Who and where is a Saint?

Our Ancient teachings say a Saint is someone,

Who has mastered control over his five senses.

Viz, Ego, Greed, Lust, Attachment and Anger.

Is pure, simple, steadfast, knowledgeable and free from Hunger.

In Ancient times, we had such persons,

We do not find such variety now.

Present day Saints and Preachers have modern outlook,

They possess materialistic things and hardly go by the book.

They seldom practice what they preach.

Ride in limousines, fly in jets, live in palaces much beyond a common person’s reach.

So where do I find a True Saint.

I look around and see the Saint in many common guys,

Sincere, Simple, Honest, Dedicated and with family ties.

Saints are present among us all,

God fearing men and women, who quietly carry on doing their job whether big or small.

Let us follow these Saints.

Guchi.
