Why Life And Death? Poem by Ramesh T A

The soul departs from the body at an unexpected time
Against all speculations and calculations of experts ever!
The longevity or sojourn in the world can't be controlled
As the brief or long life is not in our hands to decide ever!

Fulfilment comes of achieving desires as one has in world life;
If not, one suffers a lot and even it is supposed that one takes
Many births to fulfil all desires in the world before one thinks
About and prepares oneself to attain moksha at the end sure!

This world is only a temporary abode to feel, think and know
All hardships and happinesses to have a balance in enjoyment
Sans any arrogance and domination to have spiritual fulfilment
So as to have eternal state of bliss quite divine in nature sans end!

Nonattached state of love one has only in eternal space of heaven;
To attain that status all have to undergo all tests in the school here!
