THE TRUTH

The Pandavas were  feeble few,
Away from power, position and wealth,
Whereas the Kauravas were  formidable many,
With the power and likes of Vishma, Drona, Karna etc.

Still the Pandavas won the Mahabharata war,
Just because they were among the truths and truthfulness,
For which they got the wise counsel and support of  Krishna,
The incarnation of Vishnu, the supreme soul.

Hence power, position, wealth ,I, you, he, she,
Our relationships our lifetime achievements, reputations,
Our ego, anger, concerns, devotions,loss, gain being temporary
Are insignificant comparing with the vitality of truth.

The things we often and by mistake count as something,
And evade truth, truthfulness  to get that something,
Are real nothings, non-permanent and insignificant,
Like the water bubbles in the vast river of time.

I, you, he, she or they having a concern for this day only,
Having a wish to achieve that something,  the real-nothing
During this temporary tenure of our stay on the earth
Become selfish, biased while adjudicating things.

We begin believing as we wish to believe, as things suits us,
Then and there the truth becomes insignificant us
 We shelter under the falsehood, love lie and desert the truth.
But practically  we desert Krishna and His affection.
