SINCERITY
Truth in its naked form is sincerity,
Its ingredients are godliness, realism and purity,
Sincere person is married to piety,
Who, for truth’s sake, will sacrifice everything,
To keep a word he gives without misgiving,
Also, is the one who for truth’s sake,
Will never give and take on ideas he holds dear,
That is why he is held dear by others everywhere,
Greed touches him not,
Not swayed by any external influences,
Hot and cold, happiness and sadness has no affect on him,
Maintains equanimity in all situations,
Showiness trembles where he ventures,
Spreads fragrance by his presence,
His actions and reactions exhibit harmony,
Rational are his emotions with no tinge of vanity,
Passionately he wins every being with his sweetness,
He gives words and sticks to these,
That is why his words are trusted by low and highs,
Consciously, he is his own master to the area he surveys,
Is not dictated by anyone crossing his ways,
Believes in the dictum, ‘charity begins at home’,
Cleanses his conscious daily like one brooms a room,
Sermons others not,
But follows high-quality principles without qualms,
His best is the one which is loved by others,
Divorced from inner conflicts,
His body and soul work in tandem,
For a cause held dear by his conscience,
Rich in integrity and abundant in intelligence,
Holds his head high in the comity of people,
With immensity in patience and tolerance,
His sincerity is an open book with little attached secrecy,
Easily to be read by anybody who tries,
Abundance in essential sincerity, physical sincerity and spiritual sincerity,
He is more near to our Lord than anybody could ever guess.
