another poem

And then there were none
those masterly figures
with their timeless faces,one
with the ageless as life lingers

Thunder and lightning
nature's fury unleashed
men in strife fighting
in ignorance their bows creased

Lost in the worlds
as the masterly men breathe
their divinity unfolds
revealed in its glory unsheathed

The creator claims them all
to himself the source
the plaything the earth, the illusion-filled ball
as it runs its course

Towards the eternity-flowing
only,one ambivalent multifold
the farmer musingly does his ploughing
the dice case by fate and free-will rolled

on towards the gods of holy mirth
reveling in their creation
the royal pawns miscalculate their worth
the masterly ones-equanimity in their elation

What More can I Say

We don't know where we're going
We don't know where we ve been
We can't feel the wind that's blowing
but only feel the unseen


Deep inside the channels of our
heart, they say the divine dwells
forever since the divine hour
even before, and even after the death knells

for they say life journeys on forever
into the eternity-shifting
through the veil beyond time,like the river
ever the same, yet, tranforming, ever drifting

on towards the mighty ocean and the deep sea
I wonder how it came to be
Who am i? To thee?
Oh! I am you, you are me,

ageless boughs of the holy tree

Iwish I could see...

The simplest thing is often the best...

Sometimes it s just hard...But it s like this...and all this knowledge just makes me know more and more that this is how it is, it is hard....and i know i can get out of it if i know it....so it s discomfort and later pleasure this way.

It s either short time pain, long term pleasure

or short time pleasure and long term gain

The smart thing to do is to pick the first option

But the smartest thing to do is to go along, both ways, equally calmly and take it as it comes. Equanimously, like Krishna says in the Gita....

The present moment is inevitable and opposite values are complimentary...In fact all the sutras apply here....

AHH it s often the obivous that goes missed..

And I m sure the answer to everythng is so obivous that we miss it, unless we re that highly aware...which can come only through meditation...
