Flawless by Rajender Krishan

Life is a play
so the masters say
everyone is given
a role to portray

So be the performer
understand the scenes
follow instructions
given by the director

Get not attached
to the character
when curtain draws
erase the actor

Retrace yourself to
the untainted carefree
neither this nor that
no artiste, no act

We are but theatrical personae rehearsing the drama of life to exit. But sometimes to enthrall ourselves sing we, you are my life, Radha lyrically.

Life may be easier perhaps, if we understand and act accordingly!

Retrace yourself to
the untainted carefree
neither this nor that
no artiste, no act- the right way to live!!

Even though believing in the theory of re-births (before and after) ...we get attached to 'I'ness so much-- that retracing to the free , pure cosmic energy becomes very tough.

World is a stage and all are various characters playing their roles only
when the drama is on; once the screen falls down all have to come to their senses to live according to reality in life! Nice one!
