~ Transcendent steps… ~ 

☆

Merging with the crowd, but never drifting apart,

Their criticisms, can never deter my sanguine heart

My path is my duty, my journey my sacred creed,

Undaunted by praise or blame, even if I bleed

*

Entranced by the odyssey, I just walk, unhindered

A traveller focused on the destination, undeterred

For me, journey’s goal, is to reach its fruitful end,

I follow the path, steadfast, unfazed but contend

*

My mantra echoes in “Karmanye vadhikaraste’s” tone

I’m detached, my spirit finds its sacred space, alone

The path unfolds its splendor, a journey to ascend,

Embracing each step, as heart and soul transcend

☆

* “Karmanye Vadhikaraste” is a Sanskrit phrase from the Bhagavad Gita, meaning: “Your right is to perform your duty only, but never on the fruit of work.”
