Pain And Our Innate Philosophy. Poem by Ravi Panamanna

(We may have sublime philosophical views but in moments of torturing pain, our senses may overpower that wisdom. It depends on the degree of our body consciousness. The lesser the degree of this, the lesser we feel the torturing pain and the more our wisdom will prevail on. Great masters have actualized this. After all, we are mortals and yet we can alleviate pain with our innate philosophy. This is the core message of the poem) .

Rolling tears tell his pain
But all end in vain.
The world indifferently air:
"Lose not thy courage, just bear,
The Lord will certainly take care"!

When pain is pounding every cell,
Such a rigmarole, can it really console?
Be silent, just a pat is enough
Your philosophy, the sufferer already knows,
Pain overpowering, he is now under its influence.

"Speech is silver but silence is gold"
Masters have already told.
Silence can really convey,
Pain is kept at bay,
Ingrained philosophy has now a say.

To Christ and other masters
What it may seem for us disasters
In one breath they bore and much more,
Pain never touched their inner core
We, mortals within the realm of senses are simply torn.
