You Decide Poem by chandra thiagarajan

You Decide

Rating: 5.0


The world
is a reflection
of yourself
Whatever you are
the world would seem
to be
that too

If you are
sad and restless
jealous and angry
dejected and in despair
that is what
the world
would seem
to be.

If you are
in agreement
with yourself
if you are at ease
if you are joyous
if you are at peace
if you are happy
the world
would seem
to be
a paradise.

How you want
your world
to look

You decide!

Saint Kabir said, ' jin khoja tin payeeya' who searched got him. Acharya Rajneesh followed it. who searched got him. but we can not deny the decision of god.
