Salman Masalha
One poem from Nepal
Balkrishna Sama ||
Man Is God
He who loves flowers, has a tender heart.
he who cannot pluck their blooms,
has a heart that's noble.
He who likes birds, has a gentle soul.
he who cannot eat their flesh,
has feelings that are sacred.
He who loves his family, has the loftiest desires.
he who loves all of Mankind,
has the greatest mind.
He who lives austerely, has the purest thoughts.
he who makes life serve him well,
has the greatest soul.
He who sees that Man is Man, is the best of men.
he who sees that Man is God,
he is God himself.
