When You’ve Bought Immortality by Harry Chitrakar Kottler

[Chitrakar and Savitri]

You’ll live as though you’ve conquered all,
from very large to very small.
Your life will be eternity.
You’ll know that you’re forever free.

A classic picture in a book is
never old from truth’s outlook.
A sonorous, grand melody
is heard inside and in the trees.

A life long gain is never lost,
if one has paid the total cost.
Which means you’ve bought
immortality;
which isn’t dear, though dear it be.

The final truth, the final word,
will send you flying like a bird.
The net’s been cast, the fish is in,
but he’s no longer scales and fins.
He’s all, the whole, infinity...
and he is she while we is me.
And me is nothing much at all;
it cannot break; it cannot fall.
It must be brave so brave it be.
The sea’s all bright; from sea one sees
an ever constant soothing breeze
and contemplates eternity.

With love and respect,

These lines say it all
"The final truth, the final word,
will send you flying like a bird."

CNS, beautiful poem. your poems always teach truth.
Would you mind writing about ignoring people in life who hates you and try to harrass you?

[Chitrakar and Savitri]

Why pay attention to those who hate you?
You should be glad that they don't mate you.
As for harassing, even saint can be harrassed,
But their minds are so steady that the words just float past.
