From the lips of a sweeper woman flows Vedanta and Tatvalu,
A Gita quote follows: only a fraction of souls are blessed with human birth,
Among them, a mere handful seek the spiritual path.
Then, a boy seeking help is mocked by pandits in the king's court,
In response, he leaves a poem, a riddle unsolved.
Renowned wise men ponder the puzzle for years,
Until a young man arrives at the court.
When the question is posed once more,
The man smiles and offers the solution,
For he was the boy who had grown into a man.
Two different questions, yet the same answer,
Some days unfold with profound meaning.
Dr. SV Prabhath
