Practical Hindu  Philosophy  in few verses

By

(I read this in tamil   but  though  great it was  not written properly  ,I am trying to write  it in English   using my own words. Thanks   to the original author)

If we who sprouted   from the  earth ,

Do not know  God who made us sprout ,

Necessarily  we  have to go back again,

To the earth    from where   we  came

On stage   we say  all religions are Okay,

But  till  we  finally go  to our final place,

WE normally    say  that our religion only  is great ,

And aim  to destroy , all those who walk on road.

In spite  of reading   any number   of Sastras,

To fill up the pot in the body called belly,

 WE either   have to beg food  from some people ,

Or we have  to snatch  it from someone.

Though  God   has given everything   free  to us,

WE make everything   that we  see  as ours,

Kill  all those   who  claim  it  as theirs and oppose  us,

Without  knowing  that always  death is waiting for us.

Making  one being    as food,

To another  is the rule of earth.

Some   of it   would  happen to us,

But we would not be able to see  many.

The  one  who   does  not know this  and wanders ,

Talking some non sense  is like  a  wick of the  lamp,

Without oil    which  burns    for a little time ,

And is completely   put  out.

To send  any  satellite    in to the sky ,

By making it free from gravity we need an airship,

And  to make  ourmind peaceful ,

we  need an airship called   human body.

After    we send the airship ,

In the sky  , the airship would fall down,

Similarly   after  getting rid of attachment,

This   body also    would  follow on earth

Till plants produce seed , they will germinate,

Till  desire  is there among beings , they would be born,

They would definitely experience   joy and sorrow.

The universe   would  be perplexed not knowing why.

The God who created us  and who is within our mind  are same,

Once you know God well, you would realize that  all are same,

But  instead of that  , if one  keeps on doing research on God,

You cannot avoid   being victim of death   again and again.

Untill and unless   we   realize   within ourselves,

That   the   stars    which shine   in the sky  ,

And the various beings that  live in earth are same  .

The crop called love would not grow in your mind

If love is there   in the heart  ,

Sweetness  will spread in your  words and acts.

But if   the arrows called hatred  come out of it,

Only pain would remain.
