Karma

Am I, at any split-second, with no action?
My breathing and sleeping are my karma as well;
Karma is my physique-psyche interaction,
In it, there's the participation of each cell...!

Nishkama Karma or action without desire,
Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita teaches;
Till we, from our tentative existence, retire,
This wraps us till our soul the final goal reaches...!

Karma of time, place, family, and each person,
Each one proceeds from the past, present, and future;
When our inborn conscience and consciousness worsen,
It tries to stitch truths together like a suture...!

It's, indeed, karma that keeps the beings going,
Isn't the action that makes streams and rivers flowing...???
