250. I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED

I searched and searched
   For my soul.
At last I found my soul in the Flute of Krishna.

I searched and searched
   For my heart.
At last I found my heart in the Cross of Christ.

I searched and searched
   For my mind.
At last I found my mind in the Meditation of Buddha.

I searched and searched
   For my vital.
At last I found my vital in the Life of Vivekananda.

I searched and searched
   For my body.
At last I found my body on the Lap of the Supreme.
