Satguru Mile To Sab Mile, Na To Mila Na Koi,

Maat Pita Sut Baandhva, Ye To Ghar Ghar Hoi.

If you get Satguru, you have got everything, if not, you have achieved nothing,Mother, father, son and relatives, these are found in everyhouse.

Today upon a bus, I saw A lovely maid with golden hair; I envied her - she seemed so gay -And oh, I wished I were so fair.When suddenly she rose to leave,I saw her hobble down the aisle,She had one foot and wore a crutch,But as she passed, a smile.Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;I have two feet - the world is mine.

And when I stopped to buy some sweets,The lad who served me had such charm;He seemed to radiate good cheer,His manner was so kind and warm.I said, "It's nice to deal with you,Such courtesy I seldom find."He turned and said, "Oh, thank you, sir!"And I saw that he was blind.Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;I have two eyes - the world is mine.

Then, when walking down the street,I saw a child with eyes of blue.He stood and watched the others play;It seemed he knew not what to do,I stopped a moment, then I said:"Why don't you join the others, dear?"He looked ahead without a word,And then I knew; He could not hear.Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;I have two ears - the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go,With eyes to see the sunset's glow,With ears to hear what I should know:I'm blessed indeed, The world is mine;Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

So the next time you are having an "its all about me day", or on a day when you are feeling sorry for yourself, or on a day that you catch yourself complaining about the things that truly are not issues, remember Mr. Foleys poem, "When I Whine".
