Strive For Immortality
The knowledge that you gained
The money that you amassed
The fame that you won
Would be left behind
The body thinking of which you spend your life
The family for which you dedicated your life
The world which you gave more importance than self
Would be left behind
Everything is dynamic everything transient
Every second a new world born
Nothing is permanent everything dying
With death all left behind
Attached to temporary objects
Our self lost in serving them
When will we live for self?
Attached to fleeting thoughts
Swaying with them
Living in emotions, forgetting the moment
One day we disappear from the scene
That which remains is soul
Waiting for new skin
A new picture
Our good deeds remembered
But of no value to us
As soul we regret forgetting self
Based on karmas another birth
Endless cycle of mortal life
Regretting every time at death
Stupidity going on since eternity
Why not end this movie once for all
Think and live for soul
Liberate it through salvation
Use brains for something worthwhile
Reflect on your real goal in life
All scriptures state the same
All cannot be wrong at the same time
If you feel they are not right,
Is attachment to temporary things right?
Is having expectations from uncertain right?
Living for selfish humans who use you
Cry how they'll survive when you die
Not much enjoying
is this intelligent living?
Is this right?
Isn't world selfish? Isn't all transitory?
To be attached to mortal world
is it not stupidity?
Seek that which is immortal
Attach to it for eternal benefit
Serve it, please it, become immortal
