(N.N.Pal)
You and life need a thing,
Not so rare, you can bring,
From the rill, and the spring.
Dear friend, that is water,
It helps life to run better,
To have it, doesn't matter.
One may say it only motion,
That brings a rill to the ocean,
Is it not the spring's passion ?
In the water motions rest,
With the passion it is drest,
Both jointly make life best.
I say it is river's goal,
To the ocean it must roll,
As to 'His place' runs our soul.
Oh ! God, be much kind ,
So that in me I do find,
Your tint and a good mind .

What does the poet say ?
The poet here points out that one thing is essential in life and one can find that easily from the spring and river. The thing is not a rare one as it is known to all sensible person ,all observers of life. (1)
The coveted thing is the water that is the very essence of life and the life of the rivers. Water is the life as water helps to run a life. Water is the life of a river as it is the very water which keeps the motion or current, the life of streams or rills. It is very easy to fetch water from rivers. (2)
A person may say that the essential thing for life is nothing but motion that is the very life of a rill.The current or the motion of the river brings it to the ocean . It is the passion of a river as the only aim of all rivers, all springs is to mingle with the limitless water,the sea.(3)
The life of river is water as well as the motion which are inseparable.Motion is found in the water and without water the term motion is meaningless. The passion is latent in these two things. One may say that the water and the motion is dressed with the passion. These three things - water, motion and passion - jointly lead a river smoothly , metaphorically may run a life lively.(4)
Everything in this world is created by god for a valid purpose. Everything has a definite aim. The aim of a river is to run at its own accord and mingle with the limitless ocean. similarly,the aim of man's soul is to run to his place, i.e. to be united with the supreme creator or God. (5)
Human beings like to have a tint of God in him/her and having it become grateful to God. His/Her earnest request to God is for a good mind which would help him/her to love others and to surrender completely himself before to God. (6)
