Gift Of Nature 

Life is a precious gift 

More precious than time 

And riches mean nothing 

For both exist only with life. 

But man runs after Caesar 

Forgetting the reality of time and life 

Time vanishes along with this frame 

In nature both are eternal. 

Turn inward and seek there 

You shall find. Nay look not out 

Go to the absolute center 

You will be bewildered to see 

Nothing,total emptiness prevails 

But everything is there as microcosm. 

Kneel before none but Him 

The maker and governor of the whole 

But out of ignorance we waste 

Our life only to earn many wastes. 

The wise always scorn at 

The folly of man the wise. 

Come back to the hidden self 

Realize the ultimate-the content 

Rather than the worthless container. 

Peace will be theirs 

And tranquility too. 

Enjoy the depth like the pacific 

Quietude will reign upon each ,

And quench one's quest and query 

Who finds solace in the content.
