Fortune, I know your tricks.
You gave me fame and shame,
You gave me health and sickness,
You gave me gains and losses,
You gave me a body that will be lost,
I am not fooled by you, not all.
What is given is not mine,
What is taken is not mine,
What is mine is that you can’t have,
What is mine is ‘my character’,
Guarded carefully from your control,
Character that is always cheerful and calm.

Excellent, this is nothing but fact, when you are young you try to achieve everything after 40’s and 50’s your greed to achieve will be at peak and after 60’s you are at the Dusk, and look back your achievements and one hand you satisfy and later you think that ‘is it the real achievement’ and think what are all you missed and from that time only you start thinking of the reality, you will come to understand you can take nothing along with you, still you don’t want to lose. This is life. We can only take with us the GOODNESS what we created.
