Our Troubles

Life is a continuous journey beset with troubles So long we live in this universe, Trouble becomes part and parcel of human experience Life swings like a pendulum, One moment swings towards favourable conditions; That brings name,fame,gain,praises and merriment; At another moment,unfavourable conditions curse, Welcoming the loss,ill-fame,blame and pain Panic no more! Understand there are ways to clear sufferings, None is hopelessly condemned to eternal misery, Unless he himself allows it to be so. Give away your realization to realise critically, That all conditioned phenomenon like sufferings and troubles, Arises not by the way of independent causes, But it arises out of ones causes. We can put an end to every form of sufferings, It is by discovering the root causes of troubles Do not disheartened by these futile miseries, Instead act wisely in overcoming them, No worldly-minded person are from suffering There are no differences between wise and unwise, But the manner in which he faces them differs. Socrates, once faced his hot tempered wife's insults; Defending her false accusation in a humorous way Like Tagore prayed not to be shielded from dangers, But to become fearless in facing it. The great Buddha taught the world, That sorrows are caused by our own actions, And arise from our own ignorance. Buddha showed how to remove sorrow, But ourselves must work to gain happiness Mind is the forerunner of all states Mind is chief;mind-made are these states Was what Buddha had preached to his followers. Like prophet Muhammad accept faith as strength; Adopting sorrow as a friend; Using knowledge as a weapon; And transforming patience as Garb and Virtue Then the troubles will soon pass; What had caused you to burst in tears today, Will be forgotten tomorrow curving smiles on your face. Do not let the past spoil your present happiness, Whatever our troubles,however pressing they maybe, Time will heal our wounds, But besides leaving things to time, It is ourselves to protect from hurting. Maintain the peace in our mind Don't allow people or troubles to drain energy away, Since it is ourselves who creates our happiness not others.
