Man, Duty And God - 2 Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Man, Duty And God - 2
Born to perform duties assigned
Sinful is to leave them unfulfilled
Fight open the avenues to success
Indiscriminately eliminating enemies
The soul of the killed quits the body
And migrates to a fresh one instantly
Nobody ceases to exist but the mortal body
Death is thus unworthy of being grieved
Grief and gaiety are transient like seasons
That change in cycle from winter to summe
The enlightened never finds reason to grieve
Neither for the living nor for the dead
He who is not affected by grief and gaiety
Is eligible for liberation and reaches God
Wonderful thoughts on death and soul. Thoughts imbued with wisdom and insight. " Grief and gaiety are transient like seasons that change in cycle from winter to summer." Great lines from a beautiful poem. Top Marks!
