Anil Deo Poet Alliteration

Biggest Secret and Biggest Challenge

I
Before Jesus I loved Veda and Vairagya
Detach here, attach to Transcendental there
Practice with people, prophesying Jesus:
Do not JUDGE. But how to avoid such?

II
Buddhism bestowed the key, as Paul
Did in Epistles. Reading Romans 12
"Renew your mind, do not conform -
Be transformed." Mindfulness my gain
And complaint: I ought to see, sense, hear
Still not put labels to lots of stimuli? No

III
Yes, I fail. Especially education is
All about labels and labeling: no name
Means we have no handle. So why not
Go on doing life without labeling? Alone;
Is the only way. Detach, then attach:
I tried once with a prof. "I won't tell
My name. You'll forget anyway." Youth!

I imagine u know it's famed literacy, diversity, & connexion to Apistles Thomas, Syrian Ch., coexistence
