Giving the hope of future light do not spread darkness in the present! Now the heat is becoming unbearable, tolerance is by and by decreasing in me
Do not burn this life, bring cold water to drink, revive it, mother!"
When from the mother earth's side no solace, no blessings are had, remembering the potter
the pitcher says:
"Have all the abodes of protection
gone away somewhere?
Being the creator and the
292 Silent Soil
upbringer of the pitcher
have even you forgotten him? Now these pranas (vitalities) will not be able to respect any one without drinking water,
i.e.
their departure is definite.
They cannot take the fire test,
a small vow even
appears like a Meru (a mountain) to them,
faith has dwindled,
there is left no curiosity for future life.
Sorry,
now I am thinking
