His ways are different.
P K Routray
A man was watching keenly a cocoon,
to see the birth of a butterfly from a caterpillar very soon,
In spite of repeated attempts the butterfly could not come out.
The man took pity and cut the cocoon to make for it a rout.
Then watched it with complacency and pleasure
to see the birth of butter fly with its colored feather.
the butterfly came out with a premature body to his horror,
till death it could not fly with its shriveled feather.
The story exposes man’s limit of wisdom,
with such wisdom to His decision can man ever fathom?
Unlike man’s such assisting endeavor,
God’s blessings to man’s prayer do differ
Man prays for strength to survive,
but gets difficulties to thrive.
Prays for wisdom in him to evolve
but gets problems to solve.
Prays for prosperity,
gets brain and brawn to perform the assigned duty.
Prays for valor,
gets obstacles to overcome as His answer.
Prays for love,
gets troubled people to help, hand in glove.
Prays for favor
gets opportunities even if he does squander.
He gets nothing he wanted to be granted.
but he gets everything he needed.
Without knowledge on a butterfly’s’ life cycle,
for the butter fly the foolish help of the man was wailful.
God also does not give fish to a starving man to sustain,
He teaches him the fishing in his own way to happily remain.
