Evening. Closer to truth.



 As a day slowly turns into an evening,
Brightness, shine and brilliance fade,
Vigor diminishes.

And
Revealed are true colors,
Beauty that cools.




For
Consciousness reveals itself easily
Through a fading form.
Sense of beingness begins to free
From mix up with form.


Soon
Form will dissolve.
Day will be over.





Stillness of night
Is eternal.
Truth.
Expressed again as Dawn.

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.

Monkey and me


On the top of the summit
In the deep danger
On the moon
In the mysterious matrix
Rising,
Falling,
Moving,
Fast ….Slow…..
Unstoppable,
Here one moment,
There another.

Watching it in motion
Is
……..Stillness.
Call it :
Witness
Observer
Consciousness
Awareness
………………

"Mind is like a monkey" Satya Sai

Born free

Born free.

Taught importance of
Grades
Success
Power
Control.

Passing through life
preoccupied
By desire to win…..
Manipulating,
Toiling
Tired…

....Voice from within
Heard in quiet moments
“Life is not a game
To win or lose.
It is about
Being open to love…. freely.



It is a dance

Enjoy!

Celebrate!"

Mountains

Mountains


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?

Fun & Play !


Stiff, unable to bend,
Left alone to fend,
Life isn’t child’s play.


Bend to meld and blend
And never alone to fend
Life is fun and play!

Train me to attend,
Prepare me to assist,
Groom me to be your servant

And

To serve You for life.

And I will play Your tune

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.
