Lal Ded Feeling Lost

Lal Ded, a saint poetess from Kashmir, Feeling Lost 

I had a wooden bow

And only grass for an arrow.

I wanted to build a grand palace,

But I did not know how.

In a busy market,

I left my little shop open.

I searched outside for holy answers,

But my heart still felt unsure.

Lal Ded says:
“When we feel confused,
we need a wise guide—
and we must also listen
to the good, quiet voice inside us.”
