'If I'm lax, few will be found,
If I become inattentive, more will be found and
If I'm caught with an unknown fear within, the numbers increase around me called
THE FAKE MASTERS,
The self assumed authority
Originally not there as per Nature’s requirement!
Nature fixes just
A SINGLE PAY MASTER
At a moment in my life in tune with
The Law of Nature for Survival
And identifying that
SINGLE MASTER
No doubt, becomes a tough job
As I'm forever carried over by my emotions more than my need
And that being the average situation,
THE FAKE MASTERS SURE APPEAR..
Their indirect power makes me weak in time
As I alone have accepted them and
Soon a stage would reach where
Soon a stage would reach where
Getting off from their clutches would be seen impossible..
In such a scenario
THE WELL-WISHERS
Would remain weaklings alone next to me
Not able to pull me from the deep drench of mud,
I myself got into my life..
I myself got into my life..
As time moves on the situation only worsens with
SUCH FAKE MASTERS
Start terrorizing me and
THE WELL-WISHERS
Become fewer and fewer many
NON INTERFERING ONES
Getting off from me
Not able to cure my deep-rooted disease..
That way, this one life of mine is
Forever compromised and written off indirectly with all the
ORIGINAL ENERGY, VIGOR AND AMBITION
Permanently put into cold storage..
When the villagers under a strong belief
Continued to worship the presumed demon in an adjacent cave,
A young man of the village with the permission of the villagers on a day
Entered the cave,
Checked himself every corner of the cave,
Ascertained that there was nothing other than clusters of cob webs hanging all round,
Came out, declared to the villagers,
HIS FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE
And further lived forever free of the fear of cave!
A FAKE MASTER NEXT TO ME
Is just like the cave..
If I am afraid, very much there..
If I yield, terrifies me more and
If I succumb to pressures, makes me a permanent slave but
If I stand up and look straight once,
NEVER EVER IS THERE AT ALL!

Yes, rightly said. Fear is our choice, it is a state of mind that makes us a slave of the thing we fear of. One should overpower it to get untied of the chains of restrictions.

DeleteFear is the only source of ignorance. Tat Twam Asi - the omnipotent, omniscient & omnipresent. And to realise it, knowledge is not of much help but courage.
