Two Facets
‘Desire' may desire things undesirable
For our heart can be feeble and mind vulnerable
Our saviour can then be the Gita, the Koran or the Bible
That teaches us to detest from things ignoble.
When ‘desire' desires things that are desirable
We should raise its tone, tenor and decibel,
So that the fog clears and the road ahead becomes visible
And we can reach our destination and make things possible.
This is just wonderful. A philosophical message put across so nicely and succinctly through the poem. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to translate this poem
Yes, what you prescribe is the art of having legitimate, dhaarmic desires and pursuing them to fulfilment, knowing full well that the Lord is the result-giver. The essence of the verse karmanyevaadhikaaraste... in Geeta. (10)
