Happiness and Mercy

Happiness and Mercy
P K Routray
Happiness generally invites mortal observers’ jealousy
but jealousy does not come when the scene generates mercy.
Visible happiness generates many a want and need,
creating more miseries in a mundane man, indeed.
Hence happiness, visible causes many an itch.
The happiness is not certainly the prerogative of rich,
nor of wealthy,
nor of healthy,
nor belong to privileged classes alone,
nor belong to a man practicing meditation.
Happiness comes as companion inherent,
to the divine attributes where they are present.
