There may exist various types of lamps <br />They'd have been from different camps. <br /> <br />They may exist made of various materials <br />They may be made for the Imperials. <br /> <br />They may exist in divergent shapes <br />In multifarious forms even as of grapes. <br /> <br />They may exist in many hues predominant <br />Made of disparate colours prominent. <br /> <br />They may contain oils multiform <br />Each with a varying viscosity norm. <br /> <br />They may hold distinct types of wicks <br />Each made of diverse sticks and picks. <br /> <br />Though the lamps are amply diversified <br />In all aspects they are one from inside. <br /> <br />And when all of them are ignited <br />Lo! They are in the same way lighted! <br /> <br />All have the same light energy of flame <br />A gas in excited state, the plasma—to name. <br /> <br />All forms of lamps from their foundation <br />Emit the same brilliant illumination. <br /> <br />There may exist different views of the Divine <br />And different paths may exist to reach the Divine. <br /> <br />But the mode of approach to attain the goal <br />Is our sincere effort to pray with heart and soul.<br /><br />chandra thiagarajan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pray-sincerely/
