# A Stubborn Old Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

....and the yielding young... Cheers. Subroto

stubborn is maybe fear of new or change good write

'break it open without fear' You show the path You give courage When you say Break it open You give hope And longing When you say It might be a fruit Inside waitng To be enjoyed You give a dream Could be Pearl too To be treasured for life! So, why fear with you near? The old may be stubborn The new yet holds some Hope of bliss! Angel

A good idea. We are all doing it in our own way. There is only one Absolute truth. The rest is interpretations. Out of these interpretations all sciences, economics, religions, the various streams of life are born. Out of these interpretatrions, we should be able to get at the the Absolute truth. This is most important. We are trying to reach at the Absolute truth chiefly through this objective world and this is our difficulty.
