________________
The downward-looking life becoming upward-looking
rises;
the helpless, defeated life even becomes helping.
The visitors
get ideals here.
Centuries old complicated
historical problems
get solved easily in a moment
in this company.
And,
those desirous of simple, sweet
culture
get advice here
without demanding.
The 'sword' and the 'ink',
the 'farming', and the 'asceticism'
too,
get some such aphorisms,
that unselfish ones they get authoritative here!
Lo, the soil has been unloaded
now in the upasrama,
soon a sieve of thin wires
is brought
and the soil is being filtered.
