random poetic thoughts

the grace that flows across to me
now, then and forever
in my waking dreams
in my reality

they merge into one
when i seem to realize
that reality is a dream
and dreams are but a reflection of reality

a hidden reality
that flow on and
on seamlessly, efforlessly
life is efforless

if you realize that it is a dream
but a dream where there s a choice
to wake up
to the curious sensation

of time slipping away
like sand through your fingers
let go...
let go and live

through the sunshine
through the rainbow
through the cold biting wind
and through the downpour

surrendering to that which birthed you
with a smile like the
freshly bloomed lily
in its innocence and beauty

in that purity
and that dewy freshness

and then you connect....

another poem :)

will or wont, do or dont
the power still lies within me
dawn or night, ascending and alight
life still goes on without me

wandering around the nothingness
not knowing what lies ahead in the path
even as the clouds
do the eternal sunshine, swathe

eternity after eternity,
i am told that i live on forever
as i move on from oblivion to oblivion
finding ways to sever

the walls cast around my mind
so that it may find itself
and maybe the ways of the world are such
that in others, i realize that i find myself

wiping their tears
as the world deludes them of sorrow
that veiled melancholic thunderstorm
we only have to be aware of to pass through

the hearts of men are alike
they beat in unison, as they are
but one and the same
golden boughs of the ageless tree

the roots of which are hidden
though ever in sight for the seeing eyes..
of those who see beyond the veil
only through love and faith and trust

will you be able to persevere to that eternal paradise...

Recently, I was at a satsang where one of the senior advanced course teachers answered our questions and she pretty much added a sense of direction to my life...My question was that we face so many situations and we keep listening to, reading and receiving 'knowledge' from the path that we are on...But how do we actually implement it ? And she answered it...and this answered pretty much every question of mine...until new questions come along. She said..whatever you feel be it thoughts, feelings, craving or attachement..greed, jealousy, anger, boredom, anything at all, just sense it, feel it, get inside yourself and find out where it is coming from...and just sense its presence, acknowledge it and it will vanish..and then, you become conscious..the base of the path...once you are conscious, you will be able to give your fullest wherever you are and play that role to the fullest...once you are conscious, a whole new world unveils itself...the dawn of what i have heard so many times 'Wake up and see, there is no misery in the world'..happens..bit-by-bit..


one other equally significant thing she said was....when you say you love someone, it s because you feel nice being with them, therefore, that love is centered around you..that is the base of every relatoinship...it s a give and take of feeling nice...But the difference is, when you love someone, rather everyone as much as you love yourself....and take care of them, as you would yourself....that s something that got me thinking...

She also said this...If you want something, go ahead and ask of it from the universe, the cosmos, god or whoever represents the divine from the bottom of your heart...and it shall be granted if in the long run, it s good for you..(my note: for the universe knows what s good for you, considering you are a part of it and life is the journey in realizing that you are a part of it...)

and this certainly makes life easier...
