Immovable Light




Found You
Found You
O Immovable Light


Found You
Found You
in bright green eyes


Found You
Found You
in the fearless Knight


Followed You
Around You
in the guiding Light


Found You
Found You
in the purple night
when the dawn is
just around the bend
O Immovable Light




Sightless - priest




Standing before
a stone God
your stone heart
in priest’s garb
unseeing eyes
unspeaking lips
unmindful mind
of the God within..


Hurling sandal paste
in unholy haste
and the offering of flowers
like holy waste
into open earnest palms
O pompous one
you are unchaste
when you draw lines between
women and men
deciding which is which
when your GOD is both and ONE


Keep your mind alert
your eyes open
not charting more rules
for your temple
chanting more prayers
when a simple
earnest smile would have done


Keep your mind alert
your eyes open
for the God within
may knock any moment


Mind alert
Eyes open
if you really hope
for salvation




Weightless - Freedom

There is
a freedom
that comes
from loneliness


There is
a freedom
that comes
when you are
a face in a crowd


that comes when
no one cares
and knows
you are around
the freedom of a stranger
who belongs
nowhere


There is
a freedom
that manifests
in acceptance

the freedom
that manifests
when you are
a part of the multitude
and
apart from the multitude

that manifests when
your presence
makes a difference
to them
their presence
makes a difference
to you

the freedom
that manifests when
everyone cares
and everyone
is alone
not lonely
when everyone accepts
each other
with no condition
for no reason

the freedom
that belongs to you
like a gift
..a grace

not imposed on you
like a burden
to be carried

Meaningless n Undefined



To attempt to define something
is to
destroy the beauty of discovery

To do something for a reason
is to
destroy the beauty of spontaneity

To do constant policing
is to
destroy the beauty of surrender

To probe for something
is to
destroy the beauty of surprise

To want to be something
is to
destroy the beauty of happening

To wish for something
is to
destroy the beauty of a gift

To want to live a different life
is to
destroy the beauty of existence





Motionless - Moment

A Moment
in Time
Still
Deathless
with a void before it
and
a void after
the moment stretching on n on
nothing changing while it lasts
concentrated
saturated
with meaning
letting all previous moments
collapse into it
and share its meaning
letting Time stand still
with
One meaning

Playless - Play



even Your play

is serious play
Mother

You let the mind
out of its cage
and let it speak

You let it say
These all-powerful beings..
what if
they’re upto no good..
making you a pawn
in their divine play?

and i speak
not as a representative of You
but as myself

i have a debt
towards these beings
which will not be gone
until i’m a leaf in their wind
the dust on their feet
for which i have
to surrender
to the divine will

what is the debt
that will not go otherwise?
You let the mind ask

i respond
the debt
the seed has to the soil
the child has to the womb
the creation has to the Maker
the debt of Love
that cannot be paid back in words
only in kind
the endless debt
only the Maker
can remove




Powerless- poetry

With Love to Ma


You make me think
i’m writing..
but
it’s You holding the pen

i’m such a fool
to think
i do
when all the time
it’s You

i love You Ma
but pray tell me
when will
i happen?

my MOTHER n i




WE
peacefully
co-exist
my MOTHER n i


WE
lovingly
co-exist
my MOTHER n i


SHE
is my whole world….
n
i am HERS
my MOTHER n i


SHE
takes care of mine
i take care
of HERS
SHE
is mine
i
am HERS




THE Search


through me
You still search
for HIM
Ma


through me
You still wait
for my Father
Ma


through me
You worship HIM
through me
You feed HIM food


i have a question
don’t You both meet some place
or what?

Answer-less - question



how do i tell them
How do I tell them
in words they will understand?


Why do they ask
why I go to You
it causes
pain
beyond any description


Your creation
is You
You are
Your creation
where can I go
that’s not You


You are all
I have
You are All
I have

OM Namah


I have nothing
to say to You
that is within
the realm of speech

I have nothing
to say about You
that will be within
the mind’s power
of understanding

it may look like
I have nothing
to say to You
which may be true

it may look like
I have nothing
to say about You
which may be true

it may look like
I am nothing
beside You
which may be true


HE



HE
Who is dark
due to
excess of Light

HE
Who is firm
due to
excess of Love

HE
Who is Alone
due to
excess of affection

HE
Who is Innocence
due to
lack of intention

HE
Who is Still
so
I can move

HE
Who is Shadow
so
I can be Light

HE
Who is the Excuse
so
I can be the reason

HE
Who dances with Death
so
Life can Live


Supreme Love
I
Salute
You

ODE to HIM



O Great ONE

Master of All Creation

Whiz of All Divine Arts

and Meditation itself

Is that

what I bow before?


O Dear ONE

Whose response

can be seen

in the swiftness

that is ready

for a child

that can’t speak

can’t comprehend

what it needs

but knows

when it gets

what it needed

O Ocean of Love

that is what I bow before

for no reason

because that’s when

I bow before

Unconditional Love

HE - MOTHER



have no mother
no father
none
but You
O blue bodied One





i know
it is You
that turns food
into precious offering
to feed me





i know
You understand
when i am yet to realize
what it is
that I need





they worship You
Kindest One
and ask You
for favours




won’t they look
won’t they see
what you give them
without their asking




can’t they recall
the venom
coursing through Your veins
the stuff You took in
to save them all




they worship You
they call You God
O Life itself..
it’s hard
hard to understand
or comprehend
how and why
they call You for a reason
when You are
Unconditional Love itself
