A Farmer's Life 4 - A Bowl Of Oil Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
A Farmer's Life 4 - A Bowl Of Oil
A Bowl of Oil
'Just twice! ', wondered Narada
'While I recite His name day in
And day out! ' He asked the Lord
Exactly this question.
Lord said, 'I will answer you, Sage.
But I have an urgent task. Please take
This bowl filled with oil around the world
Without spilling a drop.'
The most trivial wish of Lord is an order,
No questions asked, the sage set out
Engrossed in the task and returned
To the Lord, without spilling a drop of oil.
