On The Hill Of Effort Is Effortless! Poem by TD. Kumar

On the hill of effort is effortless!
Much art is needed to look artless
Simple covers lot of chaos, cost and complexity
It takes laborious 'Saadhana 'on spiritual path to get natural goodness and godliness.
'Buddha' on the last day of his spiritual journey
Made a 'do or die' commitment for the 'Nirvaanik' ascent
Next day as he fell in a stream's current
He let go and he was in effortless, enlightened epiphany.
Novelist Flaubert and symbolist poets Mallarme' and Valery
Worked very hard to hone their creativity
Then made further effort to make it spontaneous and effortless
This is true for the scientist, musician and painter to make large number of experiment with effort relentless.
And then comes the discovery's miracles
Similarly with a saint or oracle
The great formulas of science, look very simple, even obvious!
But concealed is the complexity and effort, long and serious.
