Journey that never ends...
"స్వర్గాలను అన్దుకొనాలని వడిగా గుడి మెఠ్లెకేవు
సాఠి మనిషి వేదన చూస్తూ జాలి లేని శిలవైనావు
కరుణను మరిపిన్చేదా చదువు సమ్స్కారం అన్టె
గున్డె బన్ఢగా మార్చేదా సామ్ప్ఱదాయం అన్టె
నువ్వు తినే ప్రతి ఒక మెతుకు ఈ సన్ఙం పన్డిన్చిన్దే
గర్విన్చే ఈ నీ బ్రతుకు ఈ సమాజమే మలిచిన్ది
రుణం తీర్చు తరుణం వస్తే తప్పించుకు పోతున్నావా
తెప్ప తగలబెటేస్తావా యేరు దాటగానే "
Sorry for those who cannot read telugu, you may find my feeble attempt in translation below. These lines by Sirivennala SeetharamaSastry (Movie: Rudraveena), stand true to their meaning irrespective of race/religion/sex. They portray the human nature in the most simplest yet profound way...
"Pleasures you seek and attempt to please Him
I see no misfortune could melt your heart
compassion did they miss in your education
or is it the culture that turned you stone hearted?
who sow the seeds of every meal you cherish,
who made your life a success till you perish,
are you turning back when you need to share
will you burn the log that took you to shore? "
This truth of life, a journey that we embark to reach heights continues...if only we are more consciously aware of our social responsibilities, our journeys may light up many lives on the way, I say.
* May be a lighter post next time! :)
