Agony, delight, tears, grief
Success, failure, fear, bliss
Nothing exists as such
Our deluded mind
Creates it all
Negative thoughts in my mind
are like the waves in the ocean
it comes and goes
without disturbing my mind
Like the serene lake
I stay calm and clear
Nothing disturbs me
Not any pain kills me
I abandon darkness
and cherish light
I have been always grateful
To the sky, water, fire, and air
They are my teacher
I don’t need any Ph.D. degrees
To prove my knowledge
To show my wisdom
A beautiful lotus
can grow from a pile of discarded waste
A scented rose
can bloom with so many thorns
A flute
can play magical melodies with many holes
I am the scented lotus, bloomed rose
and the flute
Every problem is a gift to me
It helps me to grow
It helps me to know
Who I am
Why I am here?
Nothing to anticipate
Nothing to regret
Nothing to complain
I come from the sky I go to the sky
I come from earth I go to earth
I speak the Divine language
of love and compassion
I belong to this universe
there is no enemy or friend
There is only our deluded mind
That creates everything
Like a moon, playing hide and seek
With storms and dark clouds
My life plays hides and seeks
with obstacles, challenges, risk
I take risk
I accept challenges
I don’t have to participate in any race
To win
I don’t have to pass any exams
To certify myself
I am already a winner
The things began will definitely end
what is born will eventually die
Life ends like a flash of light
It withers like a blink of an eye
Nothing to begin
Nothing to end
Nothing to win
Nothing to lose
