    This earth rocks horribly!

    InvisiblySilentlyContinuously moves

    This wheel of deathUninterrupted ... unchanged!

    Before itStability has

    No existenceIts motionAlways controls

    Life and death,

    Earth and sky!

    [4] Free from Worry

    Fearing deathwill makeliving

    futile!weight heavydry onerouspleasureless heart.

    SoLifeonly meaningful,when every moment is freefrom the dread of death.

    It is ill-ominous

    to talk aboutthe fear of death,or cataclysm

    for this reason.

    Death?A question-mark!

    To know the mysterynot only difficultbut alsoall unknownfor man.

    Bodymerges into five-elementseverything scatters

    and ends.Life'snot to return;impossible

    to revive again,and know the mystery.

    When there's no self death a puzzlequeer puzzle!Uninterpreted to-date,A wonderful puzzle!

    All efforts futile to explicatethe meaning of death;it's very intricate difficult

    to contemplate.

    [6] A Puzzle

    What ?

    BodyNot worth living;

    Therefore ...Soul !You left.

    In quest of newOn an unknown path;

    Where ?But where ??

    Unknown,Everything unknown!A pitch dark night,EverythingMysterious!

    Who questions ?Who answers ?

    [7] The Truth

    If there were no death,God wouldn't have any existence,manwould have never reconciledwith his fate!

    God - a symbol,God - a proof

    of man's helplessnessof readiness after death.

    The whole philosophyof hell and heaven

    is an imagination.

    Man

    at each momentis afraid of death, andhorripilant again and again!He knows 'death is imminent'!

    So, his each step

    is frought with suspicion.Not only thishe is alsoabsolutely ignorantof the so calledYam's 1 world.That's whyhe takes refugein Godfor eternal peace in death!

    That's whyhe sings the long song -'Ram nam satya hai!'(God's name is the only TRUTH)O, birth and deathis nothingsave for his cruel-amusing act!

    [20] Meaningfulness

    Mere livingisn't a proof of life's meaningfulness,Living -

    only helplessnesslike death - an exit.

    Which is naturalin adopting itwithout any specificity,'Living-being'doesn't mean

    to be 'a human being.'

    Declaration of human glory only whenthere is perfect peace of mind -when we givea new meaning to life,in pitch dark open doors
