Excerpt from The Way of Love by Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Mahārāja
We are all children of the Supreme Lord, who is the personification of supreme happiness and the reservoir of supreme happiness for all others. We are part and parcel of that Happiness. The only difference between the Supreme Lord and ourselves is that He is unlimited and we are minute. We are qualitatively one with Him, but unfortunately we have forgotten who we are. We should try to realize this truth. We must not quarrel with those of other religious faiths. The one true religion of all souls is love, and that religion is one without a second. We should love God and also each other, and in this way people can live happily in this world.
I allowed myself to be led astray
A blue-eyed saint helped me find the way
He came from a holy place
My holy master His Divine Grace
Your merciful glance
My once in a lifetime chance
You inspire and give hope
In a deep dark well a strong rope
You mercifully open my eyes
The soul never dies
Just chant the Holy Name
Selfless love is life’s true aim
Your teachings are timeless
You give a gift that is priceless
Your generosity and kindness
Evoke a sense of mine-ness
Your teachings are timeless
You give a gift that is priceless
priceless is priceless
You open my eyes
I say
Love, live, let go and forgive
Nothing to take, but everything to give
I’m closer to you than the air you breathe
I’ll be there in your time of need
Love, live, let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa
Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare
Hare Rāma Hare Rāma
Rāma Rāma Hare Hare
Your merciful glance
My once in a lifetime chance
You inspire and give hope
In a deep dark well a strong rope
You mercifully open my eyes
The soul never dies
Your teachings are timeless
You give a gift that is priceless
Your generosity and kindness
Evoke a sense of mine-ness
Your teachings are timeless
You give a gift that is priceless
priceless is priceless
You open my eyes
I say
Love, live, let go and forgive
Nothing to take, but everything to give
I’m closer to you than the air you breathe
I’ll be there in your time of need
Love, live, let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
Let go and forgive
You open my eyes
Love, live, let go and forgive
Nothing to take, but everything to give
I’m closer to you than the air you breathe
I’ll be there in your time of need
Love, live, let go and forgive
