As I move towards Perfection, Imperfection bars my way
And says, you can't proceed, till I've had my say
Look, life's wonderful here, so much to see and do
So many things to enjoy, so much love for you
You want to leave all this, to chase a pie in the sky
What makes you act thus, you must tell us why
You’ll look for something not lost, in a Present that can't be caught
Forgoing pleasures that I offer, you seek what can't be sought
I've no answer for it; yes, its delights I'll miss
But my heart keeps insisting, ahead awaits divine bliss
It says, don’t listen to what Imperfection has to say
It wants you here for itself; you must go your way
Argue not with Imperfection, for you'll never ever win
For everything you say, it'll have a tempting spin
Don’t give in to Imperfection, either; Yudhishtir bet and lost
For some passing pleasures, it’s too heavy a cost
In past lives you've come far, & are now near the goal
Go forth as who you are - the transcendental Soul
Imperfection rules the mind, Anahat is a true friend
I'll heed what it says - and will do so till the end.
