Heaven and Hell
are right there
in our hearts.
Choose well in which part
you want to dwell
the rest of your life.

Choose well! Yes, for the right direction. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
This is so true. Very thoughtful work. Yes, indeed it is up to us to choose our path. Well-penned my friend.10
Hi Arzoo, So true. Your poem reflects the idea of the famous shloka of Bhagavat Geeta: Uddharetatman aatmanam Na aatmanam avasadayet Aaatmasya aatmano bandhu- raatmasya ripuraatmana Swami Chinmayananda has translated this shloka as Let a man lift himself by his own self alone, and let him not lower himself.For, this self alone is the friend of oneself and this self is the only enemy of oneself. Great souls think alike. Good Arzoo. Keep writing. Keep reading. If you faith does not forbid you, you may read Gita along with Quran. All religions exhortations to the people are the same.
Thank you so much for valuable feedback. I'll surely read Gita. I believe in humanity and for me religion is just a medium to reach god. All religion leads us to the same destination. Hope to see you again with your thoughtful feedback.
