Aansu - a Poem written by Jaishankar Prasad in Hindi

Just a little remniscence of what I studied decade ago in Hindi.

The poetry book's name is Aansu, meaning Tears.

He just narrates, how tears are so powerful and gives us many similes for tears.

Tears, when they come for others, they are so valuable.  I think, as Kamal says in the Movie, Vasool Raja MBBS, by crying for ourselves again and again, slowly we start empathising with other's pains too.

Swami Vivekananda also says, " Do u feel the pain in the nerves of ur brain, when u see the poor and wretched ppl of India, Do ur heart cries for them"  Tears gives the power to serve others.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says " Cry for God, Have u seen how a lover cries to see his or her love, like that cry for God, have u seen a child crying for his/her mother, like that cry for God, God will come unto u"  I just wanted to follow this and tried crying before God in Temple, it never came to me.  But, when the circumstances became bad and I became like a stone, rough and tough, and sought nothing from God and felt wretched before God, Staring at God, asking nothing, Tears rolled out on my cheeks without any control.  That is Tears, they come on their own!

Tears are valuable!
