To wander, missing the goal

The king had a halt to pass out the night.

The charioteer had to guard the horse

For which he must not sleep throughout the night.

The king suggested him thinking on something.

The king woke up a few hours later and

Found him awake thinking about something.

Questioned, he told he was counting the stars.

Complimenting him, the king went to sleep.

The king woke up after a few hours and

Found him awake with something in mind.

Asked, he said that he was watching the clouds.

Patting on his back, the king went to sleep.

The king woke up in the early hour and

Found him still awake and felt quite assured.

‘I was thinking if the horse left itself

Or someone chased it.’, he said candidly.

He took full efforts not to fall asleep

And in the process he missed the purpose.

Devotion to the rites and the rituals

Will tie you to the religion, not the God.
