The word means to summarize, they said.
Synthesise
Tell in short
Say much in little
Perhaps, in just one word.
What do we want in life
Mukhtasar se?
Relentless action, excitement
Ceaseless strife pushing on and on?
Battles and victories galore, or
Being well-aligned, grounded
Peace, tranquillity, contentment?
What the world yearns for
And within us, all of us
Perhaps more than anything else –
Silence.
To be silent.
