Jada Bharat Poem by O Anna Niemus

Jada Bharat



The Sanskrit scriptures record that Jada Bharat, a wandering
monk, was forcibly drafted by the king's servants to carry
the king in a palanquin with other bearers.

Because Jada Bharat, who respected all creatures, would not
crush ants he walked erratically, disrupting the king, who
released him from his conscription.

Compassion breaks the chains of slavery.
