Ideal Idolater Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
Ideal Idolater
Ideal idolater met us once in a temple,
Idealism he described nonstop in ample.
'Idealize yourselves', he said us in eager,
'Identify yourselves and don't be beggar.
Immediately a beggar stood in front of him,
Ignoring him he said, “You are strong and vim'.
Ill-starred beggar had one hand and no eye at all,
Immorally he was begging to meet hunger's call.
'Idle you are', said idolater to him,
'Idiotically you beg, don't be dim'.
'Ill-fated I'm not I am enjoying my past deeds',
Impassively he said describing his greeds.
'Impact of past actions never goes alone,
It always goes with soul to next birth zone.
Impartially you behave as idolater to all,
Impatiently you shouldn't do anything at all.
Imparted sweet food he had with him to us,
In-depth he said, “Have these offering God thus'.
I thought beggar is more ideal than the idolater,
Immense love he has on God, a best facilitator.
Once with friends poet met an idolater in a temple. He advised them to be idealizing themselves. They should not be beggar and should be identified themselves to be noble person. At that time a beggar arrived there. Idolater said him that he was vim and he should not beg. The beggar had one hand and he was blind. He was unwillingly begging to meet the call of hunger. He said it was going on due to his past life’s actions. “Past action or Karma always goes with soul”, he said, ” so one should not do wrong”. He then gave them sweet food with him and said to have it by offering to God first. He had immense love to all and to God. Poet thought that the beggar was the real ideal idolater. This is the theme of the poem in nutshell. It is written in Deogarh, Odisha, India and is dedicated to the people of the world.
