Life is divided into four stages of age
for its easy and efficient management.
Just like the organisational departments
to facilitate the functional arrangement.
First three bear each twenty five years
and the fourth one, till the life ends.
The middle two are filler of a sandwich,
first and last are the covering breads.
Second phase carries the married life,
house hold, family and social relations.
Third phase is to pass on gradually,
responsibilities to the next generation.
First is the childhood and student life,
free from much of the social botheration.
Last phase is renunciation of material desires
and focus the life to God and salvation.

I would like to translate this poem
Sanyasa, without knowledge of such things they are still found to be true. Your writings reflect the wisdom of such truths. As sure as the sea tides advancing and subsiding. All in their time, all in constant motion.
