By Your Example Poem by Dr. Madan Gandhi

By Your Example



Be kind to all beings
they are your kith and kin
adore the Earth as mother

Plant a tree
save the forest wealth
they are your life, your breath

Live simply in company of nature
your most abiding friend
the fountain of happiness and peace

Protect the Earth
its flora and fauna
all ecology to save the planet

Contemplate a mountain
as Lord Shiva Himself seated on Mount Kailash
with His divine escort

Hear the choir of birds over your roof
in the sky and on twigs of trees
in the twilit time of morn your day to begin

Help the needy, feed the hungry
extend your family to include all
erase all borders in your mind

Teach the alphabets of peace to children
for they are the future
the carrier of universal peace

Be honest and upright
live in your deeds what you think and feel
by your example let you shine bright.
(Yayati)
