In the concluding verses, the poet's voice emerges as a guiding light through the labyrinth of existential inquiry:
"Thus dwindled away
My seconds, hours,
And epochs
Of both mundane
And ascetic life;"
These words encapsulate a journey of introspection and acceptance, where the inevitability of death is embraced not with trepidation, but with a serene resolve to live authentically. Dr. Nial's poetic language resonates with a timeless urgency, urging us to confront mortality as an integral part of life's unfolding narrative.
Ultimately, "I HAVE TO DIE ONE DAY" transcends mere contemplation of mortality; it emerges as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and its capacity for profound self-discovery. Through Dr. Bhawani Shankar Nial's evocative verses, readers are invited to embark on a transformative journey where the pursuit of meaning intertwines seamlessly with the graceful acceptance of life's impermanence.
