Abundance

Where is abundance??

I heard a rich man in temple :

“Oh my Lord,

Please bless me with success

To win more contracts,

More riches,

More power,

more….

I will donate 10% of it

As I have been doing.”

And a poor man in his hut :

"Oh God,

Thank you for

For today’s bread,

I could share it

With hungry neighbor."

Bells of the temple rang :

Not Riches outside,

Richness within

Creates abundance.

One more among the crowd

I carry within,

Died today.

I feel better as I light his pyre.

It has made me lighter.

With each death within,

I am getting lighter & lighter….

I can fly higher & higher.....

Love for him now is genuine.

No wants, no demands.

Just love…for being part of my world,

Love of one being to another.

Looking back I wonder

When did he get into me?

Why did I carry him so long?

Why?

Questions lead me

To a dead end

Beyond which are huge mountains….

I am unable to cross….

With each death within,

I am getting lighter & lighter,

Gravity weaker and weaker…

I can fly higher & higher.....

Will I cross this MOUNTAINS?

……To freedom?

Echoes

(  ( (  (((  E c h o e s  ))) ) )  )

Whisper so low,

Almost feeling and not voice.

Always playing

As if continuous echoes

Of flowing stream in a valley,

Heard clearly

In my silent moments,

Guiding me to walk

Path that lead to

Space Within.

……Many times not in the direction

That logically led to

Actions

Excitement

And immediate success.

It is a time to pause

And complete

And

Start afresh,

…..Leaving all unwanted baggage behind.”

Rest

Recharge

Connect

And sometimes

 put a full stop.
