Final Realisation Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

In my childhood days I loved my parents,
Grandfather, grandmother, brothers, sisters,
Uncles, aunts, cousins, schoolmates…

In my adolescecce I loved my parents,
Grandfather, grand mother, brothers, sisters,
Uncles, aunts, cousins, schoolmates,
A few friends and female friends.

In my youth days I loved dream, idealism,
Country, truth, man, animal, nature, society,
Culture, game, music, literature, fine atrs,
Tradition, revoulition and her.

Then my eyes were full of amorous look,
I floted on the ocean of love, tied of love,
Fascinated by love, full of love (fool of love?)
Always meditated my beloved idol of love.

In my elderliness days I loved my wife,
My son, my daughter
Philoprogenitiveness knew no bounds.

Now at present in my decrepitude
When the western horizon adorned with twilight
When the boatman tying his boat returning home
Through shadowy ally …
When far forest conceling last glow behind the leaves
The dim sunshine about to commit suicide jumping
Fron the far mountain peak
When the lengthening shadow
Eleminating itself bit by bit

I realise, I love only myself.
None but only myself.
