LIFE IS LIKE THAT
Sugarcane has sugary juice
But no flower or fruit to cherish.
Gold has glitter and shines
But it has no fragrance.
Sandal has enchanting odour
But has no beauty like a flower.
Ocean is so vast
But water is full of salt.
River water is pure and fresh
But keeps flowing towards the sea.
Sun is hot and bright
But not cool enough.
Moon is cool and pleasant
But has no heat.
Lotus is sacred and has beauty
But it stays and grows in filth.
Intelligent has much knowledge
But has no wealth.
King is powerful
But doesn't enjoy long life.
If some have good qualities
They also have weaknesses.
Some have lot of money
But no peace of mind.
If some have power
They don't have opportunities.
God has created this cosmos
Nothing prides by its qualities.
Nature is like that
Nothing is complete by itself.
When incomplete we realise other's needs
And extend our helping hands.
Weakness and shortcomings
Actually help us grow in stature.
