Art of living demands integrity
not what you preach or profess
but the life you live in word and deed
for the others is an example indeed
There’s no greater teacher than life
what you do and practice as you live
teaches far more how it is to be lived
than tons of speechifying and dogmaizing
No contagion can equal the contagion of life
its influence spreads faster than even thoughts
your seeds in form of deeds will determine
your destiny as the ripened fruit you shall reap
Ill-feelings and ill-thoughts are killing and suicidal
spread hatred you make the world a literal hell
plant love into the world to let a million heavens blossom
with all the beauties and colours of Edensque spring.
(Yayati)
