So Much Of Sweetness Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

So Much Of Sweetness

Rating: 5.0


Peeled and washed green-gram
Grains are wet for few hours,
Then grinded in to flour paste,
Tiny balls are fried in pan of oil,

Radish yellow tiny cakes again,
Hotly merged with syrup for while,
Sweetness has entered within,
Sweets are ready to serve to guests.

Very pretty tiny cakes attract in taste,
Like a soul gets attraction for wisdom,
Sweetness of wisdom gives satisfaction,
These cakes are nice in spiritual festival.

Children urge for such sweets to mother,
Like we all souls urge God to give nectar,
Great wisdom in green-gram cakes we get,
So much of sweetness reminds us God ever.

Colour of wisdom we feel, we feel sweetness,
Golden yellow colour motivates for learning,
Pure food deeply impacts mind and body,
Sweetness of purity nourishes personality.

Wow......they look yummy.....! Just as these fried pieces absorb sweetness when dipped in sugar syrup, we too absorb wisdom from God and are turned into delectable sweetmeats for the world to relish! Beautiful thoughts Kumaramani Sir!
