Illuminated Darshana
You can shoot this body,
But you cannot shoot this soul,
This soul is free and beyond your control.You can give an eye,
But you cannot give the vision,
The vision is a gift of grace,
Not a matter of decision.You can raise your voice,
But you cannot raise the spirit,
The spirit is a matter of faith,
Not a product of your merit.You can give a spark,
But you cannot give the light,
The light is a source of life,
Not a product of your might.

Let me interpret my thoughts for writing this; you can share yours in the comments.
The soul is more valuable than the body; the body serves as the vessel, while the soul is its driving force.
While eyes is there to see, true vision is not something everyone have. It is not merely a matter of belief, but of envisioning.
Raising your voice is one thing, but incorporating the true spirit is another. Spirit cannot be attained through with your academic achievements alone.
Giving a spark is within our capacity (with so called Motivation), but providing light requires more. Light represents life and understanding, which come not from actions but from inner illumination and wisdom.
