WHAT CAN I GIVE????? (by APJ ABDUL KALAM)

 I would like to share one event which took place on the last evening, 24th July 2007 of my life tenure at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, which is the house of the President of india. I went around all the gradens. Cretain beautiful event occurred during the visit and also unique scenes flashed througth my mind. I composed the poem on an integrated way depicting all that i saw and imagined. The name of the poem-------What can i give.

1.

One evening, a beautiful evening

I was in a mission of thanks giving 

To my families of nature.

Reached the hut in the Mughal Garden 

In the midst of the dense banyan grove.

Herbal fragrance filled all around,

Musical fountain with rhythm of Shehnai.

Hundreds of intoxicated parrots by the music.

One young banyan tree, talked to me''O! Kalam

in all seasons, with trunks rooted on earth 

We absorb all the heat in the mid days 

We give shelter to so many birds.

Give shade and cool breeze 

To animals and humans all around.

What man gives, tell me Kalam,''

''O my young friend, you have given 

A grat message of Giving, 

Continue your God's mission of giving and giving.''

2.

Suddenly many parrots came and sat

All around the branches of the tree 

in the serene banyan grove,

Lighted the place beautiful and glittering.

One Parrot, shot a question to me; 

''We 'the parrots are beautiful!

As your poetic words picture us 

O Kalam, can you fly on your own?'' 

''O! No my friends, you are blessed, 

Continue the mission of spreading happiness.''

My human pride completely melted.

3.

A new scene emerged

With a family of eght peacocks and peahens,

Surrounding me seated in the hut

Three of the peacocks with fully unfurled wings,

Danced and danced, it was a heavenly sights,

Never seen, three peacocksin my graden,

All dancing in a place same time, 

Time stood still.

A younger one looked at me 

''Kalam sir, can you remember me?''

''O friend, you are alike.''

The peacock said, i was the one lying semiconscious 

in front of your office, you brought the doctor, Sudhir 

You touched me with kindness.

Then i did not know anything, 

Except i was on the operation table of Sudhir.

The tumor in my throat was removed. 

Medicine givien and i was fed and cured.

The docoter handed over me to you,

You blessed me and let me fly.

In Biodiversity park with happiness rising

Today Kalam sir, we gave you 

A final thanks giving dance.''

''O my young friend,

God has blessed you with 

A great quality called gratitude

Continue spreading it where you go!''

4.

Entered into the bio-diversity park 

Deer heards with their little ones 

They ran and ran,

The laeder marching with horns straights,

Glanced at me and said ''I am the leader of the deer''

There was a formation of deer,

The horned leader leader was bowing his head 

Then a miracle happened.

One lovely deer, a young one slowly and 

Slowly advanced towards me,

And started licking my hand 

Looked at me and said

NUCLEAR WEAPON-FREE WPRLD IS THE MISSION OF MY LIFE ( by APJ ABDUL KALAM )

DIMENSIONS OF SPIRITUAL 

SCIENCE

DFEE

Nuclear wepon-free world is the mission of thw life 

Now i would like to recall the time i spent with a revered Saint who is an epitome of peace. My first experience with Acharya Mahapragya was at Adhyatma Sadhna Kendre, at around midnight at Mehrauli in Oct 1999. Onthat night, he prayed three times with his distinguished Jain monks forthe welfare of the nation and the people. After the prayers, he gave a divine message to me,

which still reverberates in the my mind. He said ''Kalam, God bless you for what you have done

with your team. God Almighty has bigger mission for you and that is why you are here with me today. I know our country is nuclear nation now. The mission for you is greater than what you and  your team have done, and it is greater than any human being had ever done. The nuclear wepons

are proliferating in tens and thousands in the world. I command you and you only with all the divine blessings at my disposal to inevent a 'peace system' and find a solution to make the same nuclear weapons ineffeective, insingnificant and politically inconsequential.'' When Acharyaji fini-shed his great advice, there was a pin drop silence. It appeared to me as thouhg the confluence of

heaves concurred with the saintly message. The command shook me for the first time in my 68 years of life ( I was 68 at that time). It has since then become a challenge working on me and has 

become a motto of my life.
