Act of Forgiveness


See how ducks teach us spiritual lesson,
Just watching them also is meditation.
Utterly present in the moment at ease,
So dignified! Silently they float in peace.
Aware and conscious as a timeless devotee,
As perfect as a mindless being can be!
 
At times two ducks fight for no obvious reason,
Or when one strays in other’s private possession.
Clash ends in seconds, calmly they separate the way,
Vigorously flapping wings few times, gently they sway.
In serenity they move on in their own trend,
As if the battle had never happened.
 
Observing their act for the first time I believed,
By flapping wings, excess energy the ducks released.
Preventing from being trapped in their body,
Keeping away from converting into negativity.
Natural wisdom this is, easy for them to let go,
They don’t have a mind, with false self or ego.
 
Offer no resistance, let life to flow through,
Resistance is your mind; acceptance frees you.
Accept what can’t be undone, surrender to what is,
Forgive every moment, allow it to be as it is.
Submit your self to divine intelligence,
And He calls us the best of His creations!
