Attach Not Too Much Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Attach not yourself
Too much to
These worldly things,
They are not yours
And you are to go
Leaving all here.

Be not proud of anything
Or for anyone as
They are not yours,
They are ready to
Offend and if time
So permits they are
Ready to kill you
For their self-interest.

The truth of the world
Is that, the principle of
Struggle for existence
Is there as before and
Time is there to test you.
Be cautious for time,
Time has nothing with it
But impartiality and
All that are in no way
Helpful to anyone.

Wipe out that are
With you, my dear and
Stay aloof from all.
Neither you are superior
Nor you are inferior,
You are also not yours,
Just imagine the things
That are happening with a tree
And with water and the earth.
Tolerate all and fly
Life a bird in open sky.
