Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 The Storehouse of Love, c 1975, mahaksadasa with idea assistance from Jivananda dasa The Storehouse of Love is never empty The more that's taken, the more He will give. He is unlimited in compassion, The Spiritual Strength of all who live. He engages unfortunate, fallen souls In this age of hypocracy By singing the Holy Names of God We can develop humility What will make us happy, what always makes us cry? Why for only a minute we live and the very next minute we die? We all have aspirations for power, to control our very destiny. We never know how to accept though the Gift is given for free The Storehouse of Love is never empty The more that's taken, the more He will give. He is unlimited in compassion, The Spiritual Strength of all who live. He engages unfortunate, fallen souls In this age of hypocracy By singing the Holy Names of God We can develop humility The political leaders, the modern scholars, All of the Doomsday preachers, To satisfy the many polluted hearts Of those madly searching for cheaters, Proclaim salvation for all the souls Teaching pleasure just comes from matter While the world just grinds out more pain, Both in this life and many hereafter. The Storehouse of Love is never empty The more that's taken, the more He will give. He is unlimited in compassion, The Spiritual Strength of all who live. He engages unfortunate, fallen souls In this age of hypocracy By singing the Holy Names of God We can develop humility Please bear witness to all The compassionate philantrophists All the deeds of so-called mercy Sure make some impressive lists. Noble deeds are often ruined By underhanded ways of making a living Yet the stay so proud and tell the world, "We are the masters of giving." But giving is not that easy When one has not a thing to give Not a thing to lose except Maybe the will to live. We never learn how to accept Though Sri Govinda has given us all We only seek pleasure from matter, Thus smash our heads against the wall. The Storehouse of Love is never empty The more that's taken, the more He will give. He is unlimited in compassion, The Spiritual Strength of all who live. He engages unfortunate, fallen souls In this age of hypocracy By singing the Holy Names of God We can develop humility The reason I always lament, The missing nectar from my life. Cannot be tasted in wealth or fame, Glory or freedom from strife. By reciprocating the Love Govinda has for me I take a drink from the Storehouse of Love Entering His Supreme Abode, With the straw on the street above. The Storehouse of Love is never empty The more that's taken, the more He will give. He is unlimited in compassion, The Spiritual Strength of all who live. He engages unfortunate, fallen souls In this age of hypocracy By singing the Holy Names of God We can develop humility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHari Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 But while I continue, I'll help a little toward the final perfection of the piece: "Yet the_ stay so proud" and "hypocrisy". Thanks, Maha. These words especially set me free: "Cannot be tasted in wealth or fame, Glory or freedom from strife". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
