These Guavas You Have Offered Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
These Guavas You Have Offered
Oh dear fellow teacher, oh dear friend,
I am your guest today, I am in visit,
I know you are hurry to greet me soon,
Boon you have gained from God in life.
I know you want to offer me food and tea,
But I do not take oily food as I am cautious,
I am not habituated in taking tea and coffee,
There is no need to prepare anything for me.
Before few hours I have taken zero oil food,
Preparing at my home and I have taken bread,
Our food is of spiritual nature free from spices,
Good for meditation is pure food that vibrates.
Humbly I request you not to be worried for me,
Please sit near we shall talk, long after retirement,
You are not agreed; still you offer guavas I accept,
These are very fresh fruits in your garden tree I love.
Yours offering of guavas washing in well water,
I shall offer these to God and take with much care,
Your home garden guavas are really very tasty,
Oh dear friend you are nice, guava benefits health.

Guavas are tasty. I love these. Greatest happiness we get remaining with God. We search for eternal happiness and we get this. God teaches us righteousness. Thank you very much for sharing this. You are a nice poet. This poem is excellent poem.
We visit our friends to sit and chat, and to renew our friendship from time to time! During such meetings, food is not the priority....! Some people won't be available even to talk in their hurry to prepare a banquet! Then the purpose of our visit is squashed...! Having some home grown fruit is very enjoyable! Guavas are so lovely! Even I love guavas......ripe enough and crunchy....!
True friendship is like healthy food it helps us in emotional nourishment and makes us happy to have a bond with a friend, to bare our souls, to ask for advice, to give our own wisdom and to care for one another! Beautiful, uplifting poem!
Our food is of spiritual nature free from spices, Good for meditation is pure food that vibrates- - - - - - - - - - - - - - You so often have a stunning observation in each of your poems that touch on our soul's relationship with God. I love these lines. I must asmit though that I have never eaten a guava... Thanks for the good read, my friend..

Yes indeed, the food is not so important, it is the love and care shown behind it, Reading this I'm reminded of the words of Krishna in B Geeta: patram pushpam falam toyam.... As to what ye should offer to me, a leaf or flower is enough, just a fruit, or nothing but water... if offered with love. This lovely poem reflects this sentiment.
