Quest

I've searched the depths of this heart
Empty every word ever said
Where in does this quest end
For answers to questions unsaid

I walk and run and crawl
To find works that answer my thoughts
Do I stop and wait for clues
That fetch the bliss of Truth

These tiny thoughts and words fall short
To seek the eternal tunes of Gods
Do I stop for answers or works
That quench my quest for thoughts

Lie after lie written and told
Upon the memory of man long gone
Holding thought to those dead words
We fight and kill to hoard

Death may answer questions untold
To the ones Death decides to hold
I wait not for Death to roll
Into my path that unfolds

Death shall come and pass
Heavens and hell may last
The length of a mad mans thoughts
For every prayer of the past

Death, mans excuse for a God
In laziness religions last
Knowledge the key to Bliss
Mans eternal quest at last

I stop here to reflect
Words and deeds of man
In Truth I see the essence
The Bliss of eternal exitence

I am..
Sat Chit Ananda

I shall write..

Do I write to enlarge my ego
Or do I write for the Truth
Is this consciousness pondering its origins
Or is this a quest for Truth

What is this around me
Blood, Hate and Money
Man is a threat to man
To achieve his own self found glory

Do I write for appreciation
or is it to impress myself
Is this the way to arouse
A sense of duty in me

Where from these religions and race
Where from these philosophies of hate
Who is that God who demands
The fall of man to his wrath

Do I write to satisfy
This insatiable urge of greed
The greed to see man and man
live to realize peace

Throw away this social hate
Throw away these rituals of chains
Throw away your books and gain
The knowledge that life is pain

Realize that man is minute
Infinistesimal in this black hole
Where light is a fabric of nature
To hold the mind as a slave

We are but lost in hate
While this world burns with time
Lost we are in our desire
To own a dying mass of grime

God is but a notion of man
To love and heal in time
While we live to earn a heaven
Which shall die with the death of man

I shall write until man is clear
That life is an illusion of light
Light, a projection in time
Time, a constraint in existence

I remain as that light
I am..
Sat Chit Ananda

Silence

Lose not the silence inside
For this world is filled with music
Lose not this Divine insight
For You shall roam clueless again

I am ..
Sat Chit Ananda

Snow...

I cannot capture this sight
In limited words or thought
I am but a particle
In this expanse of beauty

White, this sky and air and earth
Glowing mild and deep
To my eyes, I try to search for
The remaining sanity in my mind

An envelope of mere snow
Can create such a show
What more can she do
To a man unawares of true natural beauty

My mind is lost in sight
As I helplessly stand
Gazing and wondering
At this blanket of white

From horizon to horizon she swells
Covering the earth and sky
My thoughts are captivated
By this beauty dressed in white

I stretch my arms to the sky
wondering if I would melt away
and join this whiteness
and become beautiful, oh white sky

A trick this is
of light and impure senses
A flash of nervous impulse
This emotional intercourse with nature

This whiteness,
It questions my sanity..
I fall silent to the songs
of this visual white poetry

What more do you have in store
Oh eternal beauty
My Mother, My creator
Oh Lord of Unfathomable Beauty

I hold not any songs for you
I am dumb to speak your praise
I hope I can realize someday
I am but an infintesimal part of you

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *


Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before


My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars


D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land


And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars


"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer" **


I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war


I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Oneness

Whatever be the times
Of joy for all of the land
Man is at his best
To recogonize every man as a man

Every culture in every land
For the harvest or for rains
Bring together the spirit
Of Love for all within eyes reach

Diwali, Eid or Christmas,
Each every cultures best
To see through the veils of emotions
And hold ones neighbour as their own

Touch your heart and feel
What holds ones thoughts to believe
That the spirit of these days
Are for the very days

Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi

This earth, my Mother
My creator, My All
She asks for nothing
She waits for no one

Rolling and swirling
In this dance of life
She protects me
From the emptiness that envelops her kind

I breathe in and see
I am not away from her
But in her womb still
Enjoying her warmth of love

But around me I see
Religion and Politics
Hate and Anger
Pride and greed, thats so unlike her

And her children(?)
Have they not learnt nothing
Blaming each other as nations
As religions, as aliens

Fear and loneliness
Responsibility and Control
Popes and Prophets
Profit from this chaos

When will men be brothers
For the sake of existence
Rather than fight for lust
In the name of religion

I am not the first to ask
Nor am I the last
I wonder today whether I will live
To see her children last..

Die, we shall all
One life we all remember
Why not live in peace
And accept the other

I say no prayer
Because which God you ask
I pray to mankind
To realize life as life

Colours there are so many
Trees there are so many
Animals there are so many
Cannot thought be so too?

Why hurt to accept your thought
Why kill to see thought disappear
Why wait for a heaven post mortem
When we can build heaven on Earth

OM Shanthi Shanthi Shanthihi

Oh Almighty! May everybody be happy!
May all be free from ailments!
May we see what is auspicious!
May no one be subject to miseries!
Oh Almighty! May there be a Peace! Peace! Peace! Everywhere.

Exactly what I was thinking today morning

http://indiatemple.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_indiatemple_archive.html

Thoughts..

Is God true? Why ask..
Is this world true?
Should I find out

Many thoughts and many wars
Have since been fought
Over why I dont agree
To your thought and God

I ask this world
Wide and Empty
do you really care.. or
Do you just spin around

Round and Round
in the dark
You and I spin
I Just want to stop

So many philosophies
So many thoughts
So little time in this life
So much to find out

What is the truth then?
Who says the truth
Whoever wants to be true
Would kill to make his the truth

What religion, what God?
What for these thoughts?
I am.. this I know
I need a support .. to go on

I need a thought
To stop my thought
I fix it on one thought
And that is my God

I am..
Sat Chit Ananda

Moksha

Grha..(Home, My Body speaks)

Darkness .. a condition?
Or is it a state of mind
Is it an absence of light?
Or is it the nature of Bliss

What is this thought
What words are these
Where did they come from
I struggle to see

Let me go back
To the womb of my thoughts
Where it is still dark
to sleep in my true nature

No thoughts, no words
No light, no love
Is this true?
Is there such a state?

Is this death?
Is this the goal?
Is this the false heaven
We all crave to go?

Darkness.. so sweet
It holds a melody
That melts my soul
I remain, Dark...

Sat Chit Ananda

Kaama (My Desire Speaks)
... Darkness?

I know not why I write this
I know this isnt true
I know this does not explain life
Where did love disappear?

I know there have been moments of joy
the moments of sadness in my life
The moments of despair
The gushing streams of excitement

The gladness in achievement
The bliss of knowledge
The smiles of the beloved
And the tears from a child

Can Darkness reveal these?
Is Darkness greater than
The momentary passing scenes
Would you not want these?

The senses crave
The taste lingers
Your heart beats
And you feel the warmth

What more can you ask for?
And there it is for you
This world provides you
This world feeds your flames

Burn mind! Burn
Light is an illusion
Tempt your self
Spoil your self

Stand up you lazy soul
Is this the goal in meditation?
Is this what you pray for?
Where to, you go in vain

Come, take my hand
I shall provide you
I shall embrace you
Come join my fold

Jnana (Knowledge)
Fools!

Walk this trodden path
Until you see the Truth
There is no Light
There is no Darkness

There is no God
Realize this Truth
There is just One Truth
The Truth that you are alive

This moment though fleeting
So colourful or dull
It is this moment that decides
Which path you are to take

Choose wisely now
For you are to fall hard
Who knows what the heavens hold
Every pure soul that lived

I would not go there to see
Every soul that existed on this earth
For eternity and more
Leave aside these dreams

Choose now foolish mind
Live this moment well
Stop this useless thought
Stand up now and choose

Every goal is a dream
And every dream is untrue
There exists not a dream
That remains the way it is dreamt

Dream on; but know that it is a lie
If there were a God; I am HE
I am He; I care not for the heavens
Because I live for the here and now

I know not what comes tomorrow
I cannot change the past
I have my problems today
I wish to have them solved

I remain...

Moi .. (Me)

Shanti!! Shanti!! Shanti!!

Yada Yada Hi Darmasya

(Peace!! Peace!! Peace!!

Whenever there is a decay of righteousness, O Bharatha
and a rise of unrighteousness, then I manifest Myself)

I AM MANIFEST
I dont know for what
I know not for whom
I see unrighteousness
I see the said decline
I am AWARE
I am here
I see...
I know not where I came from
I know not where I go
I know that I exist
and I have a sense of righteousness
Am I to fight?
Am I to kill?
Am I to love?
or Am I to earn?

I have many questions
I have no answers
I shall live, for sure
as long as this being breathes

I know I am not the being
as I have existed without
I shall exist more
As I am existence

But now I shall act
The part I have been given
I dont write its script
I dont choose my role

I act.
I am ... Sat Chit Ananda
