The Philosophy of Living

It is in India the sages of yore sang hymns
In their contemplative musings, profound
The maxims for the survival of human race
Who hold relevance more in the present time
Than, when, they were first sung mystically.

During the transcendental flights, when 
Their minds soared beyond the realms 
Of the mundane world; the predictable
They came out with the life sustaining
Inspiring chant: Love, Live and Let live.

Humanity today is reeling under disorder
Going through a precarious time in history
Searching for lasting solutions, worthwhile
The only mode for its salvation satisfactory	
Is unquestionably; the uplifting Indian way.
