The Psalm of Love

Happiness and joy man wants to gain,
but everywhere he is in pain.
  
The sweet scented manuscript of life
is torn with strife.
  
What are those things which a person should assiduously, incessantly and constantly pusue,
to obtain and attain,
If he really wants to get happiness and avoid pain.
  
To rise to a higher sphere of life is within the power of man.
He must try, and of course he can.
  
His search for happiness and joy will not be rewarding,
unless he overcomes those things which are hindering.
  
To get happiness,the zest of life, and joy,
he should stop playing with every toy.
  
There can be no two opinions that, without inner peace and tranquillity,
he cannot experience ecstacy or get felicity.
  
Without the spirit of give and take in life,
there is sure to be strife.
  
Of what use is it for us to be good, and even if we become good, of what use will it be to
us if we do not do good? To do good implies to be of some use to others, to show sympathy
to others and to be guided by the spirit of  sharing service and sacrifice.
  
It is axiomatic to say that a person cannot be good unless he does good and he cannot do good
unless he himself is good. The problem constitutes a challenge to our sense of proportion and
perspective. It calls for a solution. How then to avoid strife and stagnation and lead a calm, placid
and happy life?
