If You Are To Abandon Poem by Gajanan Mishra

If you are to abandon,
Abandon your own eating
Drinking, walking, sitting,
Standing, sleeping and waking.
If you are to abstain
Abstain from actions.
I know you are dumb and deaf
To my words and think no value
And in hurry you relinquish acts
Of sacrifice, gift, penance and pilgrimage.
Let me clear, your internal
Relinquishment is real but
External is showy, temporary
And not real. live with real life, my dear.
