“No Teacher for Present (The Sonnet) Life's purpose is realization of life, Beyond the narrowness of yesterday. Instead of waiting for a fictitious future, Life is whatever you make of it today. The past is always afraid of the future, Don't let their fear ruin your present. The future may be condescending to the past. Don't let such arrogance ruin your humanness. Embrace the wonders that the past has to offer, Learn from their blunders even through their denial. Be mindful of the direction that you are headed, Then leap to work on the present, lock, stock 'n barrel. Neither past nor future is qualified to teach the present. All present must find their way free from all allegiance.” — Abhijit Naskar
No Teacher for Present (The Sonnet)
Life's purpose is realization of life,
Beyond the narrowness of yesterday.
Instead of waiting for a fictitious future,
Life is whatever you make of it today.
The past is always afraid of the future,
Don't let their fear ruin your present.
The future may be condescending to the past.
Don't let such arrogance ruin your humanness.
Embrace the wonders that the past has to offer,
Learn from their blunders even through their denial.
Be mindful of the direction that you are headed,
Then leap to work on the present, lock, stock 'n barrel.
Neither past nor future is qualified to teach the present.
All present must find their way free from all allegiance.
