Lotuses rise and take birth in ponds of mud;
Amidst thorns beautiful roses get bud;
Diamonds are found where coals dwell;
Pearls are formed in darkness of Oyster’s shell;
Every beauty meets perfection in hardships;
Like the brave warriors outshine in battleships;
Similarly Devotion flowers in thick clouds of pain;
Selfless love blooms when Sri Krishna’s blessings rain.
