Even on an insignificant straw,

 Even on an insignificant straw,

seer sees many layers of truth,


and gives his expression to it in many ways
each seeing has its own validity at that level.

one sees its green
other its sheen

other sees its length, thickness, width
yet others uniquely see various aspects

like, its construction, design, growth, its material,
its chemical , physical properties,

its molecular weight,
its atomic number,

its nuclear structure and
its empty spaces within

its life, its growth, decay
its utility, its price, its shelf life

its nutritional value
its nuisance value

where what how much
what purpose why when

of its existence, its pain, its pleasure
its talk, its movement

yes ,
it has infinite aspects
every aspect is significant
though straw itself is insignificant

flying plane.....yes plane is flying


drinking water... water is drinking?

sinking ship...yes, ship is sinking.......

swimming pool...pool is swimming?

updating is ok...but is there downdating?

Belief is no relief

 

Belief is no relief

truth is the real help

search for truth

no blind grope

assumptions, presumptions

surmises are compromises

belief binds, blinds, misleads,

truth frees, lights, leads"

Keyboard

 

Keyboard

 

key board, a rosary with new beads?

it’s by man and machine, a hybrid

with technology nourishing ,surely a high-bread
in the spiritual world a helpful new breed

computers , our new gods?
internet , a new guru, answering our needs?

budha sat under a tree peepal
now seated are ,before the desktop, all people

a green tree, , giving cool shade, with leaves infinite
saadhaks assembling for sathsang and respite

taking us all back home, in the search of original roots, 
despite humanity in the pursuit of wrong routes 

the internet, with powerful engines, growing to an all knowing
ubiquitous, all pervading, influencing lifes , all powerful

its ways are godly, ---unmanifest, software unseen
a dakshina moorthi ,--silent yet conversing, 

charming, playful, doing leela of shree krishn
devotees, the users, doing its gungaan

let us say jay computer ,its our new utterance
and hope it will take us to a new level of deliverance

Soul is the word of god, it's the pure food

 


Soul is the word of god, it's the pure food
soul is the sole food,
for life nutritious,
for taste delicious
it is for religious, spiritual,
material, matrimonial, ceremonial
it is one for all ,
it is all purpose,
for hungry, for angry
for thirsty, for hasty,
for tired, for weared, for vexed
for frustrated, for worried, for taxed
it is the multi-cuisine
most healthy, most rich
it is the amrith ,
it;'s the ganga jal
it is the divine elixir,
it is the soma
take it , taste it ,
drink it, gulp it,
become strongest, wisest,
easiest, fastest, latest, best
..................................................................
simplest truth told...... inebriated in own exuberant verbosity
...words dancing, ..at the sight of silence......
divinity can be intoxicating beyond a degree
, ...making one totally free and nonchalant..words trying to compete with truth
....and eventually trying to rule the world
........trying to occupy the chair of silence.
..........the wise will not get deceived by this mischief of words.
.........silence is laughing at the words.
.....watching silently
, .....yet so many words flowing from ancient to modern times,
from different luminaries,
......yet unable to defeat silence
....yet not willing to stop their mischief

World is getting better or is it getting worse?

 World is getting better

or is it getting worse?
yes and no,
it's better to know
it's to know better,
just to nod is no better
it's a flow, a fall, a flood, a stillness,
an overflow, a splash,
a spill, a sea , an ocean ,it's a seepage,
a sink, a sump, a stink, a drainage,
a surf ,a wave, it's an undercurrent,
a moisture, a vapor, a rise, a collection ,
a cloud, a random run,
a tandem rain,
a torrent, a drizzle, a shower,
a drop, an ice, a himalay,
a mist , a fog, a snow
it is shiv ling, it's h2o,
it's molecule , atoms, electrons, nucleus,
the designer of it all a genius
be serious, yet do not be furious
it is curious, hilarious, marvelous
creating a Marcus Aurelius
a kali das,
a scientist, an artist,
a saint a cheat
a farmer a metal former
an informer, a transformer
it's a mix, it's adulteration,
it's separation it's purification
see it, but see it all
its up down, top bottom in out in all
then conclude yes or no
conclude yes but no, or, no but yes ,
neither no nor yes
or either or both,
to me all your answers -- all yes
i am nonplussed , for me no fuss

Vivekananda Jan12 birth day Silently i pray

 Vivekananda Jan12 birth day

Silently i pray
he reached me when,
he preached me what ,
how, where, and why
I do not know,
but
unasked like rain from sky ,
unanticipated like a thunder from cloud
the tiny book, in my pocket
‘’thus spake vivekananda’’, who ,in my heart
a lion, brave in ochre robes
a saint , with a stick that does not hit
with closed eyes, seeing the universe
with words , swaying the worlds
here is a man living short,
staying for ever
his words are live,
he stays in words

freedom it is the field of infinite options

 freedom

it is the field of infinite options
infinite potentialities
infinite possibilities
not needing to do a thing but having choice and possibility,
ability and knowledge to do any thing
it is a field of no compulsion no obligation
no force no need
it is the field every one wants to possess, experience and enjoy
it is a field of pure play, leela,
jay guru deva!
you are revealing at this moment the glory of god as ---leela,
bhagavath leela
this it self is your leela oh guru deva, oh bhagavan!
you have just now revealed thy presence, thy leela
you are creative,
you used this opportunity to play,
to perform leela.
all your names are so significant, not for nothing
being such,
let me invoke your help ,
your specific to the point help,
you only can help since you only possess the field,
the field of infinite creativity

Come back to lost track

 Come back to lost track

our original bharathiya tradition rooted in athma gyan
our ancients always were wary of arishadvarga
kam krodh lobh moh mada mathsarya
which corrupt our values ,corrupt our personality
corrupt our natural right to anand
no other way
any other will not solve
subdue the 6 enemies with intense tapasya,
transform the basic nature
spiritual systems traditions
available aplenty.
move forward from book reading ,
ways commercialism ,
take help from great.
enough guidance exists
a little practice is missing
take things to heart
pray god meditate
surely chastity, honesty will dawn
starting with yourself ,
spreads like sun rising morn
do not mourn
it's no doom
hope for a better tomorrow
and work for it today now
time for start of fresh day fresh life

Shiva, tell me are you 1 or 2’’…I asked

 Shiva, tell me are you 1 or 2’’…I asked

Shiva tells me
‘’ i have on my head, ganga , chandra
in my hand damaru ,thrishoola
with me are danda ,kamandala
i wear naga .japamala
on me one bhasma , three lines vibhoothi
i am pathi of ganga, parvathi
see me in smashana ,kailasa
i stroll with charmambara, bhiksha pathra
i am one digambara
tho i have three nethra
take me as you wish
as one, two, three or countless’’

All my answers are straight lines,

 All my answers are

All my answers are straight lines,
straight to the point,
never a curve,
nor going in circles,
some times in spiral
but upward in reaching vertex
of the cone
from my angle,
to mind like a meal square
here and there a hyperbolic
not at all asymptotic
sprouting from my origin,
moving in directions x y z
exceeding the tallest pyramid,
but god is the light at the center
we are all the rays like radius
going beyond, in infinite length

seer sleeps deep, sees dreams, day dreams

 seer sleeps deep,

sees dreams, day dreams
sees every thing,
every think , talk, walk
yet seer is awake aware day and night
he may close eyes
his awareness never winks
never never blinks
he is animesha,
a deva, the non blinking awareness
his sleep is coy , he is vigilant boy
in nonstop joy

miracles, or oracles

 miracles, or oracles

truth of science unshackles
do not buckle
nor heckle
in nature’s law
no flaw
ridhi , sidhi
not a creation of budhi
as purity grows
prosperity flows
life tunes with law nature’s
as sincere sadhana matures
They are not road blocks,
they are traffic signals
more serve as mile stones,
indicate the distance covered in the journey
of course one should not stay stuck

quo vadis what is happening to democracy

 quo vadis

what is happening to democracy
by , of, for the people
is it democracy, or demo-crazy
or a demo by ,of , for the crazy
craze for money, power, popularity,
image, idolatry
why cannot prior debate discussion consensus----happen
why this wastage of poor man's tax money
what is really happening
nation, quo vadis

kisme hogee eisee lagan

 kisme hogee eisee lagan

jo hastha, gaatha hojaatha magan
kartha har parishaan ko sahan
my tho hun banke ak insan
darad ke maare haar jaatha hun ,
dar ke maare bhaag jaatha hun
phirbhi kahtha hun badi baathe aasaan
kshama maangtha hun hey bhagavan
my nahun banke ek mahaan
kiya karthaa hun din raath theri gun gaan

apna mann ek mareez hai,

 apna mann ek mareez hai,

bechain se rahthaa hai
allah ek hakeem hai,
uski dua ek dava hai
karlo dua se iskee ilaaz,
hatao mann ke hairaaniya
apnee aap nikal jaayege,
tann ke saare pareshaaniya

Authentic experience of divinity

 


Authentic experience of divinity

makes one to flow and flow 


his alphabets glow.
trumpets blow


intellect shines
love rains


friendliness flourishes
his talk nourishes

 
never he in abuse
always words in good use

In contrast ,

Without experience of divinity. 

vessels empty

 

deliver quantity

not quality

 
not music

it is noise hectic


meanness,

meaningless
