We present his awesome poem Soul-searching… We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji, who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages for sharing this classic poem.
~ Soul-searching… ~
As the journey of soul-searching, gleefully starts,
in unison of mind & heart, the melancholy departs
*
Wrapped in veils of ignorance, we mustn’t stray,
But, seek the path of eternal truth, come what may
*
Many a sheath shroud us, dark and perilously evil,
They conceal our essence, like a sinister devil
*
Need is to remain enlightened & mentally alert,
Drop the falsehood, making wisdom to assert
*
With intellect shining, without ego’s ominous stain,
Refine the mind, with showering love like a rain
*
Greed and envy’s shadows, that darken the way,
Keep them at bay, starting with a brighter day
*
Know yourself well, sayeth the ancient wisdom,
Hail your conscience, the king of eternal kingdom
*
Acquire the celestial wellness, in all its novelty,
Guided by your heart, living the life in serenity!
