Never Die Until You Die (An Inspiration) Poem by Arun Maji

Never die o man,
never die until you die.

Dying is beautiful.
But dying while living is ugly.
Frighteningly ugly!

It took God aeons,
and evolution millions of years;
to create you, as you are today.
Don't let them down
by dying while living.

Do whatever you want to do.
But go all they way, all the way.
Even if it means,
giving your flesh and blood,
sleep and shelter,
song and laughter.

Working hard is not enough.
Give your passion, your heart, your soul, your dream.
Give all, all.

If you extract passion out of a human,
what is it, he left with?
Nothing. Nothing but a piece of decaying flesh.

If you want to love, love.
Love until your soul cries, heart stops.
Is any death more beautiful
than the death
while dreaming beautiful eyes of your love?

Who cares, if you are not loved in return?
You love, because you want to love.

You do things, because you love to do them.
Not because, you expect praise from others.

Does anyone ever pat Sun's back?
None, none ever.
Yet, Sun shines while burning himself to death.

Does anyone ever
send a letter of gratitude to moon?
None, none ever.
Yet, moon smiles through her tears.
They do things, because they love to do them.

They are free, they are happy.
Freedom equals happiness.
Freer you are from all bondage and slavery,
happier you are in life.

Do whatever you want to do.
But do it with all passion.

It's the journey that is so magnificent,
not the destination.
Destination is an illusion.
There is nothing called destination.
What you think as destination today,
you will find it, as beginning of another journey tomorrow.

Walk and walk alone,
don't even bother of destination.
Walk,
but never forget to sing and dance while walking.

Who knows how long the walk would be!
You may not wake up tomorrow, to walk again.
So, sing now, dance now; while you still walking.

If you are son of God
then why beg mercy from another man?
If you have to beg, beg it from divinity.
if you have to bow down, bow down before Him.
Never beg from a beggar.

Be bold, be generous, be loving.
This whole world is yours,
write your name on it.

Never die o man,
never die until you die.
