Compromise
When we fail to form, ‘one world body’ consolidated;/separate ‘world bodies’ will prove them outdated./When we fail to stay together, as one family,/and go on fighting for excuses petty and silly. If others we cannot let live happily/it is better to compromise and think for solutions new.
Two words are very suggestive, for our community;/awareness and alliance for welfare and integrity./If we are helpless with conflictive distorted mind;/doubts of intentions naturally we’ll find. In family too, children and parents differ/young ones today, to stay separate peacefully prefer.
It is likely that everyone has different trends/to preserve family relations; division has better ends. The serious problem of Ambani had no solution any,/Two brothers quarrel for their gains, with pretexts many./At last decided wisely, to have separate ruling sectors/in the interest of many; the wise settlement offers.
Our community should think on the line of compromise,/Orthodox and reformist camps, can have their ways wise,/they can maintain amicable relations by living apart/With the inclination of the welfare and unity at heart./Cultural attitudes are different in East and West,/to form one world body is an effort in waste.
Let us try to bring unity among ourselves first here,/Dreaming of world unity would then wise appear. Bury the ‘Hareman’ of ego, to stop disputations in public,/They will never end. It definitely makes us weak./In the protective hands of Ahura, our destiny is sound!/Let us have faith, time will make safe ground.
