Vanprasthashram-The Final Leg

It’s time to pass the baton, otherwise the relay won’t happen,
Simple is the logic, yet difficult to accept, its almost tragic!
To let go of the power, to abandon the throne,
Expected by all but easier said than done!

Vedic stages of life illustrating a path as guidance,
Making us humans independent enough to balance
Various phases of our living and existence
After enjoying the marital bliss, it’s indeed tough
When time comes to retire, to let go of action
Handing over the reins to the next generation!

Vanprasthashram- not a physical expedition,
Albeit a journey of awareness and self- actualisation,
Of detachment from the material world;
Time for the untouched spirituality to unfurl!
