ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:45: AM I INCLUDED OR NOT ?
Oh Well wisher of the world! "The welfare of all the lives is written by your hand. It is carved in your heart." I have heard so. But I want to ask you that in all those am I included or not? If my welfare is in your hands and heart why at each and every step, something goes wrong? Why havelbecome like a risky mugician, a trader of unhappiness, a terrifying juggler, ? Instead of coming near you, why am I going far away ? Instead of in a lane of light why am I wandering in a lane of darkness? Why again and again dol become a victim of desires and greed? in the heart, instead of getting wet why am I getting dried up? Instead of the tide of emotions why is there an ebb in that ? Why on all the four sides I feel, you are missing? I have really got such severe shocks. When my running around in this world will stop ? When shall I become an idoit in the worldly affairs ? Otherwise a meeting with you seems impossible. As gift, as my offering this life is at your feet. Now will you not do my welfare ? Will you not save me from disadvantage ?
