Deliverance Poem by Jay P Narain

An age old dilemma,
Sages and humanity wonders aloud,
The death will get us the deliverance from the body,
But how would I set my soul free?

Scientifically the day we die, everything ends,
The ashes to ashes we meet, the life ends.
Philosophically we wonder, is there a life after the death?
Whatever the soul is, would it find a refuge?

Sometimes I wonder, what should I do to get the deliverance?
Writing love poems with foot dangling in grave, is that an answer?
Reading Holy books and visiting holy shrines, would that be the way?
Helping people and sharing their pain, would that deliver my soul?

Answers people have sought for centuries,
No one has shown the clear way,
If we knew, what kind of deliverance we seek,
The soul would find its own way of seeking Niravana and peace.
