The Lesson Of Life Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

I will teach you today
The lesson of life
It's something like oiling the wheels
of a cart
So that they turn
even though it's heavy
it's something like floating a boat
on water
so that it moves ahead easily
its same as giving water
to a thirsty person
in a time of dangerous drought
or providing fire for a person
freezing in the cold
it's like the strong racing horse
you should be riding
or your wife and children
need the clothing
they should be wearing
If you can take it fully, digest
And can pass it to others
You will be a Buddha.
