If one finds that innocent humans and humane faces are turning evils,

In the event that today’s scientific knowledge makes the life of humans and humane faces dull and mechanical,
If one watches that Nature is losing Her charm,
As long as one understands that ‘human’, the best creation of Nature, is nowhere near the term,
Assuming one experiences that the Universal Music is falling into chaos,
If one observes that the garment of virtue is getting defaced and destroyed,
In the event that one discovers that today’s civilization is suffocating humanity,
If one realizes that storms destroy flowers, not the seed,

If humans and humane faces apprehend that bullying, ragging, acid-throwing, molesting or raping is worse than carnage,

As long as one becomes conscious of the fact that adulteration is worse than a genocidal massacre,

If one does not forget to register that producing plastic products is hurting Mother Nature,

As long as one spots and stumbles over lingual, gender, social, racial, class, etc. discrimination,

If one encounters gender, class, educational, structural, racial, social, economic, regional, global, sectarian, etc. inequality,

As long as one unearths that the many are consumed or driven by pure greed and selfishness,

Assuming use-and-throw attitude of people upsets one,

As long as one disinters that pure selfishness is the root cause of very many evils,

If one sees that a couple of hours’ thirst or a couple of days’ hunger removes the difference between the haves and the have-nots,

As long as one pinpoints that people overlook the faults of their dear ones,

If one realizes that the same people condemn others for the same faults,

As long as one learns that corruption or corrupted creatures threaten the very fabric of society,

If one wishes to be a victim of a lion or a tiger before making a cow or a lamb one’s own victim,

As long as one reasons that a disposed case may not mean justice,

If one feels that justice denied or delayed is injustice inflicted,

As long as one espies that one’s tongue, the only one, is accompanied and guarded by three wonderful couples,

If the perfect couples, two ears, two eyes and two nostrils, teach one the value of silence,
As long as one thinks that Voice is quiet, but noise is deafening,

If one finds out that people dream or crave alike, whether they sleep on bare earth or on a soft silken bed,

As long as one’s findings lead one to the understanding that all are equal,

If one perceives that popularity, office and Mammon are, more often than not, the executioners of Nature and Life,

As long as one understands humans and humane faces,

 

Learning from avifauna

If one is ready to learn from Birds:

Opening out their wings,

Having confidence in themselves before taking off,

Achieving success even after many failures,

Flying and flocking together,

Picking up strength from one another,

Searching for sustenance together,

Concentrating for long periods before the honour,

(The image: The courtesy of Kandhal Keshvala from Pixabay)

Showering their soulmates with lifetimes’ love,

Uncovering the importance of togetherness,

Flocking or chirping,

Singing and showing their true nature,

Being good partners and parents,

Going out even in adverse weather,

Fetching food for their young ones,

Showing the worth of little things,

Picking up small things,

Creating their artistic, enchanting and comfortable houses,

Enjoying the same routine wholeheartedly,

Spreading music and cheerfulness,

Making an appearance early and frequently,

Fitting with the seasons,

Blending with the flow,

Allowing their colours to glow,

Returning home in time.

If one has a dream to sing freely like birds,

If one understands humans and humane faces,

 

Learning from florets or flowers

If one is ready to learn from flowers:

Beginning their life with the soft opening of their petals,

Signalling the coming of fruit or fragrance,

Enjoying their energy and newness,

Seeking artistry and beauty,

(The image: The courtesy of Vesna Italy, GracefulRealm, from Pixabay)

Inspiring confidence and hope,

Surviving weather adversity,

Welcoming both favourable and unfavourable  circumstances with tender feelings,

Some blossoming in the dark once in ages,

Blooming unnoticed,

Unfurling, in the pitch-black darkness, joy and beauty only a willing soul can behold,

Some saluting the sun all day,

(The image: The courtesy of jvalley678 from Pixabay)

Spreading freshness, fragrance, tenderness, cheerfulness and beauty,

Some taking birth in filthy or prickly conditions,

Rising above impurity,

(The image: The courtesy of Bob Williams, Coltsfan, from Pixabay)

Outspreading grace and purity,

Giving everything beautiful selflessly to others,

Keeping everything painful to themselves,

Softening hearts with their splendour,

Enjoying in the light of their glory,

Being natural with their appearance and warmth,

Living patiently, fully and smilingly their evanescent life.

Even the end of a flower or a floret

Gives birth to a piece of fruit

Which bears seeds with invisible roots,

Capable of bringing forth new and lively plants.

As long as one grasps that every single rose is born after crossing many thorns,

If one recognizes that even the king of flowers wears the crown of thorns,

As long as one has a dream to bloom and blossom joyfully like flowers,

If one understands humans and humane faces,

Pleading by conscience 

As long as one fathoms out that a pure heart is the treasure par excellence,

If one’s inner voice inspires one to do one’s humane bit for the sake of all the humans and humane faces,
As long as one’s inspiration to do something humane is persistent, clear and loud,

The one is eternally beautiful and youthful.

The one is most welcome to ‘shekharakshar.com’.

 

Thinking about the blog:

Opening Statement

Humans, for one reason or the other, have said goodbye to a virtuous life. 

Between the Lines

There is a yearning to find peace and happiness.

The End of the Line

There is a need for introspection and action.

Question:

Do you, upon sincere self-analysis, really find yourself pure at heart?
