Any Advice?

 

Listen, I often to many greats.

Forget them oft all with regrets.

On many subsequent repetitions

to grasp it as no intended intention

but to touch the subject as unknown

with vanishing memory springing frustration

the self-conceit robs me of further interest

unwise, naive I continue to remain on the subject.

Theory of “listen, read write and contemplate”

as childish this aged man's vanities reject straight.

as an half a century old, tool too old a practice

Multimedia presentations pale them as a novice.

Excuse I, myself as being old as a citizen senior

and Sanskrit verses are too difficult to decipher.

Hence whatever I read and listen pass over my head

after well securing their seats in me they instantly fade

The wisdom gained earlier for earning bread and butter

now looks dwarf as research has made the subjects taller.

On superannuation, after many a consultation

frustrated with stale outputs of press and television

and with incapability to understand the modern literature

on the advice of many my interest got focused to scripture

to learn for peace bliss and after death liberation

staying healthy in body and mind under the sun

but when I look at Hindu philosophy in their epics

and look at other religions with their gospels and logic

I turn mad and now run to Lord for strength and solution

as to how will be my endeavors before my final destination

is it to gossip, to grapevine, to philanthropically work

tired of those in life the inner urge and background I lack.

Hence before Lord listens to, decide and reacts to bless

Hey readers, advise me on the assimilating process

so that I dive to a depth of at least in Hindu philosophy

assimilate them for my peace and bliss Pray help me.
