WHO ARE WE?

Some doubts appearing in my mind that often force me to think hard and introspect my inner being. As I think harder analyzing….
Who we are? ….
Well, we are the creation of supreme creator. We are one of his best conceptions. May be He was mesmerized and lost after creating and viewing us, so elated He was to see the best species shaped by him to such perfection. We have been assigned duties to perform immaculately as intendd by Him. Though, we cannot move without His will, yet we have been empowered to think and act on our own. But Can we? Do we need to? Although we always act as we are asigned to by Him, yet the finer tuning of our deeds has to be performed by us. Applying only our wisdom, actually we are going through these finer tuning acts only. Even then we squander always, the precious time. We forget Him (the Supreme) shamelessly in our exuberance to perceive our efforts with his desired will. The task He assigned us to perform is negated in our effort to seek superiority and triumph. We forget always that He has created many like us who are performing yet better.
Another aspect of We, is, we have been given conscious to think, that makes we human best species among all, different from others.. But do we think actually? Or we get drowned in the elation and spirited verve of self-attainment. Restricting us to think only within a narrow spectrumof thoughts, though having this world, wide open before us. But we are arguing and fighting for pettiest possible assignments self arrived at.
While creating us, the human beings, did He ever thought to keep us within shackles? Ever conceived about our limitations? Limitation of country, races, religions. In fact he created us even thinking us as next powerfull to Him. Even He expected us to explore about Him as well. But what are we doing? Lost Him somewhere in the middle, never ever remembering the factual causes he created us for. Even if we remember Him, it is for our greed only. Construe His being to our accordance to our need. Design and desires. Using Him as a tool to negate His existence too. We forgot our basic task assigned to explore spiritually, in our arrogance of never attainable desires, boundless greed and malice. Instead of bringing harmony and love we are spreading discord and hatred contrary to his desires. This all has resulted in forgetting our primary job, which was assigned to us,

What was that primary job? Lets question …
He created all things and after all His creations He created us to take charge of what has been created by Him. We were supposing to act on his behalf always been benevolent, benign, caring and skillful. He left many things for us to create and explore in this world. May be busy in creation at other planets. Things in our pattern .We took charge and acted in accordance to this primarily, creating many basic things like fire, clothes, food many things, but then gone astray. Loosing our path attracted and allured by physical attractions and charm. We forgot spiritualism, our basic task. Confining us within the limit. All sorts of limit…of boundaries, countries, religions, cast, fortunes many petty things. Only thing, which was shackled, was humanity, hard to be found, a rare commodity.

Yet the question remains what is spiritualism?
Well it’s not easy to define but still in my opinion… its to raise the spirit or your inner being to feel the feelings of others, or in a way the inner enlightened desires to share the others feelings can be roughly termed as spiritualism. The spirit is raised so much so that the feelings of others seems to be sensed on the spirited soul it self. As if some thing happening to him. A soul comes nearer to the other even amalgamate some times. It’s not something, which are not worldly feelings, out of the world or elevated, but it’s the verve to share others feelings. Only when these feelings die, dies the spirit. Remains only physical psyche, which we term as sense. But spiritualism is quite different from physical sense. It’s the inner enlightenment of soul to be more precise.
So was our primary task, to come nearer to each other, to come nearer to the almighty. Not to get carried away by what we have achieved may be spiritually or physically. This can be attained through thinking, and that’s why we are different from the other species He created.

Then how do we practice spiritualism?
In my opinion to practice spiritualism is not to do away from worldly things or beings in a manner we generally perceive. Rather to adopt this practice by remaining with this world doing all our other basic obligations we can practice spiritualism as well. It demands only to have basic human values within our self.
And that is Humanity. It’s as simple as that.
If a persons inner being is so elevated that he can look Him inside oneself and can find Him as well in others too, he need not fall astray. The spirit gets to reach the almighty. Sooner his ability to explore surmounts the desires. He need not be a Sanyasi or Sufee or a deserter from the world. Automatically the other aspects will seem very petty to him. He will be out of any shackles, boundaries and limitations He can prove to have a model role in this world. Without being preaching any thing, he will a mass followers of his path. He will be as mortal as any body as worldly as any human being still with elevated spirit he will be as prominent as Almighty.
We have been preached lot about relegion, Karmas, and spiritualism by many eminent personalities devising their own methods of getting to the Almighty. Almost all have bonded us in some sort of limitations, prohibitions shackling our self-beings within ourselves. None have left us free to explore what we spiritually aspire to achieve? The peace, satisfaction,
Names like Gautam Buddha.Mahaveera, The Shankaracharya, many Islamic Preachers, they all preached to sacrifice some thing or the other. But ofcourse they first practiced themselves. Shackling us some how they kept us within limitations. But why they preached? Do we need preaching? They had followers also but in today’s fast paced world all are fading. Why? Because they were demanding. Not leaving us free to explore. And that’s why they seem outdated. Devoid of followings.

In today’s world the man is not going to conceive unless he practices. And to make him practice the ethos should be simple, the task easy to follow. Not demanding like the preaching of yester years. He should conceive easily what he is made to understand. Although the task is arduous yet less demanding. One simply has to see Him in others as well as within oneself. Has to do away with nothing. But simply postulate HUMANITY.

lost in love






song

Shuddering Insight


Wired character but true to the values inculcated
Though unexplainable still simple focused desires
Barely can summaries to any, my realization for acuity
Yet authentically I lug on tugging my feelings with me
Unaware of the surroundings which looked on me
My feelings hard to explicate my desires simple to attain
But all my simplicity and piousness went in vain
Unmatched the character and flavor of apathetic world
I have my self to explain now what I desire to attain
Undesirable to the lot, I considered my own.
The language of insight is hard to elucidate
Still aware fully what my soul drives me for
The task is difficult yet the spirit is resolute to resolve
Been wiery to whom I ever considered to be mine
The coherent behaviour matches the brim of appathy
Yet the desposition remains much to be desired...


Vish

Tryst with destiny


Life is not forgetting things as we proceed.
There are some impressions, deeply embedded on our soul.
We cannot afford to just scratch them off to eradicate.
It hurts and gives us enormous amount of pain.
As an option it’s easier to superimpose
The previous impressions with a new name
Without letting the feeling die down.
Destiny ….yes, believe in destiny
But the same provides us with other alternatives again
To heal our wounds which we usually…
In our moment of obstinacy forget to notice.
It depends on the person if they want,
To just brood on what they lost, yearning to regain the same

or to explore the new saga of life open before them.
The opinions differ, but what I perceive is …
Never to loose what the destiny has bestowed again.
Just let the providence do the rest and let you drift
The way it takes you to as you proceed possibly
To rekindle small embers of little fire to re- ignite.
The same will provide coolness to your soul
And drive away the loneliness and despair…
Completely from rest of your life.

Imortal Faces of Love

It’s Wonderful! Enchanting, Exhilarating…
Let me say about love.
Its Enduring feelings of sublime desire
Translucent, enigmatic but transpiring
The silent language of feelings
Conveyed to reach the desired being only
Transmitted as soon as is transpired
The soul rules the mind instantaneously
Deposing the wisdom through feelings
It comes to capitulates the pliable senses
Illogical, but overtures off sentiments and…
For its own summative reasons
The prudence is negated to its appearance
Arrogance portrays the character
Its gained to loose, but gives more than it gains
Soliciting only to be considered forever.

It is as delicate as snowflakes
So soft, as a gentle breeze brushes the leaves
But distinct profound and persuasive enough to feel
It’s alight like a fire blazing with a might
Yet provides coolness to the desire with a sight
Evokes restlessness to the turbulent emotions
Yet provides serenity to the soul where it dwells
Tender like soap lather scared to be touched
But firm like a rock not to disintegrate
Its tranquil restrained, composed and poised
Yet distance matters little, so paced it is
Even the speed of light is annulled by its rapidity
It craves for unison but enjoys the severance affably
Bounces back with added verve, and a touch of reverence
It has many facets, divergent and strange
It’s profound, divine and eternal.
Incomparable, unique, supreme
Immortal saga of emotions

Yes that’s LOVE

Flight of thoughts

Ascending the flights of thoughts I reach the crest
Recollecting those moment, which were the best.
The days of merriment and tryst with passion
Overwhelm my reminiscences with obsession
How days have gone in a dash, I still wonder
Whatever left … is only the memories to ponder?
But still I implore the company of my beloved
Always in my heart her presence so absorbing

Lost I am as I tread on further, visualizing the current
The motive to endure perched now
My love vanquished me of the cherished desires
Perhaps my incompetence coordinated with innocence
Transparency in behavior spoiled the disposition
In the world full of analyzers, mocker, ridiculers
Could not prolong with my fervent desires
Had to withdraw on behest of my sweetheart
I feel the shifting stance showing chilliness…
Could recuperate again to survive and endure
Now I gaze from the crest, things look so trivial,
Overshadowing the passion and obsession
Now the soul ruling my psyche in echelon
Looking back I feel time slipping like sand from the fist
Like the day slips out unknowingly dusk settles
The behest of the growing apathy I concede now

ECHOES OF THE HEART

Sometimes we close our eyes
And just listen to the silent echoes of our hearts…
When we fall in love and there are times…
When we are lost completely in love
More often than not, we wonder why
There is love that grows, and then grows cold
We question ourselves. Where love has gone wrong?
But in the end we find ourselves where we stood,
For we cannot question the love
It has its merits and own reasons
Love will always be as it has always been…
Silent, mysterious and intensely profound.

We believe that love is forever,
That love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end
When we find ourselves with empty hands and our hearts longing
Mistakenly, we have looked at love as a need, a desire to be fulfilled.
But it’s only an ephemeral gift to us; we should not try to grasp
For we may never find the will to send it off, neither the strength to clasp
When it finally settles on to depart
So we should only cuddle its warmth and radiance while it last
And then open our arms freely when its time to send it off
But when we fall in love, we wish that feeling never ended
For it is everything we have, all that we were yearning for
We pray that love will stay on and grow in our hearts…
But if it doesn’t, we should never let our lives sink,
For life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we have to move on
When we have to bid farewell to the feelings we wanted to stay on
Let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart…
For love will set its wings free and settle at the place finally it belongs
That we may have lost but then again,
When we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts,
We will hear that feeling resounding silently forever within.
Then we perceive that it has never left us, its eternal
Because of love we always stay on…
It will always be within us echoing and reminding
That we should be gratified and contented,
That, even for once in our lives that feeling embarked in our hearts
And made us happy blissfully.

Vish
