Take Me To Nirvana

Siddhartha, a young prince, with earthly life unsatisfied, Left the palatial joys seeking enlightenment, worldwide. Meditating in wild woods for long, he got his mind trained; From Bodhi tree he walked toward the world, wisdom gained...! Life is full of pains, he said, caused by ignorant desires, Detachment to mundane things would ignite divine fires. Right view, intention, effort, speech, action and livelihood, With concentration on conscience each must live as they should...! Extinguishing the birth-death course of human existence, Buddha adopted Nirvana, whose path of consistence, Intermingled in pathways of Hinduism and Jainism, Made his faith of life, which, later came to be the Buddhism...! Nirvana is peace; absolute happiness; endless joy; No birth, death or judgment for one, after this, to annoy; It's like the fire extinguished getting mixed with the air, Or like rivers released the motherly sea's waters share...! Experiencing eternal bliss I'll stay; take me there. The obstacle arising on my-way, I'll gladly bear. Beyond hatred, ignorance and illusion may I go, That reaching the goal of life, my fulfillment will aglow...! 08 September 2022
