A Vaisnava’s compassion
knows no limit it is said,
“oceanic and sweet —
distinguished as gold, not lead.
Such compassion, you’ll not find
in the mundane welfare realm,
it emanates from the heart —
and has the ability to overwhelm.
Dispelling dryness and insecurity,
from the hearts of “homeless souls,”
instilling faith in the faithless —
establishing spiritual goals.
Although externally appearing,
like many other missions,
the essence we’re preserving —
through transcendental vision.
Simply saving shirts (or bodies),
neglecting swimmer (the soul),
“is a waste of valuable time,”
we are emphatically told!
Our aim is to go deeper —
our service personalized,
become expert in both realms,
“complete welfare” combined!
No need to be fanatical,
our mission is foretold —
“In every town and village,”
inundating the young, the poor and the old!
