Do Not Seek Poem by Jaishree Nair

Do not seek forgiveness if you cannot forgive the sins of those around you...

Do not seek happiness if you cannot wipe the tears of those
near you..

Do not seek wealth if you cannot sate the pangs of hunger of those begging to survive...

Do not seek knowledge if you cannot remove the pall of ignorance of others..

Do not seek love if you cannot douse the sparks of abhorrence of those around you...

Do not seek blessings if you cannot pray for those tormented in life's turmoils..

Do not seek comfort if you cannot ease the grief of those in need..
