Just Thinking

It just got me thinking That I can choose to Just let go Of the crown that adorns my head And to shed off the robe of purity Which envelops my body Just to sink into the sinful sea So as to enjoy in the material world All the comfort that my frail body needs! The virtue with which I perfume myself Has turned odourless The principles that I consume Have turned tasteless And the celestial abidance that I pray to Has chosen to leave my altar! And it all got me thinking That I will have to keep on Toiling and sweating And doing such, with the spirit Of a saint Can get quite tough As tough as would be Flying a plane in the midst of A powerful typhoon! The idea of presenting myself, all bared To life, to love, to use and to enjoy As it would deem it best Got me thinking of how Pleasurable it would all be And of how dull it is While being all clad up in all sorts Of virtuous principles! It just got me thinking But thoughts, as long as they remain so, Bring no change and lead nowhere While actions, Always open up new doorways, Leading to new sceneries! Written on 26th Dec 2020
