Ratan lives
Only the body
goes back to the dust
from which it was born
Mind remains,
multiplied in the minds
of the millions he mentored
Heart continues
to heal hundreds
in hospitals for animals and humans
Recorded voice
keeps inspiring values
in an increasingly corrupt world
Admirers of Ratan
do assimilate his ethics
from the ashes he leaves behind
Honour him
with honesty, humility, hard work
in thought, word, action
That will surely make him smile
at the elevated state
he exists in now.
