Exiguity of man

The high peaks
With tall teaks,
Look down upon man
As he them seeks.

The steep dales'
Lush green vales,
Sneer at man
As he them scales.

The deep seas
Waves never cease,
They deride man
As he them sees.

Nature is mighty
With all its bounty,
Man is miniscule;
A small entity.

Incline towards God

From Sun emanates heat
which is very hot.

From God emanates love
which is very cool.

Incline towards God
and you'll be cool
filled with
pure, immaculate love,
and delectation.

If you stay away from Him
you'll be hot
filled with
misery and baneful woe,
with dejection.

Laughter

Life is a dull story told by an idiot

Who is the idiot? Macbeth? Shakespeare?

Or the reader himself?

Because where is the text?

Does the reader half create it and

half perceive?

But suppose life were a story

told by an intellectual

Would it make any difference?

Give Peace

Each person in this world
Has special qualities of gold.

Real concern for all is the need
Let us try to emulate and them heed.

May all haunting troubles come to a halt
May all bickering and disputes from us part.

We shall do our best and together live
And shall peace to all persons give.

Thirst for God

When in penury
Man hunts for wealth.

He is then ever in thirst
And in quenching it he gets crazy.

In the process of amassing wealth
He loses his health.

And to his spiritual psyche
There strikes an injury.

If his thirst is channelized towards God
He comes under the umbra of His Mercy.

Wisdom

Inside a room of darkness
enters a vile robber.

Inside a room of brightness
he doesn't penetrate.

In your mind have discernment
and hold the light of sagacity.

You'll then be in enlightenment
and with Goddess Athena.

Evil thoughts therein will ne'er exist
In luminosity wisdom in you will persist.

A Journey

I didnot board on a train

I didnot go by bus

I heard from the lips of a crane

That a transport is available

Inside the cave ofa tree

No sooner than I entered the cave

There was a cavity that gobbled me up

And now I am here among you

Longing for this mans scope

And that mans talent

Fire and Gold

Fire is gold aflame

Gold is fire solidified

Fire and gold gold and fire

Bring about the sunset of the Indian summer

I presume it caught the eyes of the blind bard

Who created his Helen from its effulgence

No wonder Euripedes hid her in fire

Because privacy of glorious light was her

In quest of gold

She was fast asleep on a bed of downs

and saw her own mind lying on the thorns of anguish

The moonlight of technology

only exposed her lack of skill and education

Her hue is golden

She woke up and plunged in worship of technology

got admitted into a computer training institute

in quest of gold

Loud

Loud songs
loud colours
loud gossip
loud drummers
loud fragrance
loud worship
loud laughters
loud roar
loud snore
loud thunders
sink into the waters of silence
Silence is louder than loudness
Silence is the sister of death
Have you heard the breath of silence
Have you heard the noise of death
