Who is better

Sandip Saha

One guy was initiated by a godman
the disciple thought now he was safe
specially after he got his son.
Things went topsy turvy after that
losing sister by cancer, mother died
in a span of eighteen days
he himself was hospitalized
lost money not getting leave, reimbursement
but not a word came from his spiritual guru.
He discarded his guru in anger
called all gurus are mostly gorus (or cows) derogatorily
depended on himself only for survival.

Another guy left home to become a monk
but failed and came back got married.
He was not a child but of eighteen years of age
when got married but deserted his wife forever.
He went to politics became a chief minister
when he almost lost his post for controversy
his political guru saved him.
Later, he ditched his same guru, side lined him
in order to grab the post of the prime minister
he collaborated with a person who called his guru
‘Old pickle of pungent smell’
perhaps due to which this man later died of cancer.

Now in every birthday of his guru he visits him
he also visits his hundred years old mother
on his own birthday, bows down to her, washes her feet
always under the camera to get publicized.
How a man of this nature can be a monk?

Who do you think is a better person between the two?
