Who I Am? Poem by Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh

Who I Am?

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes I wonder,
Who I am!
My body
made of five elements
(Pancha bhoota)
according to the Upanishads:
Earth, water, air
fire and space.
But who I am
residing in my body?
Although the Scriptures
answered the question
it is a mystery to me
when sometimes
I think about it.

A question worth questioning. No one has the answer. Just to convince self we do many things yet the question stands where it belongs. Thoughtful poem. 10++
