Chanting the mantra
Counting the Japa Mala
I repeat the name;
A gateway to the illumination awaits
As I meditate upon the quest.

Isn’t that true about any thing we want to achieve? Like with focus and determination only would we able to see the path towards the goal, viz, the gateway, for doing and completing any task, which is the ‘illumination’

Focus is so crucial for meditation. Yet to get to a point where my mind doesn’t go in a million directions. Beautiful poem, Swarnali.

This is something I’ve never explored, mainly because I haven’t had a mentor to guide me. Like many others, I’m not sure what my quest is.
Thank you for sharing such a simple yet thoughtful poem.
All the best.
