Impressions on a Morning Walk

Today coming from my room I found a number of beggars adorning saffron and green clothes -as in India it is convenient to get alms in the guise of s sage- sleeping soundly on the pavement of the railway station perhaps after a tiring sleepless overnight journey in the unreserved coach of the train. One of the stout looking beggar was snoring loudly equally matching the sound of arriving and departing trains from the station. It occurred to me that perhaps these people were real citizens of the world as they belonged to this world but without any worldly attachment like house, property or family. Though they were surrounded by life yet remained unaffected by it just like Lotus that blooms in muddy water but remains unaffected by it. Pondering over their aspirations and aims of life it appeared hat they were on this planet in compliance with the command of God to spend certain number of years allotted to them by the Creator. They have no attachment to this world and the only reason that they are alive in this world is that they are obeying command of God to remain alive till one day, appointed by destiny they will leave this world to merge with one God, who is controller of everything in the universe, though he maybe called by different names.
