Krishna Chandra Sharma
A true hermit, a Bodhisatva
Living for others’ welfare
A divine soul in a living body
God manifested in human form
Lost personal interests
Lost personal cravings
But keeps passion for human community
Passion for divine energy
For the purpose of human welfare
He, a spirit enlightened
Lost the gap between body and soul
Both overlap each other
Ego ‘I’ is changed to
Plural welfare ‘we’
A community of good spirits.
