A Pious Pursuit Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

The blowing of winds, trembling of leaves,
Waves of water, chirping of birds,
Movements of innocent babes and beasts,
Beauty of flowers and moonlit nights, and
Existence of the living and non-living entities
Are eternal educators
And the messengers of Eternity.
They lead us to the pious pursuit
Of the mysteries of Nature
And divine knowledge.
That kingdom of Delight
Entails our surrender
To His lotus feet
Without attaching to our acts
And approaching our Master
Who keeps on waiting
To welcome us in His sovereignty
Where successful entry
Can reserve an eternal seat
Close to His splendid throne
And liberate us from the bond of rebirth.
