I know it hurts when you put in effort supreme
And yet you are unable to realize your dream
The disappointment you feel when you work hard and yet
No reward or acknowledgment of your trouble you get
You know my child, your parents have gone through this too
And while I wish things could be better for you
It is a fact of life we all have to learn some day
Success is fickle, not to be counted on anyway…
*
Let me tell you what our scriptures have taught
Perform your duty with diligence, but expect not
The fruits of your labor, because attachment to outcome
Ultimately brings lasting happiness seldom..
*
Life is not a linear equation
In fact it is not an equation at all
Therefore if winning becomes a fixation
My dear child, you’re likely to fall…
Passion...unbridled
