Self Made
Self Made
We are all born out of the union of two lives
No one is self made
The moment, the time you are born is auspicious
Mother Earth has born you, nature has born you
There is no such thing or time or moment as inauspicious time of birth
If you say so, You are pointing fingers at, Mother Earth and nature
And calling her inauspicious
You are at fault in your own life
Mother Earth, nature, blesses you with life and that is divine
All those who say they are self made
They are what they are, because of the combined efforts
Of all those around them
Who were in step with them, to take them forward
And even then they say, they are self made, out of arrogance and ignorance
Even the sages, hermits, living in the caves of Himalaya are not self made
They also get enlightenment, from the going on of the world, around them
From the various lives, that touch them in one way or the other
And from there they find the right path of virtue and saint hood
Every one, who proudly says he is self made
Can only say because he has reached, a point of height in life
On the pillars of the support, of the ones, who helped him reach that height
He says, he is self made, because he does not look back, at the others, with an eye of passion
He only sees his passion, as the one that took him forward
While he considers others, who stood with him, just as passer by
No pillar can stand tall, without the support of Earth beneath
No self made is self made,
They are just arrogant, when this sing this word
No melody can be made, without the string of rhymes
No music can be made without the rhythm of the musician
No flower can blossom, without the seed from the nature
No one is made, without the love of others
No one is self made
A shadow, does not tell the character and personality of a person
One is just a shadow,
Without the love and support of the people around him
Everyone, who utters the word self made
Has reached a mile stone in life
Because the fuel that energized his journey
To the destination he has reached, and he has become a body of pride
And the position he has attained in the world
Is because of the unflinching, effort, support, love
Affection, advice, optimism, belief
Of the many who stand, as a pillar of support for him
Without them, the self made, who have remained just a shadow, in the night
that gets engulfed in the darkness, in time
Everyone who say self made, is a shining light because of the brightness
And the aura of the others of others around him
No one is self made
Everyone, who says self made, are the reflection,
Of all those, around them, who shines bright
And illuminate the world with their happy heart
One who harps, on the line, he is self made
Is just a Shanaa
Even Adam was not self made, Eve made him complete
No one is self made
One does not climb just one hill in a life time
And then stays on the peak, like a fixed flag
Until the wind blows it away
Climbing a hill is just one moment in life
One climbs down as well, and live many more moments in life as well
He prepares for that climb on that peak
With the hand in hand support and love, of those
Who awaken him, prepare him, for the many more moments to live
They call life
No one is self-made
Words alone, do not bring spring
To make the flowers blossom, you have to sow the seeds
To nurture the blossoming flowers, they need the roots
To kiss, the Mother Earth and to live and flourish in her cradle
You are just a flower dancing in the wind, that the world sees
What you do not see, is the stem, the thorn, the leaf and the root
That gives you the fragrance, to be a flower
The gods, that humanity of all the faiths,
Worshipped and worship,
Were also from the union of the divine
And you recite the words, self-made, from your own foolishness
The air you breath, is from the union of elements of nature
You flourish, because of the support of others, around you
Otherwise, you would be just a stump in the ground
And not a tree to form a canopy of influence
We are, what we are
Because of all the elements, that are in tune,
hand in hand rhythm with each other
that support us, to make us stand tall
No one is self-made
