Preparation For Soul's Freedom! Poem by Ramesh T A

Loneliness only gives chance to talk with conscience or self;
Self is what world dictators fail to conquer conquering all;
All nations one may conquer, but conquering one's self is great;
Great sages, seers, mystics and yogis have made a mark here so!

So long one goes after one's desire sans self control, fails ever;
Ever the desire kindles them to try something of their wish sure;
Sure there is no end for that unless one reaches contention of heart;
Heart is the place of desire's residence swayed by external spell;

Spell makes the desire come out of prison to see world's wonders;
Wonders kindle desire to go here and there and enjoy this and that;
That kind of adventure continues when one achieves successes first;
First and last one cannot get satisfaction so unless one sees defeat!

Defeat brings grief andsorrowful days to see to learn lessons;
Lessons teach what is truth and make one wise to conquer self first;
First and last there lies the secret of success to win all in world;
World is the place of experiments to make soul perfect for freedom!
