Arunachala's Child

One fine moment, Lord Arunachala rubbed one foot on the other. Some dust flew off, and settled earthward. Of that dust, was I born.
Arunachala saw that, and exclaimed 'Oh Dear!' in Tamil. Tears trickled down from His gentle eyes, down his cheeks, moistening his white beard, and one fell on earth. It became my heart, which has always beaten for Arunachala.
For many years, i lived in abandon, frolicking, uncaring. But then one day, when the tides turn against one, i looked up searchingly.

And that was when i saw You Father, You who were always with me. You were always mine, always inseparable.

I am Arunachala's child, frolicking on Mother Earth. I am full of joy since I arise from His Holy Feet. I am of Him.

All that I am, belongs to the Glorious Arunachala, my Mother and Father.
