The Transformation Poem by Ravi Panamanna

(Recited at our 'Citizen SBI' two days interactive session on 10/11/2009. This two days workshop actually helps one to rediscover the inner personality and the perennial inner resources that lie dormant in us with which one can really meet all challenges in life. Ramana Maharshi asked us to find out the answer for 'Who am I'? The same question is also asked here. In a way, the theme of the poem is something universal and hence the importance for posting it for public view) .

As we leave these corridors
Our inner treasures are really more.
After these interactive sessions
We have now a perennial vision.

As citizens of this institution
We gather the spirit of transformation.
This is indeed a clear message,
This is doubtless an adage.

The core of our heart let us pour,
Hitherto prejudices let us into past throw.
Let our warmth reach every sphere,
Let us together, sincerely for the flight prepare.

Let us feel for our job
Let us not simply sit and sob.
Before us is a great challenge,
Let us imbibe the spirit of adventure.

Let us feel for the transformational values,
Let us, the citizens feel for a valuable world.
Each one is capable of flight, has his wings
And together shall we take our world to immeasurable horizons.
