Like the flowing river.


Hare Rama

Let me be
like a river

That ever marches ahead
Never looking back...

That carries with equal joy
Flower or filth
That is offered unto it..

That is flexible
yet determined
to reach its destination...

That which doesn't go to anybody
Nor does repel anyone who goes to it...

That which does its job joyfully
which is to flow
and flow only...

    I had promised to answer Mr.Baiyu in my next post. Because of time constraints I am postponing it for a couple of days. This one is for the time being. :)
