Your fragrance delights my mind
Such a lovely and sweet fragrance you emit
No one else in the world is as fragrant as you are
... someone said to the flower

The flower replied *blushed*
Nay, its nothing
The fragrance of Earth is far more sweeter than mine
I am nothing in front of it
This little bit of fragrance which emits from me was given to me by Earth
The Earth is filled with abundant fragrance

When the Earth was praised
Earth replied *blushed*
What am I? I am nothing
The real fragrance comes from rain
When the rain showers from the clouds
Its fragrance smears deep inside me
Without rain, I am just a barren land, a desert
If you want to smell the real fragrance
Watch the rain clouds gather in the sky
There's nothing inside me

When the Raincloud was praised
Raincloud said *blushed*
What am I?
The real fragrance comes from Indra
He just asks me to shower and I obey him
The real fragrance comes from his finger
that points me to shower on land

When Indra was praised
Indra answered *blushed*
I am nothing
Its the fragrance of Vishnu
The sustainer of all
He sustains me as well
Whatever fragrance I have, comes from him

When Vishnu was praised
Vishnu replied *blushed*
No, the creator of everything is Brahma
He made me as well
And if I wasn't made how could I have emit fragrance
Brahma is supreme fragrant

When Brahma was praised
Brahama said *blushed*
What am I?
My most beloved creation is Man
Just like the painting of an artist
Poetry of a poet
And sculpture of a sculptor
Man is my most beloved creation and the most fragrant

And when asked to the Man
The Man replied *proudly*
You Idiot!!
Who else could be more fragrant than me?
Are you blind? Can't you see?
- Kabir
-------

Can't you see??... Can't you see??

The flower is fragrant
The earth is fragrant
The whole universe is...

But man is not
Man is not.
