By Sri Nandanandana das<\/strong> (ACBSP)<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation [Bhagavad-gita] worships Me by his intelligence.\u201d\u2013Bg 18.70.<\/p>\n

Somehow or other, people in history who read and properly appreciated Srimad Bhagavad-gita had succeed and excelled in their activities.<\/p>\n

The following poem to Bhagavad-gita and Lord Krishna was written by Amado Nervo, the original is in Spanish and so, you will have to excuse any grammatical inconsistency. His work was published in the French language in France as well. <\/p>\n

Amado Nervo (1870-1919) \u201c\u2026 poet and diplomat, generally considered the most distinguished Mexican poet of the late 19th- and early 20th-century literary movement known as Modernismo. Nervo’s introspective poetry, characterized by deep religious feeling and simple forms, reflects his struggle for self-understanding and inner peace in an uncertain world.\u201d- Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica Online.<\/p>\n

Lord, May I Carry You In My Heart
\nLet others go with galleys of ivory thru the river of life;
\nand let others to carry a stock of illusion with them;
\nand yet others, let them to carry rockefellerian treasures
\nand lordship…
\nLet me carry You, my God, within my heart!<\/p>\n

Let me carry You, my God, like a divine pearl
\nwithin the tremulous case of my heart that loves You;
\nlet me carry You in my mind like matutinal light;
\nlet me carry You in my chest like an invisible flame.<\/p>\n

In the purest and noblest of my song throbs
\nmay I carry You in the music of everything that rhymes;
\nand to my spirit, oh Lord, may You be the sublime friend announced
\nby Your words in the Bhagavad-gita.<\/p>\n

February, 1917
\nFrom the Collection “The pond of Lotuses”.<\/p>\n

Spanish speaking devotees may like to read or copy the original poem, here it is included. <\/p>\n

LLEVETE YO
\nLleven otros galeras de marfil por el r\u00edo
\nde la vida; otros lleven acopio de ilusi\u00f3n;
\notros rockfellerescos tesoros, se\u00f1or\u00edo…
\n \u00a1Ll\u00e9vete yo, Dios m\u00edo, dentro del coraz\u00f3n!<\/p>\n

Ll\u00e9vete yo, Dios m\u00edo, como perla divina
\nen el tr\u00e9mulo estuche del coraz\u00f3n que te ama;
\nll\u00e9vete yo en la mente como luz matutina
\nll\u00e9vete yo en el pecho como invisible llama.<\/p>\n

Ll\u00e9vete yo en la m\u00fasica de todo cuanto rime;
\nen lo m\u00e1s puro y noble de mi canci\u00f3n palpita,
\n y s\u00e9 para mi esp\u00edritu el amigo sublime
\nque anuncian tus palabras en el Bhagavad-gita.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
