Dr. A. R. Rao
The surest - And the most
inevitable,
For all the living - Is Death.
Unannounced - It comes,
Keep yourself ready always.
Desire not Death - nor welcome It,
But accept it - when It shows itself.
Death is a misnomer
Birth, Life, Death - mere words,
Coined by man - In his ignorance.
Unreal - are they,
Mere experiences of the Perishable Body.
“We” Exist - “We” Exist always - Forever.
True! change our “Homes” – “We” do.
Perhaps – our “Forms” and “Garbs” too!
But change - “We” do not,
“We” remain as “We” are.
“We” Exist - Somewhere. - if not here.
In the vast Expanse of the Universe.
In planets - In stars - In Space
Eternally - Here - There - Somewhere.
A continuous story - It is,
A never - ending Book - It is,
“Our Universal Existence”.
This life on earth - Is but one chapter therein,
Chapter after chapter
- At different places – “We” write
Every Chapter - A new story - we think
Every chapter - A different story - we fancy
But no –
The story is the same - A long one
The book is the same - A big one
The author too is the same - An eternal one.
The previous chapters - We forget.
Where “We” have written, What” We” have
written.
It is Spiritual Amnesia.
Again and again - To
this Earth – “We” come back
New form – “We” enter,
New chapter – “We” write,
No end to this story - A continuous story - It is,
No finish to this book - A never - ending book –
“Our Universal Existence”.
