Amma, I stand empty handed! br br I really did not know br What gift should I select for you. br Money or honey? br Milk or silk? br Flower or fruit? br Sweet pudding or tender coconut? br …. br br You smiled at my silliness! And br You asked the whole heart of mine. br I was very happy that you asked for such a simple thing. br At once tried I to take my heart – br To offer unto your lotus feet. br br Not once, twice or thrice br I have been trying for years together br To lift my heart against the gravity of the earth br But I am unable to separate my heart br Which is strongly attached to the world. br br I tried all tricks to isolate it.
