A Frog In The Well – II

Like the well frog only the material world
He knows and nothing else in the world;
The matter only he minds, mind he matters not
And the spirit he bothers no more in life.
Madly in pursuit of matter he loses youth,
Greys and grows old very soon in life!

During the pursuit of the spirit he gets heart pain
Missing the youthful time very much;
Beating in void his heart rages with madness
And dies he in vain too soon unfortunately!
This is the frog story of the material man
In the modern world today due to materialism.

But there are also many men who live and die
Like the stone lying in the well forever!
Above all where is the man who thinks to know
Whether he does as human being or otherwise?
As a human being does he live emotionally his life?
As a human being does he think intellectually about his life?
As a human being does he explore spiritually his soul?
If he does so he knows how to come out of the well
And go to the world he loves most in his heart.

Modern man is madly after money to do anything;
Money, drinks and dames are what life is all to him;
And so, heart, mind and soul he does not care about.

Today like a frog, man is busy with his own well activities;
Or like a sailing crew he has to brave against destiny in the sea;
If lucky, a light house can show the direction to reach the shore;
Otherwise only a miracle can save him from the mire he is in.

Braving the waves and reaching the shore is a rare thing indeed;
But the shore should be the proper place of his destination;
If not, he has to reach the top of the light house to know his world;
Also, intuitionally he should visualise the way to reach that world!
