The Ramakrishna’s teachings
The visits to pilgrim centers,
The Eastern-Western culture,
All shaped Narendra’s basic nature.

Up to the tail end of the South,
Narendra took a study tour
Of different places all over.

At the India’s tail end,

Allowed Disciple Narendra
To have his own convictions
And free talks on religions.

The defilement of earthly existence,

"What for you're here? "

For Louise, as a housewife,
With her immature children
And husband, unhelpful one.

Their head load of wood,
And came to the same spot,
To take back Bernadette.
