In Jainism and Hinduism, Saraswati is revered as the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, art, music and speech, while Laxmi is revered as the goddess of wealth, prosperity, fortune, love, joy and beauty.

In my musings, I imagined what if these two goddesses would have a conversation in contemporary times.

Saraswati :
I pity humankind.
They have eyes, but
still they are blind.

Laxmi :
Are you jealous,
because towards you
they are generally callous?
