Glimpses of Sentiments
SECRETS OF YOUR LIFE ARE QUITE ASTONISHING
Oh idol of Sobriety! When I come to your royal court, one quote comes to my mind. "Whosoever comes one step near you, to him you reach taking ninety nine steps". T have been coming to you since many days, many months and many, many years. By walking even my soles have been worn out. At times even blood is oozing from my feet. But, you did not come one step near me. On the contrary, when I work diligently to come near you, more and more you go away from me. I shout, loudly but you do not even stop there. You continue to run more speedily. When I got entrapped in a whirlpool of lust, then how I had shouted! When I fell in a gutter of guilts and evil virtues had I not cried loudly your name ! When'chandalanger was slaughtering me what kind of terrifying noise I had made. When 'MAYA' serpent gave me a poisonous bite I had cried sobbing heavily. And yet, you just did not come to help me. Despite seeing that you even did not stop. Despite hearing my shout, you ran away! And yet you are being called an ocean of compassion! an ocean
