TIT FOR TAT

 

             

                                        
                              


                                 

 1       If you feel angry with short temper swift

You will be dealt with in the similar way;

In future or in present you have to pay

For what you did, you will get the same gift;

If you are jealous, and treat others with disdain

You will receive the same for inflicting pain.

If you speak harsh words and insult

Others, you will get the same result;

If you commit violent acts to vent

Your revenge, same you get and can’t prevent.

 

2        The murderer becomes the victim

The hunter suffers the agony of the hunted beast;

The brutal crime of lust will soon repeat

Itself in your life too, vicious and grim;

Till you realize your sins and earnestly repent

And won’t commit again in future or present;

If you feel proud of cheating others, know

That you will be dealt with same shocking blow.

Whatever we do with evil intent and mind

Remember their impact; fate is not deaf or blind. 

 

3          Beware of your deeds and thoughts that go astray

That shape your destiny and your state

No use of blaming others and your wayward fate

In every birth we commit loads of sins in many ways

Increasing burden to go through many births again

Ignorance-bound, we have to suffer, stress and strain;

To overcome these, we should realize our faults

Seeking refuge in God’s grace to set right our hearts;

If not, you move around many years in self-created hell

Till you mend your ways, how many eons, none can tell.

 

4          Control your ego and amend your evil acts

If not, your acts will rebound on you and plunge

You into the dark depths from which you can’t expunge

Yourself; Your future is shaped by your thoughts and acts;

Humiliating others, a deadly sin

Be kind and patient and forgiving to win

God’s grace; in all beings try to behold

God and in meaningful ways your life try to mold

You can’t escape from your past; an undeniable fact

Yield not to your passions and rashly act.
