Poem
Indra knew this very well that What ever may be the immense charms of heaven Hidden in it’s never ending joys, songs and pleasures There was no match with that of the earthly happiness Which is found like a blooming Rose bud Opening its charms and joyful petals of fragrance and beauty Surrounded all around with thrones like Pains, sufferings and sorrows of life But once you possess it, facing the piercing thorns You bloom in a rare heavenly joy and pleasure Which even can not be dreamed of by those Who dwells in the never ending and fading joys of heaven Indra found that there was no way to stop The throbbing heart of Urveshi for that boatman And for his heart touching melodies, Floating both on earth and heaven Finding no way out, He thought to put a condition So that Urveshi may not go finding out That a visit to earth could end her permanent stay in heaven For ever and for ever without any returning Indra cautioned Urveshi That if she is determined to go to earth She may go to listen the melodies of that boatman But she should not go close to that boatman And should not touch his body Or else, she would not be able to return to heaven As her single touch to any human would make her An Earthly body, which would be subject to Life and death and mortality He again tried to convince Urveshi Your love for the boatman and his earthly body Can bring an end of your tenure in heaven Still, if you decide to be a part of that life I will not stop you to visit the earth, But You will miss for ever and for ever, your heavenly abode And your, never ending joys and pleasures of heaven The moment you will adopt the earthly pleasure You will be doomed for a normal life and death As it is availed by humans living on earth Think Urveshi think again Can you dare to miss the heavenly comforts? Its non-ending joys, songs, mirth and pleasures Where pains and sufferings are not even known Can you really afford to live on earth, like a normal human? Where one faces only pains and sufferings Throughout his life and ends one day in spite of all strife’s Ravindra to continue......
