Colours are illusion

ରଂଗହୀନ ନୁହେଁରଂଗର ଜନ୍ମଦା

ସପ୍ତରଂଗ ସେ ଯେ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଧନୁ

ଶ୍ବେତରଂଗ ହିଁ ଯେ ରଂଗ ର ଆଧାର

ଶୋଭା ଦିଏ ଯାହା ପୃଥିବୀ ତନୁ

ସତ୍ବ ରଜ ତମ ତ୍ରୟି ଗୁଣ ଯେବେ

ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ତହିଁଏକା ଶ୍ବେତ କମଳ

ସାରା ସଂସାରକୁ କିରଣ ଦିଅଇ

ସେ ରଂଗ ରବିର ଶ୍ବେତ ସକଳ

ମୁଢଜନକହେ ରଂଗହୀନ ଏହା

ଅବିରା,ମୃତ୍ୟୁର ରଂଗ ଏହି

ବୁଦ୍ଧ ଜନ ସିନା ଜାଣଇ ସତ୍ୟତା

ରଂଗ ବୋଲି ବ୍ରହ୍ମାଣ୍ଡରେ ନାହିଁ 

This Odia poem has been written by Sasmita Pradhan who is working as a Teacher in Bishalkhinda Nodal UP School, Sambalpur. It is all about Colours which is just an illusion, but we people do not understand it. When we add all seven colours then white colour is created, this is truth. There is no colour in the world where as we people discriminate them either as good or bad. In Christianity they use White colour as the symbol of graveyard, likewise in Hindu religion widows wear sarees of this colour after the death of their husbands. It is also scientifically proven  there is no Colours in the world. We see the colours due to colour pigments that are present in the eyes of the beholder.
