934. Eternal Tides Of Time And Me. 220408



You desire to write your name in world’s history?
If you can write it on sea waves, yours is victory!
Nothing could escape that tidal TIME could destroy!

You desire to have a lasting relation with anyone?
If you can bind sand bits in beach, I say you will win!
Untying and joining various bits, are TIME’s idyllic fun!

You desire to be good and congenial to one and all?
If you can remove world’s duality, you can thrive well!
TIME has revealed even Jesus had to face people cruel!

You desire to be unselfish to do nishkamiya karma?
If you can swim in sea being a salt-doll, yours is jaya!
When TIME melts your ‘I’ away, whom do you do seva? 220408

Nishkamiya karma – Action done without any selfish motto
Jaya- victory
Seva – service

Simple Meaning: Desire to have name and fame is foolish wish. Trying to withhold any relation (even mother-child!) and to be good to the whole world is impossible. Becoming unselfish to serve world is the greatest paradox. Body is personification of our selfish desires. When one becomes totally unselfish there is no separate identify for him/her from the universe. He/she becomes one with world. When such is the case how to serve the world?
