Appreciate Criticism Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Appreciate criticism
Friday,26th Nov 2021
Keep morning prayers
as purifiers for your soul
as it will guide your conscience
to do the right things
bow down your head
internal voice shall be heard
to do no wrong
and seek blessings in devotional songs
praise no one
or seek from known people
it shall give you the false impression
for being a reasonable or good person
prefer critics nearby
or as a friendly neighbour
who shall always be pointing out your wrongs
and stand as a bigger opponent among
we love to hear sweet words
but that mars our forward march
and prevents us from reaching the goal
and finally causes our fall
