River Of Life



Wisdom tells me I am nothing
Love tells me I am everything
Between the two my life flows - Nisarga  Dutta Maharaj





The River of Life is flowing with vigor

No ocean for it to merge

Ocean is inside the River of Life

Tranquility is the Ship to Travel

Happiness its Engine, Benevolence its Fuel

Love its Guiding Light, Wisdom its Navigation Tool

Enlightenment the Impenetrable Harbor

    i think understanding we are each is true wisdom...and leads us to a life of freedom....happiness fed by benevolence...i am all for that....and letting love lead...

    Enjoyed the philosophy in the quote...as well as the philosophy in your poem. I especially liked the idea of "Love its Guiding Light, Wisdom its Navigation Tool." We definitely need that wisdom to navigate our path through the ocean of life.

    I enjoyed the quote you chose as well as your use of ship as a metaphor for individual lives on the ocean of Life in general.

    Oh -- I find this most comforting.. but privately I feel at loss looking for a harbor or a guiding beacon

    smiles... you know... i tend to listen to love more than to wisdom... though i think it's wise to find a middle path

      I too thought the middle path might be nearer to the truth.

      the final destination is same for all...but the name of the path may vary for each individual ..:)
