(028) Nobody

Rating: 3.1


When I went to
His dwellig place,
He asked:
Why did you come
In search of me,
When I live within you?
When I was about to
Light a candle,
He told: be a candle instead!
When I went to my love:
She told: be my breath dear!
When I went to my little sister,
She told: be my hope for life!
When I went to the world,
They told:
You are Nobody

What counts most is that you knew yourself better than other... what you are and where you stand! A 10.

The world is a fickle lover, Do not worry - When The universal lover God And the encircling hearts Of near and dear loving be What right has the world To label or call anyone A 'Nobody' - When It has done, nothing to us?

Premji, i am really impressed- this is amazing- who cares what the world thinks as long as you are loved by your dear ones and Him. who am i, not a nobody. you are the universe, and the universe is within you.10 no beating about the bush, your style is penetrating and incisive. Mamta
