NO DOUBT, I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD LESSON OF MY LIFE!

I told all those years many many things to people..

Some listened with dedication,

Some listened out of curtesy,

Some nodded with a question on their faces,

Some questioned gently,

Some questioned strongly,

Some opposed gently

And

Some opposed vehemently..

I never cared for their expressions;

The pride in me all the time saying

'They don't know; you know!'

With kindness nowhere seen in my talk.. 

 

I continued telling thus what I wanted..

Years passed;

My sayings changed; my audience too;

I thought I was rising but all along 

The pride in me alone was doing that

Wiping out kindness from me to the root..

Equally heard all those years..

'Silence is golden; speech silvern!'

No.. 

Can't be; should't be..

'Speech alone is golden; silence silvern!'

I thought, believed and practiced;

Lived thru' my speech keeping off silence in total from my end..

Times were never the same..

That life of endless self boasting of mine had

A REAL BLOW 

When on a day

The Tiny Little One of all Innocence next to me  

Was seen laughing at my ignorance saying

"I learn everything feasible thru' my

'Smile' and 'Cry' 

Alone with my speech nowhere in picture..

And you may not know..

The Ever Revered Great Saint of the past with kindness overflowing

Blessed many souls thru' His

'Smile' and 'Nod'

Alone as He advised 

What's your true contribution here towards

SILENCE

And 

KINDNESS

In your life

Truly helping the masses next to you 

Not gifted with the so called knowledge you were bestowed upon?"
