The Puzzle -Part-2 Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik

</>Then onwards I found many selfish mean minds
Out of others' loss their joy they derived.
They thought of themselves as smart ingredients
Capable of rupturing the souls most eminent.

Facing turmaoil quite often by dint of innocence
I lost from my mind contentments' presence.
I had to act then against self conscience
To avoid from my life broken heart's grievance.

Oh lord blame me not for this transformation
In the universe from celestial to worldly man,
When both of these are your won creations
Can you too give a reason for this discrimination?

When to the lord Chitragupta in the dream I queried
I found him dumb for a while & totally puzzled.
With a gesture of warmth in his sparkling eyes
Said he, my son, this is life & you have to enjoy.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik.
(Note: Lord Chitragupta keeps the record of sins &
noble acts committed by each man accorind to
Hindu mythology)
