Talk to yourself

Sujit Karna 1997 (Odisha)



Talk to yourself everyday.
    Not more but at least five minutes a day.
Ask yourself a question.
 Am I walking on the right path.
The path of honesty and truth.
   What is the purpose of my life?
You must ask this.
   Talk to yourself everyday.
Not more but at least five minutes a day.
   Think about the Lord who is so kind.
Be grateful to him for all the things.
   Keep your heart so pure.
Let the anger,greed and jealousy to go away.
  Never ask them to come again.
Let humility, acceptance and love be your friend.
   Then pray to the Almighty.
I am sure he will definitely come.
  When he will come.
What else you need?
   You will find ultimate joy.
So It's my humble request to you.
  Talk to yourself everyday.
Not more but at least five minutes a day.
