A “free” soul, for liberation from “Karma”
Enters the domain of “physical life” once again

A new cycle begins
A future life takes form

Not consciousness, but a shape develops
It has no idea of anything around, just grows up with the help of nature

Then consciousness awakens,
A “free” soul feels its surroundings

A closed enclosure, full of water – darkness, where eyes cannot see anything
It just feelस the voices and conversations coming from outside,
And the shocks of the movements of the mother’s body

In this cramped environment, develop the organs, systems and body structures,
Over time the body grows but the ambient enclosure does not grow as fast,

In the head down – legs up inverted posture, the “baby”, cramped in the tight enclosure

Starts dreaming of getting out from here and roaming in a free environment

Then comes the “momentous” day of the birth
Through the help of nature, mother, midwife/doctor and its own efforts
A new creature comes to this earth, and for the first time
It becomes aware of this new boundless and “free” world

It senses this material world, its ways
And it forgets to breathe and silently starts thinking about it

“What have I reached! In the midst of thorns, in search of flowers!”
How is it possible to have freedom in the midst of these rules and regulations?”

“The lists of rules, laws, customs, manners, etc. are very long here.
They differ in the lists of country, society, religion, caste, creed, etc.”

“Each one of them expects, other people to follow their “ideals”
And if someone doesn’t do this, for them there are also prescribed punishments”

“Agreed, some rules – laws are necessary for the system of society
But the lists are also full of rules of dominance and segregation”

“In framing the rules, everyone has taken full care of their own interest
But if others do the same it is declared to be a crime”

“Whole of my life will be spent in knowing and understanding these rules
And I’ll never get a chance to do something “good”, “something different”

“It was better inside mother’s womb, despite darkness and the pressure
At least there was no discord or compulsion of customs at every step.”

“In the aimless wandering of the Universe as a soul,
There was no scope of enhancement of the soul”

“But there was also no danger of the degradation of the soul either
Caused by the objects and circumstances of this material world”

“Had I known earlier, I would not have aspired to be born in this World
Now that I am born, there is no choice left but to live on”

As I cannot speak, how can I express my unhappiness at being here
The only option I have is to bawl as loudly as I can to express my displeasure
