Essence

Isn't the thing that makes a thing a thing that thing's essence? Concrete being within the being which is quintessence; Atman, the nucleus, is the essence of human life, That protects, like a shield, the human selves from every strife...! Jesus Christ, the Lord, is the essence of the Christian way, Mystical asceticism makes our minds in truth to sway; Service to the beings becomes the essence of great saints, Way to perfection leads to joy, though has many constraints...! The sun and the moon shine with the brightness of their being, A flower blooms and sheds its scent at everyone's seeing; Each being in its consciousness lives and lets live others, This is how the universe goes on though no one bothers...!!!
