beginning and an end! Hence,
O golden urn!
You are like a torch
having filthy intentions
and
the clay pitcher
is like a lamp showing the path, destroyer of darkness,
courageous, characterised with soul!"
The golden urn felt insulted
on made analogous with a torch. The clay pitcher took a deep breath condemning himself
that the one-eyed pen has done a hateful act by way of his praise,
he too proved guilty as was made a factor in another's censure;
then,
started a prayer to the Lord:
"These poor promising ones
have undergone parabhava (humiliation) in births after births.
374 Silent Soil
Now,
when will they experience
'para' (supreme) bhava (becoming) ... ?
Is it possible or not
in near future?
Tell without delay, Lord!
