Thought
Many saints have passed this way
Fasted, prayed and served the poor
What practice for this world today
Where fortune knocks on every door?
In fast train age one thing it lacks
A training for the old and youth
Reroute commute on different tracks
Clear complex networks for the truth
Let others not the mind confuse
With what is real or just fake news
With trivial pursuit let’s not amuse
Clear cloudy web and stress defuse
Adherence to truth in modern age
Will fix the mind to realm of God
So says our modern Bengal sage
For pure truth is the path he trod
Prayer
O Lord grant me the courage to change familiar pain bearing routes and with renewed energy embark on simpler ones. May truth be my austerity in thought, word and deed. Let us discover the truth of who we are, the truth about the masks we adopt, the truth about this world and the truth of that beyond. Thou art Truth Itself! Thou art the origin, journey and destination!
