Vashistha Shastra

Thunder strikes heavily in the dark sky,

Arundhati comes with an ending candle on her way.

"Oh my husband no more candle stay

How to pass this night away?"

The Great Sage wakes up from his seat,

Stands, smiles and said to relax with ease.

"Why so much worry dear?

When viswamitra Ashram is too near.

Go and ask him for a candle,

To break the darkness along with your fear.

Arundhati becomes Startled & emotional,

Posed herself strong and tells she can never be there,

Even if she has to live without food or light,

She never thinks visiting that house is right. 

"Oh My Lord How do you expect me to go near that Demon?

Who killed my all sons having no mercy upon.

I don't know which kind of Father You are!

But I am not so Great Maharshi like You, let me stay far.

I can't forgive the one who destroyed my motherhood, the real murderer 

And How are you asking me to go to that scandaler?"

Mahrishi brought a happy face and said;

"Oh! Dear why you think so?

He is the best person as much I know. "

"He is the one who made free from all relations of mine,

By killing my sons of age nine.

What needs more for a sage-like me?

Peace, Devotion and all will get fine."

Suddenly a large thunder falls on the Ashram heavily,

The door falls apart by mind and appears a figure manly. 

With a large sword in his,

Tears on face and how regretful he is.

He falls at the feet of Vasistha,

Asking sorry for his decisions.

"Today I come here to kill You as well,

For not making me a Brahmashri dwell."

Again Mahrashi Smiled with peace,

"Oh! Brahmashri get up!

Now hold up your new position."

Rains coming from vishwamitra's face,

Washed Maharishi feet showing respect, sorry and grace.

Arundhati gets angry about it!

"Oh my lord, Why didn't you do it earlier?

Atleast I may not have lost my dears."

Vasistha now explains,

"It is the power of patience and love dear,

Today his tears made him pure,

Now he is ready to be a Brahmashri for sure."

At last it is completely clear,

The power of Truth, Love, and patience

Can bring a big change in life of yours.

See how the sage get saved from the attack,

Its the power of Love's glow,

Which can melt a rock to flow.
