No Harm No Wound

It was holy traveling Suddenly I decided after getting up from the long night sleeping, Over phone I fixed the time of going out I never visited the holy shrine before Amazing, strange, solemn environment all to me Top of the hill the saintly shrine is Since indefinite time alone all around forest silently there was It was said once the saint accomplished spiritual contemplation on there No sounds, no population but birds chirping from far When I was going to up by the muddy stairs of the hilly body Suddenly four dogs came and escorted me and my friend After visiting and praying in the shrine I felt hungry Found not there the dogs but miraculously an unfamiliar person asked to share with him his meal! O' it's maybe called God's blessings and help in terrible far alone Whatever, on the way back we saw a snake in the middle of the stairs Dark black, fatty, long and brown eyes snake We'd no idea and We’re still unknown to it My friend afraid of it and went back few steps up I felt also back to the shrine But I gathered courage and thought- “I'm not harmful to anyone and anything So, why does this snake harm me or barricade my path?" Generated courage forwarded us to march ahead We found the snake moved aside instinctively 12.07.2020 Chattogram

Intriguing penning of your experience at the shrine Mahtab… Ancient Sage of my Tradition has it that it's not the snake that kills. Rather it's the evil that the person has done that kills.... Food for thought. Thanks, Gershon
