The Fountain Of Knowledge...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Born as a Prince
With all the luxuries of life;
Full of Materialistic things to strife;
Yet..it could not stop him nor convince;

Left everything, to lead with ascetic values.. time agreeing;
Preaching nobel beliefs, ultimate truth of being;

The quest for the absolute reality;
In search of answers to the questions;
Discovering mental peace, without aggression;
The mystery of life and death.. none can flee ----

Suffering, the fear of the existence;
Desire and ignorance.. it's cause intend;
Concurring with the truth it's end;
Accept the ultimate reality, frees self resistance;

Facing the pain with true knowledge;
Understanding the cycle of change.. would be..!
Being mindful to the true nature of reality;
Actions are results of ones deeds.. just acknowledge;

Things perish, values, beliefs remains;
The Fountain of Knowledge... divine perspicacity...!
In the conditional veracity;
Conscious evolution.. life's joys and pains.

See, know, perceive, understand.. some assurance;
View the reality, the actual state of things;
Nothing is immortal... end of everything;
Path with diligence.. its joyful perseverance..!
