Album of virtual images ?!

Born with nothing; go back with nothing
At some point, an album we grab
We behold it close to our hearts
Only to fill the empty pages soon

With eyes open, or closed,
All we see are but virtual images
People we see, objects we experience
Places we visit, actions we do
Vivid and real though they appear
All but are virtual moving images

Waste not time in protecting hard
these virtual images of the past
By and by, past enjoyed in future;
becomes our life-style; Beware!

All we are striving hard is..
To hold tight the loving breeze
To grab the free flowing river
To capture this virtual world..
Alas, virtuality trying to covet virtuality :-D

23. Life-given & taken .... Strange game indeed!

Life, I see all around
One day, snatched away from us
Why at all is it given

Giver of life, ofcourse not a fool
To give it to us, to take it away
Life breathed in us all
Rests back with a 'hope'
A hope that a few may taste it

To taste life has He given to us
None to blame if one tastes not while alive
As rules pervade, He takes it one day
But leaves us not from tasting

Plans to pack us in bodies different
With the same hope, indeed
Persistent gets He with His game
Before death-bells ring
Let's fulfill His one small hope & leave

22. The lovely cosmic play..

It existed, all Alone by itself
Filling Its Formless essence
A pure Being-ness was all It was
Struck upon a decision, sudden...

To enjoy Its essence in forms !

Mountains rose, rivers flowed
Creepers flowered, birds flew
Stood the animals, talked the humans

The play ground now all set;
It played & still plays on :)

21. Real-ize your Real eyes !

This visual display around
A treat indeed for our eyes..
Blink quick do we, with greed
To catch more & more of this display

Eyes kept wide open while awake
Engulfing & enjoying virtually
As the day ends, eyes get tired
Close in, reluctantly to sleep
While asleep, too do we see
This same virtual treat, as dreams !

Day & night, eyes see indeed
Only but through the MIND
Constantly coveting, judging & possessing..
all that is seen !
Surpassing sensitivity, gratitude & fascination
for the life seen around

Real-ize your real-eyes lie deep
Deep inside your dear HEART
Try looking once through your real eyes
For it sees the same world differently
What is seen is not just seen, it is Felt..

These eyes know not Noise
But knows honesty, innocence & simplicity
Leading to sensitivity & awe..

Life & death are felt deeper
For these eyes know they never shall die
These real-eyes know only but Love
And love knows no fear & foe
Possessing nothing seen along
It just sees, touches, loves & moves on

20. Comparison - The Green-eyed Monster

Every child born unique
Filled with potentials and talents
To express them is prime
Fulfillment to be touched
Being the only purpose of taking birth

On landing, blinded get we
By a green-eyed monster
His name being 'Comparison & Jealousy'
Fills the inner chambers of us
Strangling us to live else's desires

This needle of comparison may poke us
Deflated we fall and scramble
Let's forget not to soar high
As happy as a vivid bright balloon
Flying free, up in the blues !

19. Do u know something?

Power to see, love and laugh

All a result of us being ALIVE

Taking it for granted

Tiring all our senses, maximum

Birthright, a thing frequently claimed,

with fervor and arrogance…

Our very birth itself not being our right

Where’z the question of birthright?

Life’s a lottery

A pure grace from the Ultimate

Let’s accept with humility

What’s being showered continuously.

Our wants know no end

Never do we stop by and think;

‘I’m contented, I’m so grateful…’

Our minds trained to think thus;

‘Let me gather more, My friend has more…’

Time has come to rewire our thoughts

Software of our minds needing updation

Power-filled words from an enlightened

Is the one and only key, friend…

18. Alone goes a Loner !

Feeling lonely do we,
Frantically look for a company
Be it human, pet or a book..
Even worries, dreams as companions

For just one whole day, let us sink into the truth of alone-ness..
It's just you & you alone
No friend, no foe, no greed, no fear
No races, no degrees, no birth, no death !

Who is it who's born, lives & dies?
The seeker of companionship?
Or a lover or an illusionary object?
Which we claim as 'Me' !

Indeed the virtual seeks virtual
Seeking company or support of any sort
With a notion of getting soaked,
We get wet with relationships

Alas, we fail to perceive
Whatever we touch, indulge in
Or make many of it our very own,
A vividness inside us still remains..
Totally untouched at any cost.
That IS what we need to touch base with
You may call it 'Consciousness', 'God', or 'Witness'

Truth yet remainsuntouched
That we all were, are and shall be alone..
Before & after our so-called start and end :-) ! ?

17. Make today your last day..

Don't let days roll into nights
Alive with the routine in place
Seek for that which takes the 'I' & 'Mine away..
Yes!; earnestly seek for death while yet in body
Why keep the climax unknown

Maintain physical health till then...
Till when you go through death
Maintain not your frame to stay alive & ignorant;
Ignorant about what actually dies & what does not

Death-bells when ring..
Do we actually welcome it?
I think not, for we are not ready at all..
Lot more to-do lists piled up

With the hour-glass in hand
Consciously go behind having it boldly
For this alone frees man
Frees him from ALL fears & expectations
Making him realize that immortality within him

Death appears like being squashed in pain
As though not letting someone snatch that which is yours
It is but justified to feel dear and near..
to our mortal frames, names & its shadows

When it actually arrives
Get not squeezed out at the end
Strongly intend n work towards easing out at will

Go through it; See for yourself
Why get perplexed as 'what it could be like?!'
Why imagine the truth?
Why worship the enlightened & stagnate?
Let's be in par with them all
& not stay afar with awe & respect
In common, all but have died while alive..

Miss not a chance when death-fear erupts or is triggered
Allow it, welcome it, watch it, go through it..
with all your love, curiosity & enthusiasm

Let's face the certain now & here
& not wander about assuming it as uncertain
Fear not, hate not, imagine not
Simply welcome it, go till the end of this dark tunnel..
Only to fly out free and care-free !

As though just un-caged :)
For only an un-caged one knows the pain of the caged
Choice is yours..
Just Go for it!

16. Possess none; get possessed by love

In true love, u can’t possess
She knows only, but to flow on

Do u love your beloved?
Do u love your home?
So, do u love your assets?
Possess not them..

Do u love your talents & skills?
Likewise your profession?
Do u love working hard?
Also your salary?
Possess them not…Beware !

Do u love your body?
So do u love your intellect and intelligence?
Do u love your identity u carry?
And all the labels and tags?
And also your knowledge?
Do u love your experiences?
Likewise, all your memories do u love?
Possess them not, at all !

Do u love life?
Do u love being special?
Chosen one are u, do u love that feeling?
Do u love God?
Do u love the Truth?
Surely, try not possessing them all..

For all that you love cannot be possessed
Get possessed by love alone
Let the object be love, & subject too
Lose yourself in love, engulfed by her touch
Become one with Her, the Goddess of Love
For She alone IS and She alone will be

Burdens of the binding strings snap off..
True Self shines forth then

15. Only Love's in the Air !

Insensitive are we all
to the vivid love in the air

Just be open & innocent,
For every single moment brings surprises
A surprising love that pervades

A hungry crow calls in the distant
All its friends gather & feast

As the evening Sun sinks down
A triumphant dog runs across with a food packet

A cool breeze gently kisses your forehead
After a hectic day's work

A bed of scented flowers for you to walk on!
Made ready by a shedding tree

People unknown pour their hearts out
As a waiter, a watchman, a driver or a vendor

The list goes endless..
For this all-pervading love,
Cannot be boxed in words mere

Every movement around you
Visible or imperceivable by your senses
Arises from a zone of Life, zone of Love alone !
Just watch carefully & feel it

A kind of stillness, a kind of life, a kind of love
Is all there IS....

14. Stillness of Life !

At a medical school, I saw..
A body of a dead man
All around me were blades sharp,
Ready to cut him open bare and study...

Moving with life was he, a day before
Now, still & life-less on the table
Life do we all study;
With his stillness... What an irony !

Life's all about movement
Actions, activities & travel..
are we all fond of, while alive
Movement indeed is thought & emotion

Relate do we all in movement
All levels of relationships..
Be it with one's Self,
Or with another, or with Nature
All based on movements indeed

Does a zone of stillness exist?
While we're alive, not dead :)
Ceasing all movements..
Movements of thought, action & care
Can one relate or emote
From this zone of stillness ?

For this movement of life..
Is the movement of Stillness !
Is that so? .. think for yourselves ! :)

13. Come here for.. ?!

Have come on Earth here..
Not for mundane discussions
About survival mere

Food, shelter & water..
Talked about ALL day..
Made it a big fuss, haven't we?

Birds & animals fuss not,
Nor discuss the mundane
Yet live on, with hearts light :)

I have not come here for..
Involving in talks mundane
But to melt my very Self
Into your endless grandeur

Eyes, ears open to your vivid display
Want to remain fascinated forever...
Forever & ever.. until I lose myself into Thee !

12. Live NOT to Impress..

 

A plant in the corner,
Lives not to impress any
So do the singing birds,
or the busy ants & spiders

Here comes a man calculating his moves
Actions arising to impress another
Life reduced to a gamble
Ah! he is blinded

The words we speak,
The clothes we display
Our very gait we carry,
All to impress upon another !

Claiming that 'Love' we show
Is all but a drama
To sell an idea thus -
'Hey, look, I'm a good person'

Fall not for flattery
Make no room for flattering too
For, artificial gets our life
& Quick does the Sun set down !!

11. All done to Un-cover Thee..!

He appears as a puzzling Heart-Wave ~^-~
Or a handful of hormones at vivid play
Shows up does He as an intriguing Physics equation
Or pops up as a bubbling Chemical reaction

All laws, theories, hypotheses
Born out of a deep curiosity, not of Ego
Just to Un-cover & get closer..
To who our CREATOR is !!

Humbler should one get
As more uncovering of The Creator happens
Alas! one rockets up with ego & pride
For gathering some degrees & some money :)

10: Ah! How do I explain?

                                                      

To a man blind,
How do i explain the vivid azure of the sun-set?

To one not tasted sugar before,
How do i explain its sweetness?

To one who's deaf,
How do i explain the melody of a flute?

To a child with no legs,
How do i explain the joy of dancing?

To a Being with NO yearning for God,

How do i explain that bliss is the path and goal?!
How do i explain the power of deep trust?
How do i explain the loving compassion of existence bestowed upon?
How do i explain that he is God himself?
How do i explain about this never-ending list?

9: Your landing here...

Unconscious my be our landing
Reasons pondered over; in vain
Assumed a form, clueless why!

Serious gets our life
Pulls and pushes of life taken hard
with every little endeavor draining
Forgetting to catch the thread,
To celebrate life have we landed

Eyes have we, only but to see the Ultimate
Ears have we, only but to hear Her call
Tongue have we, only but to utter Her praises
Hands have we, to work for Her
Entire body down we brought
Only for experiencing the Ultimat

8: The Eyes of my Intimate

Waves of darkness spilt all over
At once assumed a form, human's..!?
Leading my way; She opened my eyes
Only to look into Her eyes

She held my hand, i held Hers
Shows me all around, far and near
Experssing Her grandeur every moment
To immerse me inspired with awe

Eyes of my Intimate
Eyes of the Existence
Eye-to-eye watching Her,
stuns me more as never imagined

She flies as a fly, blooms like a lily
Twittering as a sun-bird
Journeys me in and out,
of a weaver bird's castle

Endless getting this endeavor
Tirelessly opening up vividly
In the micro world and in the macro space

Stay open, for the intimate awaits on;
To widen one's frame of sight
Only to discover the freshness, the novelty
Of my intimate one, the Existence

7: Do u know something?

Power to see, love and laugh
All a result of us being ALIVE
Taking it for granted
Tiring all our senses, maximum

Birthright, a thing frequently claimed,
with fervor and arrogance…
Our very birth itself not being our right
Where’z the question of birthright?

Life’s a lottery
A pure grace from the Ultimate
Let’s accept with humility
What’s being showered continuously.

Our wants know no end
Never do we stop by and think;
‘I’m contented, I’m so grateful…’
Our minds trained to think thus;
‘Let me gather more, My friend has more…’

Time has come to rewire our thoughts
Software of our minds needing updation
Journeying to our inner depths in Silence, patiently
Is the one and only key, friend…

6: The Call of the White kingdoms

At a slight tilt of head, in skies open
None can afford to miss
The cottony castles;
with Water & Air crowned as King & Queen

Free to form their own form
With boundaries undefined wildly
On an errand to convey
Something, but nothing!

Gently smiling their way
With silver strings binding them
Mere dialogue of the 2
Brings down rain-pour
Ah! perceive their harmony

Having entered their kingdom, by sight mere
Leaves one in awe forever

5: by Chance or by Choice..

A tender breeze of love sweeping through
not knowing who's on its way

Some souls choose to bump in
Some others bump in by chance

Either way, both are touched
by its tenderness and power

By choice or by chance
both are soaked by the waves of Love...

Now, its purely one's choice
To stay on or step out...
