KARMA

By Dr Sukhmaneet Kaur

In deep agony, we wonder.

Why are put in this storm, this thunder?

Even after being precisely nice to them, we proclaim.

They pick up to traumatize us, they are always the same.

Unto others, we put all the blame

and stay adhered to usual pattern of pain.

All the service, the kindness goes in vain,

there remains nothing in compensation that we attain.

Just one ash of bad thought blown towards them,

blazes all our good karmic strength.

Our urge for them to get burnt and torn,

counterblow towards us as several encounters to mourn.

In such a manner, suffering never lowers

and we linger in those torturous chains.

We must take an oath to open bliss showers

onto whole world, without expecting any gains.

It's not our life's hurdle, we need to cross,

It's our life's lesson from past, our own conceived chaos.

Why let others twist and toss

our life, when we are the actual boss.

We are unaware of times we slaughtered them with swords and pinched them with pins.

Their behaviour towards us is our fruit, our debt of past life sins.

One who forgives is the one who wins,

eventually joy rises and suffering dims.

Our graciousness will alter everything around and within us.

Respond with elegance and not react in rush

even on actions, that are provoking. Let's be patient,

its time to avoid any further repayment.

In former life we must have done horrible things of some sort,

which are now projected towards us, as present life hurt.

So let's be sorry in our hearts,

for all those known, unknown negative arts.

Striving to put onto others only good,

even if we are misunderstood.

This time, we must, put back in heart chambers, our positive elixir,

abolishing all the poison and sealing the lid a little tigher.

Opening it only to spread our healing magic.

This world, from beginning has been erratic.

Shall we now forgive every being for the events that were tragic.

It's time to get rid of our baggage of bad karma that has been stuck static.
