Hymn to Man | Chandra Kumar Aggarwala

Hymn To Man

Individuals grow and weather, and grow again
The race never ends but continues forever
The human race is mysterious
Why call man mortal?
Devote yourself entirely to the service of man
Man must feel for man and love him
Love is the very sould of religion
We always move and live among men, our associates
He is greater than all
This earth of ours is the best of all places
Earth is man’s natural home
Man is God and worthy of adoration
There isnothing greater that man.
Worship him with votive offerings
All glory to man – The God.
