Sustenance Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Alms giving a noble tradition
Accepted by all loving charity
The monk visits the homes
To have alms for a sustenance
To dedicate himself for study the things
The woes of fellow people
The sorrows of human life
The valued life and difficult ways
The monk studies about the world
And accepts the minimum for a sustenance
Never looking the alms pot what received
Or things given by the homely ones
The real contentment of life and bliss
Which was visible in his meditative face.
Now the things of the past in busy world.
