Meeting The almighty. Poem by Nabakishore Dash
Meeting The almighty.
A hardcore criminal
annoyed a monk, time
and again, asking him
how to meet God.
At last the wicked was
told to ascend a mountain
with five big pieces of
stone on his head.
After some initial climbing,
the criminal expressed
inability to proceed further
because of miserable pain
in his neck and backbone.
The monk allowed to
throw the uppermost piece
from his cranium.
Ultimately all pieces were
discarded, one after the other,
at repeated intervals
on his complaints of pain.
Only then he could reach the
apex of that mountain.
At the top, the monk explained
him that it is impossible
to reach the supreme Creator
with the weight of all our
sins, misdeeds, greed and illegality.
Only when we cast off those
wrongdoings from our mind, speech
and action, meeting with the
God would be a reality.
