Personal Abacus Poem by Rajnish Manga

Personal Abacus

Rating: 5.0


An antiquated calculating device
We all are endowed with a PA
(PA stands for Personal Abacus)
Depending upon the location
And chronological undulations
Situations change or transform
With each passing moment
Infinite permutations juggle
Countless probabilities struggle
Leaders have their own abacus
Supporters have their own
Opponents have their own
Seeds of desire sown & sprout
Sometimes disappointments
Troll us or calculations extoll
Everyone has his own priorities
Being the drivers of possibilities

The quality of our lives is mostly subjective, apart from a few horrible things. Probability and chance are what we live upon and judge the results of those incidents to measure our lives and success or failure. A fine poem Mr Manga. Thanks for sharing.

The best, the most individualized is our PA paving the way for us through the blind corners and sunny paths of our life. Great poem Rajneesh Ji both in Hindi and in English. A perfect 10.

i think you're using poetic license, because i THINK an abacus only does mathematical calculations. [It's also an architectural feature.] you make it sound more like AI. (Artificial Intelligence]..BUT you ARE a poet, so use poetic license if you wish! ! :) MY " iintelligence" is TOTALLY artificial. bri ;) p.s. i like the poem.

Our desires and aspirations are individualistic, yet, within the sphere of personal priorities, there is a possibility of Unity of spirit. That is what the Vedas and Upanishads speak about. The Personal Abacus is most effectively portrayed, Rajnish ji by you, in this beautiful poem.10+

I agree with your point of view. When we look at things in materialistic terms, we tend to be individualistic but we have to rise above this position to attain greater spiritual goals in line with our Vedic ideals. Thanks a lot for your thoughtful views, Geeta ji.

Quite a thought provoking poem; indeed everyone is different, yet everything happens relative to one another. Nothing is unrelated.

Yes, that is the beauty of our individuality- thinking, calculative, competing yet contributing to a common goal. Thank you, Jasbir ji, for an in-depth feedback on the subject. I am delighted to see you after such a long time.
