It's a lot of noise Sometimes the noise forms words Rarely they make a sentence Once in a blue moon they make sense And then they flow But it's still noise Enmanas

Animals fight to defend their bodies Humans curse to defend their imagination of themselves This imagined notion of who we are And how others are supposed to see us Is called aham Aham constantly seeks validation from the external world. When that is not forthcoming it becomes insecure Aham makes humans accumulate things Through things we hope people will look upon us As we imagine ourselves That is why ,Janaka , People display their wealth And their knowledge And their power Aham yearns to be seen Ashtavakra to Janaka Sita - Devdutt Pattanaik

How long do I search for Him Using the mirror in my mind How long in shapes and forms He seems to be of many race and colours He even seems to know many tongues Hey You with a beard or without one I speak now to You like many before me And many more to come I suddenly felt lost when I thought You didn't exist A thought so song that life felt meaningless without You in form Hence I ask You now how much longer do I seek You Using this mirror in my mind For all I see are various forms Some say there is a place beyond Some a life better in Thy presence But I can't accept any unless You show me here Now a life of meaning I believe I know Thy scent Thy form shape and colour now I am aware of Thy presence Yet I cannot but sell You Through the mirror in my mind How much longer this hide and seek How much longer do I hold For I have shattered this mirror in the hope That i take it that You are me alone Here and now I am. ...

Do we try to check with our views. Do we feel the necessity to have others cross verify or views. .. Let me clarify, do I require someone to look at my thoughts or actions or words and tell me.. alright. .. is that process of validation required. Is that what I seek. ..or is it a necessity in society Let me rephrase. ... is it necessary to seek help. Society and civilisation as we know it was not built by one man or one generation but by several. Did they need validation. ... Do we make ourself smaller by seeking ideas. Do we make ourselves weaker by asking what we need. .. do we put itself at a disadvantage setting ourself exposed in seeing help or ideas. .... Let me rephrase. .. do I see myself put at difficulty in seeking help or ideas. .... On the contrary. ..I believe my strength is in saying what I need to say and asking what I feel like asking. I may have hurt several in this process... some I regret.... most I don't. .... for I spoke the Truth and that which I felt nec...

I feel I am losing my God I feel my world is breaking apart I feel I am losing the plot The Old anger is surfacing The new confUsions seem to continue where from they come where have they been? Noise screaming inside my head Silence has disappead in this moment I see....

Oh Lakshmana, look at these; these belong to Sita. My heart is broken. I cant stand this separation. Tell me Lakshmana ..are these Sita's? I know only one among these Oh Lord, those anklets Divine for they were on Her feet. They shine for when I fall at Her feet they appear as I rise. I have not seen Her but for Her Divine presence with You.These jewels I know not But to answer your question, the anklet belongs to my Divine Mother Your wife Sita, Oh Rama --------------------------------------------------------------- Have you seen these? she asks with a smile on her face Shaking her head and letting them shake on her ears Bright and beautiful They add to the beauty of her smile Have you seen these? .. she asks again I am lost for I have not seen them She says guess where it could have been Knowing I dont follow womens faces beyond the eyes.. She says it was where you go every day. I still am puzzled .. for I do not know. She says these were on Lord Guruvayoo...

"Crawling In The Dark" I will dedicate And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth Of how my story's ending And I wish I could know if the directions that I take And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Help me carry on Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes To navigate the darkness Will the ending be ever coming suddenly? Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer So when and how will I know? How much further do I have to go? How much longer until I final...

http://www.studio3india.com/CMS/UserImages/Picture_2632_zoom.jpg My search for You Started as a doubt Questioning You and creation And where I belonged Learning and Yearning for Truth I was misled by my wrong thinking To hold the body as a curse And myself as a Sinner Now You walk with me And speak inside my mind whispering the Truth Like a lover would to His beloved I've searched for Thee in places sacred I've sought Thee in work And Love While You were ever present in what I call me Like a fool I've listened to lies Now I try to listen hard To your voice in my head Trying to differentiate between My noise and your voice Like a lover now I wait for Thee Your name etched to my thoughts Your love mixed with every thought I am yours in body and You in mind I am....

Where do experiences go Where do those moments go Where love joy and other thoughts Take birth in the mind Where does pain go Moments of loss Moments where nothing else Would satisfy but the object of loss Where does such strong emotions go Of hate .... people places things Born in my mind do they live Do they linger on... Do these represent the life I live Memories, or reality in some parallel world Carry on I will after this Knowing that these make me who I am But who am I really? No book will satisfy this thirst No adventure would put to rest this quest I wont stop until I know... Who I am .. I.am.

As I try again to do plough through the Gita I stall and stumble... this is not the first time. There have been years in between verses where I could not make progress. Each time it was different...it was more difficult.. but never was it so dead of spirituality... no classes ...hardly any new book... very little satsang. My car rides to the factory are also silent ones...rarely an FM song on the radio A new challenge ...a new situation... the challenge seems to be one that I have ignored for long... Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam Dhyanam ....Dhyanam... Dhyanam Stilling the mind and letting it be clear of thoughts and instilling in it a sense of Truth... and then the minds whips a scenario and runs loose... wild and uncouth! Imagining situations that never were...never will be...making them realities and giving them logic... raising strong emotions and raising the ego....SNAP!!!! The onset of the preoccupation has been steady and seems to threaten the most basic of conversations....

While I heap layer over layer of flowers Chanting sacred hymns in the Lords name I am aware of the thoughts that freely run Over-lapping the meaningful devotion outwardly exhibited With every flower that I wish to adorn His feet I also humbly submit my thoughts unto Him Knowing fully well that not all are but free of sin! Thoughts are but a continuum of the minds rant A habit of continuous ill use Greed and lust take charge when logic stops And unto fear i submit my will Walking away from God until its prayer time.. Laced with these thoughts I watch My children as they assist me in prayer Innocent and clear in conscience they do Mimicking my every action in mirth Thoughts am sure are simple Doing the task for tasks sake Enjoying every bit of action done Devoted only to fun they do, What I try time and again and fail I seek Thee Dear Lord For I know my thoughts that flow I seek Thy hands to work within My mind that has ceased to play Show me the joy in work ...
