Living Inwardly

We may have achieved extraordinary growth

In life, in career, in wealth, in prosperity

But is it true a true measurement?

Of judging the human growth engine?

True human growth is the inward growth

Not outward, financial, nor physical

Not educational, religious, nor social

Not industry, space, nor security

But keeping the inward temple clean

To install the Divine Deity there

We must be always happy and cheerful

In all positive or negative circumstances

Stepping back from instant reaction

Saying absolutely indispensable things

Remaining immobile without getting shaken

Always living this life in a gratitude sense

Utilising the unoccupied moments to discover

To know why I am here?

Are we leading this life haphazardly?

By listening to inner call always.
