Selfishly, one can’t but be selfless.

Selfishness is not a disqualification

Nor selflessness is a qualification.

Nothing there to be proud of being selfless

And nothing there to be fearful of being selfish.

Selfishness is nothing but selflessness

And selflessness is nothing but selfishness.

Equally meant to support each other
And to maintain and sustain

The dance of life and course of survival.

***********

Selflessness is:

The selfishness of escaping and evading

The heat and hardship of pursuing

The wants and wars of selfishness.

Mostly helplessly,

But helpfully too.

Selfishness is:

Selflessness of undergoing

The heat and hardship of pursuing

The wants and wars of selfishness.

Mostly helplessly,

But helpfully too.

One can’t help but be selfless.

Or one can’t help but be selfish too.

Pursuing one’s own wants and desires,

One will have to leave

Its fruits and flowers

To all others selflessly

For and with no control.

************

That is how and why

Everyone is fed and supplied

With everything in life,

For survival.

That is how and why

Life is in its dance

Maintained and sustained.

****************************

The plants and trees:

Pursing their own wants

And collecting what all 

They can for that

Leave the fruits and flowers to all.

They can’t help but leave them to all.

They can’t stop anyone from enjoying them.

Helpless are they to be selfless.

Selfish are they to be selfless.

Selfless they leave them all to all.

********

They give birth to thousands

Selfishly with a view

To continue with its dream,

Genre and existence.

So are they selflessly leaving

Flowers, fruits and seeds to all.

Selfishly one serves selflessness.

*********** 

Honeybees too

With their long selfish hard work,

Helplessly, but selflessly,

Leave their sweet honey to all.

Selfishly, one can’t but be selfless.

Selflessly, one can’t but be selfish.

So, the dance and flow

Of this great universality,

The life, God.
