Transcendent, Divine Kalyana Mitta - Best Friend and Companion
Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, Altruism & EquanimityIf you need to dance count me in although I have never won a dancing competition
If you need a shoulder to cry on I am always there for you
If you need to be successful I am there to give you every possible support
If you are dejected I am there to cheer you up
If you need to win a battle I am there alongside with all possible armoury
If you need to celebrate the victory let’s do it in a modest manner
If you need security the one-man army is right behind you
If you need to help the down-trodden I will give you my pittance
If you feel miserable I am there to share your sorrow
If you are victimized I am there to fight the cause to the end
If you feel lonely look over your shoulder to find the solace
If you need to be an academia I am the chief librarian
If you need to be intellectual I have magnanimous experience to share with
If you are emotionally hurt we can share our enhancements
If you need shelter let’s sojourn in the hut until we reach the mansion
If you are worried about the parents and siblings let’s bare their welfare
If you are hungry offer the meals to the poor along with my share
If you are on rent let’s donate a bag of cement to a poor who build his first humble home
If you are sick I assure that you get the best medical attention and nursing
If you are hearty and healthy find out those who couldn’t afford medication and surgery
If we have extra resources let’s make a humble abode for the poorest
Even if we have hardships let’s not forget the family, relatives and the friends and those who are desperate, hungry and sick
Destiny is sustained in the best manner during the waxing and the waning moon
If you need spiritual enlightenment let’s explore the guidance of the Buddha, rishis and saints
Finally let’s enjoy the great consolation in the eternal bliss!
