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 :)
