Limitation Poem by Indira Renganathan

What makes you study
This much
Grading up the stairs
Of Degrees..

You want to cross
The ocean by foot..?

Padmapada did it
His Guru Sankara
Blessed him

Even Rama did it
With floating stones
They say

You are not Padmapada
Not Adisankara
Not at all Rama

Perhaps
You want to catch the
Moon
Crossing the ocean
By foot

Indeed limitations
Do help life
To shine

Note: 1 Padmapadacharya was an Indian philosopher, a follower of Adi Shankara.
He was a direct disciple of Shankara

For Padmapadacharya, the Guru is everything and the command of Guru is ultimate.
Once when he was on the opposite bank of a river, Sankara who was on the other side called him,
and Padmapadacharya, without even thinking that he might be drowned
in a swollen river began walking and a lotus appeared on every step
that he would take and hold his feet from drowning - and that is why
he came to be known as Padma-Pada - Lotus - Feet.
His devotion exemplifies the relationship of Guru and Shishya.

2 In Ramayan it is mentioned that the bridge Rama Setu was built by Stones and these stones started floating on water by touch of Nala & Neel.(Architects of Rama Setu)
Some such stones were scattered at Rameswaram during the Tsunami,
these stones still float on water.
