Glimpses of Sentiments
DO YOU WANT TO TRADE ?
Oh Supreme Donor ! Today I want to demand something from you. I do not want to demand anything free. I want to demand after giving something to you. I am not absolutely a beggar; you see. I have many things worth giving to you; devotion, sentiments, prayers, feelings, love, tears, waiting ---- There are many such things with me. I want to offer all these things at your feet. All these things are invaluable. Their market value may be nothing. But their real value is very inmeasurable. It is not the slightest cheap. Yet in exchange of all those things I want to do trading with you. Do you agree? In the exchange of my tears you get me joy of worship. You remove joy of all attachments. In the exchange of pious, pure prayers you give me your joy of remaining virtuous, you put an absolute cut in my joy in evils. In the exchange of my emotional devotion, you shower your soul's joy upon myself. You immediately burn my joy in materialistic wealth. In the exchange of sweet sentiments you give me joy of righteous feelings, emotions, You put an absolute cut upon joy of evil
