A seed germinates in mother Earth.
It receives the Water underneath.
It comes out of its seasonal trance-
Looks up towards the Sky for light-
Feels the Wind, breathes and carries-
The burning Fire for its growth
And grow it does upwards and downwards-
The two growths equal in magnitude-
To seat the Tree on the earth-
The growth directions different
Its karma, face down rooted deep, rests.
Its outward consequences remain exuberant.
They weather down all storms and lightning-
All cyclones, gales, fires and floods
One day thence it goes uprooted.
Karma ceases, it does not last.
All those consequences vanish.
A life once mooted once derived-
Thus goes into oblivion.
His Manifestation is this.
Upside down is illusion ours.
To comprehend it, is beyond human reach.
