The ultimate reality
Of this elusive world is –
Everything is mortal,
Cyclic and Transient.
Today this was my dad
And patriarch of the family
Tomorrow this will be me
Others will follow one by one.
This body is perishable
If anything is sustainable
This is only our Atman*
Which is eternal and immortal.
*Atman is a Sanskrit word which means 'soul'.
