Possessing august spirituality and refined thoughts,
Altering the Chicago Parliament of religion's fate

Lectures imperative on the individuality of religion,
Delving deep into the truth earlier unfound

And became his most noteworthy disciple in a while.

Bringing in each of their face an everlasting smile.

He infused awakening of the soul in nations.

A legend for the forthcoming generations.

What is human life meant for?

What is human life meant for?
If not loving each other forgetting war!
If not going through straights and bends!
If not having dependence on friends!
If not supporting near and dear ones!
If not spinning round future, present, bygones!
If not trusting people who loves you!
If not knowing what is false, what is true!
If not hearing a needy' s cry!
If not helping them standing by!
If not utilising every virtuous chance!
If not having a beautiful trance!
If not exploring the huge earth!
If not discovering the real mirth!
If not finding the endless peace!
If not perceiving spiritual bliss!
If not following the saint's trod!
If not uniting the soul with God!
What is human life meant for?
If not loving each other forgetting war!
