Spiritual Growth Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

I plant a seed and soon it grows
On taking firm roots,
Then come flowers and fruits.

I share knowledge that he not knows,
And lo, knowledge seeds and grows,
It spreads fair fragrance like a rose.

I smile at him that his way goes,
Who, a return smile to me owes,
And smile's fragrance ah further grows.

To me this growth is spiritual,
One to one and mutual
Life as is perpetual.

Green's not the only thing that grows,
The sole in its long journey grows,
Ignorance from the roots as goes.
