Glimpses of Sentiments
KEEP ATLEAST HALF OF DEMANDS OF MY MIND
Oh spontaneously joyful ! If you do not give your incomparable, unique unparalleled joy it is alright, but atleast give me unsuppresible attraction towards
If I do not get affluence of virtues, it is alright, but atleast give me intensive desire for it. If you do not meet me personally, it is alright, but atleast you give me your permanent address. If my anger does not get pacified, it is alright, but atleast reduce its partiality If my evils do not exit completely, it is alright but atleast break their attachments. If you do not meet demands of my soul for virtues it is alright. A demand of pleasant conveniences of the body, demands of facilities of the senses, demands of uncontrolled behaviour of the mind you may keep unsatisfied. A righteous, virtuous path may remain closed for me, atleast open the path of righteous approach. You may not reduce troubles of unhappiness, but remove that intensive attachment of remaining only in state of happiness. You may not force me to sacrifice greed but let some interest arise for leaving the greed. If my death does not stop it is alright but atleast improve my state in death, even if you do not improve me. If you do not make me virtuous it is alright; atleast you make me loving noble virtues.
