Lovingly written by Chinmayan…as an expression of the most powerful path to Realization, which is dedicating all the efforts of your body, speech and mind to attaining enlightenment so that you-then have the wisdom, skills and ability to bring all living beings to that same state.

THE PEOPLE OF GOD “The quickest, surest and most profound path to enlightenment comes Through dedicating yourself to attaining Realization so that you then have the Power, trainings and ability to serve in bringing all living beings who are suffering in The world to that same state through the power of your Love and compassion.” —Yeshe Gyamtso The people of God Surround me Wherever I go With haunted eyes That do not know Who they are. Some are beggars, Some are rich, Some are young, Some are old— Yet all are lost In this world That confuses even The mighty and The wise. Those who depend Solely on the world Cannot hope to see Anything that is true— My heart breaks To see suffering Of such magnitude… And so I carry All of them, All of us Within myself up Before the Lord. They are all a part Of the force that Carries me along Towards my own Realization…for I long To follow this Diamond Path all the way To enlightenment so That I will have The awareness and The power to serve And save them all. I am no further Than the most deluded, No stronger than The weakest ones, No greater than The least of them— For we are all Linked subtly through The One who created And sustains us. Therefore I cannot close My heart to anyone, For the God I serve And yearn for Lives inside each Person— And only This greater Love For everyone Can reveal the Lord to me. June 8, 1989 On the USA Tour with my guru Ammachi in Berkeley, California

A BEAUTIFUL HEART OPENING AND MIND EXPANDING KIRTAN for you from one of my curated playlists…
This is a rousing Rock N Roll version of one of Yogananda’s kirtans in English that he often sang for hours on end as he did his own prayer to achieve union with God (and the highest levels of absorption in the Divine known as “samadhi”) in the form of Divine Mother…
Play this kirtan loud or on headphones! Easy to learn and sing lyrics…
