Material Versus Spiritual Expenditure Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
Material Versus Spiritual Expenditure
We for living daily work and earn money,
Farmers cultivating land harvest crops,
These earnings we distribute in family,
For us, for friends and relatives we spend.
Gradually these finish and we earn new,
Wealth kept by forefathers finishes gradually,
Body deteriorates due to aging and we become old,
Even our bodies do not last for long and we leave.
Time spent for long time earnings we leave,
We cannot move taking anything this is true,
Still many of us attach mind in material world.
They suffer due to attachment and vices.
Little of spiritual wealth on much expenditure,
Still this grows faster and adds new earnings,
As much as we spend this does not finish,
Fortunately we earn spiritual wealth.
Wings of spiritual earnings spread very far,
Unlimited time we give, teach and serve to others,
They get benefit and these multiply among them,
We gradually gain excellence and this grows.
Spiritual wealth on expenditure never finishes,
Spiritual crops or food are eternally served,
Truly along with our resolves we take this with us
Spiritual expenditure is really very amazing.

A nice comparison is done in between material and spiritual expenditure. We need to have spiritual expenditure.
Material wealth is not long lasting. We should keep spiritual wealth. God gives us wisdom and we feel his mercy. Swinging in his wisdom is our fortune. We love God very much. With love and hope we are growing with him. This is a great poem and you are a nice poet.

In spiritual things expenditure is also earning. Beautifully conveyed in the poem.

A highly philosophical poem. I wish the essence of the poem enlightens every soul to bring about a complete transformation of our way of thinking. The journey for material gains should make way for spiritual gain- everywhere. Thanks a lot. Body deteriorates due to aging and we become old, Spiritual crops or food are eternally served,
