IF THE SMALL and inconspicuously tiny ant; could
foment the mammoth elephant to collapse on the ground,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the dainty and fragile wave had the power all by
itself to gradually culminate into the entire and
colossal ocean,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the minuscule spider could spin its web again at
thunderbolt speeds; even after it was viciously
destroyed infinite number of times,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the man who was completely blind; bereft of
indispensable centers of sight; could browse through
boundless lines of Braille in a single day,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the frigid looking and slimy worm could build a
mountain of mud; within just a matter of few hours;
dexterously carrying small pints of sand on its back,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the newly born infant could win over a million
hearts; without even uttering a word; just by the
virtue of its innocuous smile,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?

illuminate the entire cover of ghastly darkness; as it
burnt waveringly inside the solitary hut,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?

become the Prime Minister of his country one fine day,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the profoundly lazy and potbellied tortoise; could
win the race even when competing with the whirlwind
speed rabbit,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
If the miserably stone deaf beggar; could sing
melodious songs of enchanting music; being oblivious
to the most faintest trace of sound since his very
birth,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
And If the person even after being dead for infinite
years; be immortally present everywhere through the
spirit of his benevolent deeds,
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life
and lag behind?
