Woven Together


The river of life is bridged up with  mundane allurements and ethereal quest,
The former makes life sunny and successful and the latter one meaningful crest .

Worldly pleasures are attained by doing duty well and being enterprising,
The celestial journey depends on good  intent latent, beyond surmising.

Joys and sorrows are woven together on the loom of life’s multiplicity,
The upright path far from malice,lust and lunacy tames all the adversity.

Ever proven is the Harmony between  worldly and ethereal domains for peace and pleasure
In the itinerary despite all fret and fever, while  ascending to the goal with in-built treasure.

When materialism is too much with us ,dealing in only plus-minus ,
Derailed are we from the right route,being deprived of the divine surplus .
