God's Children - Jains Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

God's children-Jains
Tuesday,25th August 2020

We are God's children
so call ourselves as Jain
and maintain
the spirit of Jainism

not only in our approach
but we preach
the spread of non-violence
and live with peace

not in thoughts alone
we have gone further
in protecting even tiny insects
and never adhere to violent acts

mainly we are in business
but always follow the trueness
purify ourselves by fasting regularly
and pray the God daily

we have no gods
but 24 God's messengers
we worship as our religion existed B.C
even though in the minority, we insist pure life

we believe in non-violence
and follow it since
it has remained our faith
and it shall remain till death

Dr Jadia Hasmukh
