WORTHY EXISTENCE
Nynaru Appaswamy
Transient are all the things in the world
For some time a place they may hold
Waiting ever is that inescapable death
It puts an end to man’s billowing breath
Man’s worth is not measured by his age
Nor by power, status, wealth and lineage
It matters not how long he lived
By what means he earned and thrived.
It’s by making his mortal existence
Attuned to the divine will and ordinance
Leading a life virtuous and devoted
Gains man the place most coveted.
One should make his consciousness grow
To higher levels of eternal divine glow
Manifest he should the divinity on earth
Only that makes his existence worthy.
