Heart Pure And Wide! Poem by Ramdas Bhandarkar

Heart Should be sure,
Nothing is perpetual,
Heart should be true and pure,
Neither the pain nor the happiness,
every thing is of short tenure,

May it be riches
Or it may be penury,
May it be a ailment or an injury,
Whatever acquired will go,
What ever required will follow,
He pays for our needs and we have to pay for our greed!

Galore of thoughts neither save,
Nor the penance and rituals,
Save us only our words and deeds!

Rhapsodical poesy or highflown behaviour can only be a harm,
Only thoughts of loving heart that flow like river the great,
Feeding all along the bank,
green green will be everywhere,
When fountain of love quench the thirst,
wonderful and beautiful will be,
The heart that is so wide,
Heart which is without pride,
When it is having nothing to hide,
Remains ever calm
without waves and tide!
