The Lion Does Not Announce Its Strength
The lion rests beneath the shade of a tree.
It does not roar to prove its strength.
It does not seek approval.
Its power is simply there,
quiet, natural and complete.
The banyan tree stands silently.
Its roots hold the earth,
its branches shelter life,
and it never speaks of its strength.
I am rooted in the same silent power.
The mountain stands tall.
It never boasts of its height.
It never asks to be seen.
Yet the whole valley feels its presence.
I stand in the same unshakable stillness.
Thunder roars and disappears.
But the power beneath the earth
remains deep and endless.
I am not the noise of strength.
I am the power behind it.
The sun does not announce its arrival.
It simply rises
and darkness disappears.
I shine without effort,
because light is my nature.
The river does not fight the rocks.
It flows with patience,
and slowly shapes the hardest stone.
My power is steady.
My power is effortless.
A tiny seed breaks through the soil.
No sound, no announcement,
only the silent power of life
rising towards the light.
The same infinite power lives within me.
The elephant walks with quiet confidence.
It does not fear the crowd.
It does not hurry to prove anything.
I move through life
with the same calm presence.
I do not need to prove my strength.
I do not need to compete.
I do not need to announce my greatness.
My power is not borrowed.
My power is not created by recognition.
It is eternal, complete and absolute.
I rest in silence.
I stand in stillness.
I act without fear.
I remain unshaken.
I am the strength that needs no announcement.
I am the power that does not diminish.
I am still. I am silent. I am unshakable.
Nothing needs to be proved. Everything is already within me.
