Be Thou Guru Thine Own Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Guru's words go till gate,
Scriptures meet the same fate.
‘Go thence whence greats have gone,
‘Tread what they have trodden',
Holy books for years hail,
But great tail's what we tail.

There's no dearth of such souls,
Nor yet of given goals,
Gurus gather their grade
Multi-millions get made,
One such man1 when he said,
Be thou self-made, self-led.

To his words we gloated,
And many made a grade,
But Buddha too had said
The same thing I'm afraid,
But he'd no millions made,
And here I end with dread!
