Beneath the peepal tree
sat a monk
Searching for the Ultimate truth
in the depths of time for long!
Death he saw everywhere
bidding adieu a normal fare
“joy, sadness
riches, miseries
luxuries golden
or torn destiny…
Nothing remains
in the end of the journey
empty handed
departs the body ! “
Doubts and queries
confused his intellect
perplexing his soul
thoughts unanswered…
leaving behind
a palace of riches
a kingdom of wealth,
Sacrificing the desires
that we love,
setting afoot when young
he went in search
for the Real One….
The path unknown took days
to traverse
nearer he came to the Absoluteness of nature,
yet remained away from
the drops of Grace…
continuing his persistent attempt…
The gracious moment soon arrived,
the truth got revealed by Divine
when reawakening
enlightened his soul and mind….
Preached the world
the path of love
“Nirvana“, he became,
the Enlightened one…
