Notes About The Poem

Ardhnarishwar sketch by renowned Artist SR Mehta

The Rot Has Sunk In Deep

Self appraising himself as a monk awake, immune from life's outcomes, always elated, he woke up one morning and began to shake, quaking in fear, so had to be sedated. No longer could he be placid like a lake, for his feeble form's gender was rotated! The roots of conditioning go in quite deep, so it's best we assume nothing; let grace seep. 11-October-2022

Yes! A naughty one but it just shows we’re in bondage even if we think we aren’t
