DIGNITY IN DEPTH
(Bijoylakshmi Das, 31st Dec 2019)
A Message of deep Love in Divinity
to one and all.

O Loiterer of the Land of the Ephemeral!
How can you reach Eternity?
Your periphery is limited,
Wisdom in ******* to flesh and body!!!
Love is confined to Lust
So much mundane, so earthly!
You are the crawling insects of dust.
How can you scale the heights of Infinity?
Your choice lingers in the finite
From one to another every minute,
Ever fleeting!
Bliss is Daydream for you,
Passions unsatiated served in your plates as your choicest recipee!!!
True Love is far receding,
Ashamed to come near you
With its inherent Dignity.
Love is wrapped around you -
In each and every part of your human history.
Do you know
Each and every moment of your life
Have been looked after by the -
Unseen Eyes beyond all limits of mystery.
How can you roam free -
With tons of loads of Ego
and Vanity?
Your pleasures profuse
The mansion you build around
Could they ever give you Peace profound -
To live in the Universe
In universal Harmony?

Your Body is a tabernacle
To enshrine the One Divine.
It too is a vehicle
To give expression to senses' destiny:
Creation's evolution deathless, evolving.
Even to go beyond that
Are you ready?
Do you live in Dignity?
You are utterly ephemeral
How can you reach Eternity?
(Bijoylakshmi Das, Puri, Odisha.)
