Are You A Dancing Dog? Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Are you a dancing dog
In the hands of others?
What do you mean by love?

Love means, remember,
All truthfulness,
All cleanliness,
All mercy,
All gravity,
All intelligence
In true knowledge,
All simplicity,
All fame,
And all forgiveness
And control of the mind
And senses.

Love means life,
Love means living like a tree,
Love means the star that is fixed,
Love means all these qualities
Are there with the progress of
Truth consciousness.
And what is truth?
Truth is like a stream
Of the hill in the dense forest,
You can find only pure water,
There, my dear.
