There’s always a first time

 



To take the first step
To learn the first word

To unlatch a cage

And free a lovebird


To scrape an elbow

To stumble and fall

To drool in deep slumber

To see a waterfall


To hide behind a tree

To watch a shooting star

To feed a hungry kitten

To lick clean a jelly jar


To discover the hidden ego

To nurse a broken heart

To try and climb with balance

First time on a horse cart


To fall in love

In hope of nothing to gain

There's always a first time

And then another again

    What’’s this? A interesting front for a third party to start an eternal debate. To me Spirituality is too theoritical in it’’s present state in India. Where are the souls like Vivekananda, Subhash Chandra Bose and the likes now a days… they r no where to be found. So why we unnecesssarily brag about our spirituality…I feel sorry for Sharmishthaa…her beautiful poem with it’’s underlying meaning has been sidetracked by some selfish chauvinistic people.

    Thank you for your reply.Unfortunately you donot have the Idea of Spiritual Science.India is great because of the Spirituality.It can empower the insight which is lacking in every one of us .We are too busy to think about the Skin and the skeleton.There is no scarecity of food and all kinds of comfortability.We are lacking the main ingredient of the human feature ,hat is ignorance of our constitutional position.We are simply wasting our time to amnage the daily Bread.Mother nature becomes pleased while we are controlled.the Spiritual Science can teach us how to control the senses.That is why we are living just like animals.There is no humanity because of our indifference of Santan Dharma.There is no great man or great woman. Only unchaste and cowerdice is prevalent and dominating the socalled culture in the name of civilization.Donot forget that you are always being controlled by the nature.Mother Nature can profusely supply for our daily needs.

    @rajivlochan das
    is this it? Is to highlight the value of spirituality the only job of Indians? why does being born in India make us so special? Then why are we so behind? If we are the sole keepers of the Ultimate truth, then why is there a lie at every corner? What about humanity and honesty? spirituality and its preachers these days are only a bunch of hippocratic BS.
    I think this post is plenty real. If you can decipher the metaphors, paragraph four isint half bad.

    Try to write on some reality.Material thought are just for some conditions and it is like a dream(Ephimeral).To be born in INDIA ,we should try to highlight the value of Spirituality,the Ultimate truth of the living being.All the Best.

    can we ever fall in love without it being self-less? I dont think it is humanly possible. Isint love selfish? These are not rhetorical questions. Just plain questions.
