This stage that thee strides, so strong,
Is an endless path that cradles thy role,
perhaps witness to rebukes and songs,
Alas! Yet not vast to hold thy soul.
One who is affected by official challenges is not less wrong than the actor who is carried away by situations in a play.
Ah, that venomous snake in glee,
Could wrap that branch by his frame,
Now, ask the wise sandalwood tree,
Can venom ever dilute that fragrance, so famed?
One’s inner peace and happiness is untouched, unperturbed by situations that engulf him; just like that sandalwood tree whose fragrance is never diluted by the venomous snake that always circles its trunk
These are random thoughts that came past me, after a particular discussion that I happened to have with few proffesionals, on the subject of professional challenges leading to mental stress.

Hey!!!
Thats one way of looking at it. but that's not what i was hitting at.
I am more interested in how we can ensure official pressures and challenges do not bother our inner peace.
We can come home tired, but not frustated. never.
Hey Srikant. Good one. U know that para u have written abt snake n sandalwood. Well in school we had a hindi doha with the same meaning and same example. Great if ur thinking like one of those poets. Three cheers!!!
