Krishna krishna--Meaning of a portion of this malayalam song by P.Leela--nice one
How without reflection
We roast and eat out life in vain.
After how many lifetimes of labour
We were born here by luck!
How many lifetimes spent in water,
How many lifetimes lived like trees,
How many lifetimes as beasts, as cattle
Ere we could be born as men?
After so much hard labour
We fell into our mother's womb,
Ten months have been spent in the womb,
Ten or twelve years spent as a child too
And the rest of the time not knowing ourselves
We spend in self-centred vain glory.

i did not know what i was yesterday
i do not know what i will be tomorrow
the life span decreases as the desires increase
it is You who lifts a man to the heights
within a day, from rags to riches.
it is You who hangs the sack of a pauper
on the shoulders of the richest of men.
