Echoes of Wisdom ...28.02.2024

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.
