Though art everything

Though art everything

P K Routray

Ego is the barricade

creating in between man and the God a blockade.

Out of ego man thinks he is the master doer

as he has eyes to see and ear to hear,

toungue to taste and nose to smell

can discriminate sweetness of heaven and bitterness of hell.

He has hands to hold, legs to walk,

heads to think, mind to muse and lips to talk.

But forgets he, somebody gives him the life force to perform

without it eyes, ears, tongues and nose have no power of any form.

Hence let us submit with humility to say,

both loudly and silently day in day out pray

“Hey God! I am nothing

Though art everything.”

rob me of my pride

to your service all my desires, shape and guide.”
