Seedlings – poem by Shivangna
with an Introduction by Shri Mataji – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation:
“I’ve been always telling you that Sahaja Yoga is the sprouting of your seed within you. When the seed is dormant you cannot visualize the maps it has in it of all the creations it is going to create – out of one seed, how many trees have grown, how many fruits have come out and how many seeds are coming out and how many they are going to produce. You cannot understand how dynamic it is.”
Seedlings – poem by Shivangna
She caught a glimpse of you
While you were wrapped In a blanket sheltered with her love
As you cradled in her arms
Beginning to find the sunshine in this world
Before you even opened your eyes
You heard mom’s gentle lullabies
That promised to protect you with the fruits of her love
We were all little seeds as we emerged out of trees
But before we made our roots stems and leaves
We began by choking on hiccups and blowing raspberries
While dad captured our candid Kodak memories
Of our promising first footsteps with wobbling knees
Then came the first bike ride
And you still had him on your side
While you tried to hide your fear under that helmet
But he smiled, held your shoulder and said
“Son it’s about time you let go of your training wheels ”
And at that he pushed away his little seed
And watched it fall head first onto the soft ground
Because he knew that in this seed was a voice waiting to be found
So the little seeds began by sprouting little roots
Brightening the world with light up Velcro boots
Wearing them and going on pursuits
Of happiness with no absolutes
And so, seeds turned into seedlings
Buried under the dreams and expectations of reaching ceilings
But soon these seedlings began to realize that
The dreams it once dreamed were a bit too supersized
And that this world it tried to grow in comprised
Of big bad wolfs that mom read about in storybooks.
And then they were told that self-esteem came with good looks
And the answers to life were found through flipping textbooks
But in the midst of being stuck in all this mud
Little seedlings started to sprout their buds
Because they began to find direction
As they started embracing their imperfections
This is a world that gives more than it takes
And it gives a voice to each seed that’s raked
And through every slip and fall
They found ways to stand tall
With their humility kept high and their pride kept low
They Emerged from the the ground below
And that is how Little seedlings learned to grow
