The Right Time

In the struggle of life I was wholly beaten

Just feeling like I was a puppet in the hand of demon

Time was passing by capturing my life power

Determined I, to die without any fear

Depressed alone I was like a vagabond

Hiding so many painful wounds in my heart

My lovely elder sister was an epileptic patient

And to this my brother was so indifferent

She was swinging between life and death

Doctors said that she had few more breaths

Mournful, desolate my parents appeared

In a moment with gloom their face smeared

I was overcome with a strong emotion of sorrow

And I walked out not to be in morrow

I reached at the Coast of Narmada River

And I was about to end all my fear

Just that moment I heard a voice

Which told me to stop just for a while?

I looked at him he was so bright

Just like a morning star in the darkest night

With a smiling face he came close to me

And indicated his finger at the pretty horizon

He said-“looking at that it seemed as earth and sky met

But they are in real distant and separate

Our relation to death is a little bit like that

We never meet it at all we never come to an end

Our soul is immortal it is a drop of divine sea

From any destructing, evil force this soul is fully free

Believe in that godly divine power my child

Everything happens just for our better

This life we have for fulfilling our duty

Go back to home; your life is others need”

Listening to his words I touched his feet

And dedicated all my tears at his feet

From that day my life has changed so

Every moment to serve human is now my oath

He has given me a noble cause to live

And told how to look life with a different view

In the dark night of depression he was like a hope of ray

He was nobody else but  my guru who showed me the right way
