Live a Moment

Looking here and there, striving for rapture... Went to friends, they said get rich, enjoy luxury, Pleasure is the means of joy... Not really!! So knocked the doors of sages and saints, Same old preaches from sacred books, Nothing new; seek refuge of God, Get blessings for blissful life... Not impressive!! Then went knocked door of God... God reluctantly sobbed “I gave you life and things to live. Go back; Find yourself what you want”.... Discosolated finding no hopes!! Sat lonely under the tree... Watching child hitting stick on ground, Enjoying the sound, Was busy so much cared none except a stick and sound... What Taught me!! Bliss lies in our mind, stick was only tool to turn on... Need no extra strain!! A simple stick was child's joy... I learned Enjoy each moment, Whenever, whatever, wherever we find... Child had in mind, live the moment... What others failed, was a lesson taught by child... Found what I looked for!! Purity, innocence are mantras, The path to live blissful life... © Sadashivan Nair
