" SHOULDN'T I ACCEPT ALMS NOW ? "

A hermit stamped his foot at  the door and shouted:

“  Alakh Niranjan …..All is One”

 He stopped for a moment ,

 I collected my offerings ,

Rice , Edible  oil etc,

Recollecting  some  happening,

He gave a look

and

walked on.

Then came  a  bulky  Cow  ,

In discomfort ,

Dragging  herself on   four thin  legs ,

It looked  ,

as if,

she would fall down the very  next moment .

I kept 

A  lump of cooked rice

and

two breads

at a safe place.

She smelled,

Left them untouched  and moved  on.

 Thereafter  came a dog,

 waging its tail,

looking  all around

 Pushed this foodstuff with its toes ,

Smelled it ,

Waging its tail ,

Left it untouched

And moved ahead.

Then  the sparrows and the  crows flew over the door

 Gliding  down,

It looked ,as if ,

They shall soon grab and snatch

The  cooked  Rice and breads crumbs ,

 and

 Carry  it  to  their nest

  To the tree Top .

 They did not .

 And Flew away  ,

Soaring  higher and higher into the sky...........

What happened to

the hermit,

the  cow,

the  dog,

 the sparrows

 and

 The crows  ?

Why did they leave hungry ?

What were  they searching for?

What are they after?

 Would you please Make all this  clear  to me?

 Would you please Dive into the complexity?                                                          

 Tell me  ,

 Shouldn’t   I   accept  Alms now  ?
