His Assistance

P K Routray

With jewelry worth a million

a man got in to a train for his destination.

He saw a single co passenger in his compartment

for the safety of the jewelry for a moment he did not lament.

He used his brain and gossiped with his companion

and in the process he managed to divert co passage’s attention.

Then he kept stealthily under co passenger’s bed his jewelry

and slept soundly snoring without tension and worry.

The co passenger moved by greed and temptation

searched the sleeping man’s bags to steal his possession.

But to his utter displeasure he found nothing the worth to steal

and remained awake wondering as to where the wealth the man could conceal.

Next morning when the train reached at his destination

to co passenger’s surprise and frustration

from under co passenger’s bed the man collected his jewelry

and thanking the co passenger for his vigils got down without hurry.

Similarly the bliss, the peace and the, happiness

within him the Almighty has bestowed upon man to possesses

but like the co passenger he searches them at wrong places

praying always the Almighty to bless him in the process.

If the Almighty would have kept them somewhere outside

the man could have searched them out from their hide

and would have forgotten the Almighty and questioned His existence

but now to get these treasures from within man always needs His assistance.
