A Prayer

the earth the skies and the beyond in short the world
the unconscious and th preconscious and the conscious and the beyond
they baffle our imagination and hence they do not exist
but in language
And language creates things that are impossible to comprehend
They are all nothing
n othing is our mother
there is a nothing inthe womb of nothing
wherefrom the functional world of touch and tongue sprang
I pray to that nothing in whose neighbourhood
all our crudities vanish-call it death?
Ipray to that nothing
May it enrich our wits
Have you never reached the end of your wit? I DO NOT PRAY FOR YOU THEN

Prisoner

Everyone, everyone of us

is a prisoner of knowledge

We are confined in the first floor

of a building

the walls of which are made of our knowledge

The walls are as impregnable

as those of a dungeon

We take the dungeon as an ideal place

We move about here as if we are free animals

But those who look upon us

Casually I Raise My Head Into The Skies

casually i raise my head to the skies

&

casually i raise my head to the skies
bereft of thoughts in gloom-
yes, i get my enlightenment
and my disease is dispelled-
there above amidst the white clouds
the orphaned moon flake sobs in sorrow-
a few days ago it was the queen of the night
with silver-plated smile priding amidst the stars-
life is never ever smooth and song-full;
one day beautiful and brilliant and brimming with thoughts
the next day drier more than a desert fuming emptiness-
yes, i am reminded of 'shakespeare's lines
'books in brooks and sermons in stones'!

If Alone Memories Are Erasable !

IF ALONE MEMORIES ARE ERASABLE!

&

IS TOTAL ERASURE POSSIBLE?

WHEN THE BODY IS INCINERATED

THE ASH REMAINS-

HOW THEN TO ERADICATE THE ASH?

Cleanliness and Happiness

Cleanliness! Cleanliness! Cleanliness!
Cleanliness ever gives you happiness! happiness! happiness!
For cleanliness is next to Godliness! Godliness! Godliness!

Keep your surroundings very clean,
Dust and tidy, wash and preen,
Spic and span-it must seem,
In an environment that does gleam.

Physical cleanliness is a must,
Brush your teeth and attend to bathing;
Clean your hair and wear clothes clean;
Be fresh and to be clean, be keen.

Flush all evil thoughts from your mind
And gush it with love and ever be kind;
Honesty and sincerity; goodness and cheerfulness
Implanted, will make one bounce with happiness.

Good Conduct

In this world's find
Conduct of people
Is high or low
In accordance with one's mind.

In case you hold
Your fingers to fire
You can behold
Getting it scathed in the pyre
Even if you are unespied
And in a secret place abide.

When you are in fancy
Even though in privacy
When your conduct is blotched
Your soul gets scorched.

As inside a deep forest
The exquisite flower spills elegance
Though it is bereft

Significance of One to Ten

O-ne is the great Almighty,
T-wo denotes the Man and Woman;
T-hree is for the Triad Trimurti, -
Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva,
The Gods for the three actions—
Creation, Maintenance, and Dissolution;
F=our indicates the directions—
East, West, North, and South;
F-ive are Life's elements,
Earth, Water, Ether, Air, and Fire;
S-ix is Half a Dozen, the insects' legs;
S-even symbolizes the Days of a Week;
E-ight represents the Deity Durga's Hands;
N-ine connotes the Navagrahas in Hindu religion;
T-en signalizes the Dasavatharam in Hindu philosophy—
The ten manifestations of Lord Vishnu!
Z-ero typifies just Nothing!

Money

Money and its child Market
are Tungay the one legged Tatar and his son
They ravage the world- they banished the Sun
In the encircling gloom they ravished human heart
They have destroyed the tender values
and their fountainhead=Nature
Instead of the food
They stuff our body mind and soul
with dead leaves from economics
political science philosophy and science
and all that money could manufacture
In a dukedom ruled by the courtiers
Of Greed the world suffers from asphyxia
Co2 has made the blue deep murky
There will be no one to cry from the skies-
Hold!
And scientists have killed Peace and Sleep
They will sleep no more

Lament of a Wash-basin

LAMENT OF A WASH-BASIN

Very sorry my friends,
If by my lament,
Your tender hearts, I hurt,
When thus out I blurt.

But no other way have I,
To gain your sympathy o'er my cry,
Than in black and white to mention
And draw your kind attention.

All of you I beseech,
To yonder bin to reach
And, my dears-there to empty
Your tiffin-boxes, of left-overs sundry.

Of my gurgling throat, I'm sure,
It'll no more be wrote to cure,
For, I hope, you'll ne'er again so choke

Pranams to Guruji

PRANAMS TO GURUJI

Aptly named AOL by His Holiness Sri Sri RAVISHANKERJI
Rightly introduced by respected Guruji Sri Krishnanji
Transformed and harvested us to the zenith of ecstacy!

Oh! The joyous ride on hitherto unknown roads,
Fabulous journey—indescribable and beyond words!

Love over-flowed from the inner precincts of the frame,
Infusing harmony and great joy in the course of the game.
Vainglorious mind purged of ego and toxins, was elevated,
Instilling cosmic energy, benignity and euphoria instead.
New-fangled being was focused to drink deep, life's nectar,
God! My Lord! I thank thee for the benevolence bestowed this far.
