Lofty Principles and Deeds

It is very easy to talk about lofty principles
and deeds.
So many gurus and masters are
already doing it for ages.
So many gurus and masters have
also been brought down to earth
when they make mistakes – big or small
because after all,
they are human beings
and nobody should forget that.

Just as nobody should forget
whatever meditation he or she
may be following
with at least some regularity.
Otherwise, the meaning of life is lost
in most petty pursuits
and even more petty gains
that we keep running after
all our lives.
