Glimpses of Sentiments
MY PAST IS SEEN
Oh worth Surrendering Affectionate one ! In your pure knowledge I see my past, absolutely terrifying and full of miseries. How much torchure and affliction ? Absolutely repulsive past. Like a football, the past without any direction. Like fire-coals reddish past. Like a chilly very hot in taste, such past. More cruel than even wild animals; such past. Like animals without any control; the past roaming here and there. Like handicapped animals, very pitiable my past. Although very pitiable and worthy to receive compassion, my past which just could not become pure and empty vessel to receive your grace. Even more black than a coal and with haphazard colours-badwicked- evil - broken- shattered; such was my past. Without any essence-without- wisdom-, without purity withoutvirtues- such a dangerous past. Full of cruelty, full of pouring poisonlike evil such was my past. Becoming like a deer, on many occasion I have been chewed, I have been eaten in the mouth of a lion in the past. Becoming a goat I was pressed in the mouth of a tiger in the past. Becoming grass I have been also eaten by cows.
