So good, you're praying for hitting jackpot,
But, buy a ticket at the racing spot!
The timid bashful lotus, the mud born, Reached the palm of the Lord*, by devotion. (* Hindu God Vishnu, the second among the Trinity, is depicted as holding a full bloom lotus on his right palm.)
Formless god is difficult to conceive
Formation of the formless is defective.
God, like spice to the soup,
Adds flavour to life's scope.
For all our deeds, let Him be patron;
For he shall, all our mistakes, pardon.
Partha* prayed unto the Lord to be his charioteer;
Whom do you opt to drive yours thro' the future?
(* Another name for Arjuna, the warrior hero of Hindu
scripture, Mahabharata)
Rituals are based on solid truth;
The faithless find it all mere stealth.
"Man proposes but God disposes", an adage;
If proposal be divine, even God will budge.
All the bank balance you have piled up
Can't tilt His balance when you are called up.
Only at the hour of calamity
We all seek helping hand of Almighty!
