K. V. Raghupathi
I am here
I have been here since the beginning of human life
No one can separate me from man
I am part and parcel of human existence, but
not Existence as such
I ma here; I will be, here
with the loved and despised
with the moralist and immoralist
with the philosopher and king
with the wise and brute
with the admired and debased
‘Sorrow� is my name
I am rooted in happiness.
Krishna unravelled me
Buddha transcended me
Mahaveera untried me
Christ symbolised me
Poets and artists have sung in praise/despise of me
Yet I continue to associate with human being
‘Sorrow� is my name
I am as much desired as unwanted.
Priests and moralists debated over me
Philosophers and theologians groped in dark ignorance
But they know not they live without knowing
my nature - I am much created
I am much sought in private by poets and
philosophers for creation.
I am much desired and despised by one and all
‘Sorrow� is my name
I am the base of happiness.
