers and sages
Or of religious poets
To roll out in animated devotion
In front of deities in temples
To exhibit his borrowed arrogance
And assume a halo
Demanding attention-
He is not in saintly attire
Nor with a flowing beard
That brings respect in its wake-
Humbly dressed
Crowded by his family-
He knows not the names
Of the many deities installed-
His only purpose is
To worship god
And to fulfill the vow
Taken on a crisis-
Shaving heads of all dear ones
And applying sandal paste liberally
And sacred ash all over forehead
Or other religious markings-
Lighting camphor cakes in plenty
At the courtyard of deities -
Simply praying with all devotion
Raising his closed palms heavenwards
With no demands made to to god
Worrying the least huge expenditure
That may befall his meagre income-
Facing all the hostile conditions of travel,
Wait, push, rush and neglect-
Resting and sleeping in inhuman conditions-
All with a matchless patience;
Cursing none and complaining to none
Thinking only of the sole purpose of pilgrimage!
While I, calculating every coin spent
And devotion taking a back-seat,
With my bloated ego
Of my might of learning
And memory of hymns
Stand speechless and wonder-struck
And clearly defeated by the intensity
And purity of devotion of simple souls
Sans songs and hymns on Gods
Soulfully addressing,
'' O God, O Mother, O Father! '
And nothing else beyond him!
O God what use then
Of all my borrowed masterly prayers
When I realize with all my heart
True devotion requires none
Of borrowed mastery of language
To curry favour God
But only a deep-longing
And a burning faith sans anything
That reduces to ashes
All our rotting egos!
I held my head in shame
And set free all the hymns
I held captive in my mind by rote-
Thrashed the mean thought
That God could be bought
For glowing and glittering phrases!

Colours of Love
LOVE is
Life and also death
Servitude and devotion
A poem and philosophy
Stony but also compassion
Commitment and treacherous
Cold and also fresh air
Sin and virtuous
Body and also soul
Attraction and effort
Happiness and also displeasure
Affection and affliction
Action followed by union.
Love can not be christened
Name it
Lose it
But when I see you as an embodiment of love
I see you as
Radha
Durga
Meera

Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 36
One of the ulemma of solid learning, having been asked for his opinion about waqfbread, answered: ‘If it be accepted to insure tranquillity of mind from cares for food and to obtain leisure for devotion, it is lawful but if it be taken for maintenance it is forbidden.’
Bread is taken for the corner of devotion
By pious men and not the corner of devotion for bread.
Lay All Your Love On Me
(b. andersson / b. ulvaeus)
Laa...
I wasnt jealous before we met,
Now every woman I see is a potential threat.
And Im possessive, it isnt nice.
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice.
But now it isnt true,
Now everything is new,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
I beg of you...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
(dont go sharing your devotion)
It was like shooting a sitting duck.
A little smalltalk, a smile, and baby I was stuck.
I still dont know what youve done with me;
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily.
I feel a kind of fear,
When I dont have you near.
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride,
I beg you dear...
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Ive had a few little love affairs.
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce.
I used to think I was sensible,
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible.
cause everything is new,
And everything is you,
And all Ive learned has overturned.
What can I do?
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion,
Lay all your love on me. (dont go)
Dont go wasting your emotion,
Lay all your love on me.
Dont go sharing your devotion...

The True Meaning Of Love
La Amour...
Mapenzi...
Amore...
Love...
In every language you say,
it sounds sweet any day
Love is an emotion of strong affection and attraction
It is the intimate addiction to the one
The one you give all your heart, the one you promised never to be apart.
Love is a virtue of kindness and compassion,
it is the unselfish devotion with vows of passion
love unleashes a variety of different feelings, feelings so real it's more like healing
to a heart that has been chilling,
in the depths of the cold sea.
love is passionate, it is the closeness of being together
it is the oneness of being in love, to hold and to have
love compares to survival instincts, that keep humans together
love is less of a sexual affair,
it's more of a punishment that you endure over and again because you care.
in love, you never fall,
when you fall, it does not hurt
and when it hurts, you do not cry,
because love conquers all.
whether rich or poor, on the beach or in the shower
whether short or tall, in winter or in fall
whether blind or deaf, insecure or feeling safe
all you need is love.
love is an international language that overrides all the cultural and linguistic illusions that represent our generation
love is reciprocated, it's a mammalian drive like hunger or thirst
call it lust, call it attachment,
but i call it safety,
the security to say the words 'i love you' and feel it, to say ‘i need you' and see it.
love has taken control of my system, stimulating my brain's pleasure center
i am so in love i get side effects
when i can't eat, it's because of you
when i can't sleep, it's because of you
when my heart beats, it's because of you
when i stop to stare at another woman, it's because of you
it's because i know, she has nothing on you
the common ground for humanity, is the need and desire for love
love is timeless,
love is kind,
love and kindness are never wasted, and so is time
so trust me when i say,
I LOVE YOU

I Second That Emotion
Maybe you wanna give me kisses sweet
But for only one night with no repeat
Maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
In that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
But if you feel like loving me
If you've got the notion
I second that emotion
Say if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
In that case I don't want no part
'cause that would only break my heart
But if you feel like loving me
If you've got the notion
I second that emotion
Say if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
In that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
But if you feel like loving me
If you've got the notion
I second that emotion
But if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
But if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
