KHADYOT GOGOI Dec 2020
Khadyot Gogoi

When mind pushes the body, there is an opportunity to change direction,
Disaster falls upon when mind drags the body forward.

Trains with locomotives on the back may not have been seen much
The auxiliary engine carries the bogies up on its gradient-
like a faithful friend.

But it is the speed of the engine from the front that Controls the direction of travel.

How much spiritual practice of bodies like this for life
- With imaginary permutations of speed and velocity.

In fact, it is the invisible owner of the track who controls everything that goes on the track.

At some time, even the fastest train has to accept the uncomfortable truths of life. +++
