As long as duality remains
The idea of separation remains
Let remain individual
In service to Universal
That's śaṅkaradāsa-
In service to Auspiciousness
The Absolute non-dual Oneness
।। ॐ गौरी शङ्कराय नमः ।।
Obeisance to Energy-Consciousness.
All-pervading only principle here🙏
There wasn't a time
When we were not
Neither it will
When we won't be
For You remain in me
In each uttered word
In each taken breath
In continuing life
In departing death

Parents who raised
Teachers who taught
Greats of the past
Lover poured heart
So many eyes
Keep faith in you
In all your actions
Keep this in view
Don't be ever ungrateful
For this wholesome debt
In silently bursting happiness
Just keep those eyes wet

When you finally take
Exit

of these theatrics
You will meet your escort
The death lord of ethics
Show Him all played roles
Met, unmet acting goals
No cheating, no deceiving
Look, dear Lord, Behold!
Emptied all pockets, but
The soul was never sold

Then we begin to realise
To not possessively hold
But to lovingly behold
Then cosmos and us
Become verily friends
This beginning of
Individuality into Universality

Keep that Knowing wise

A pointed finger
Between my brows —
To attain equipoise
In worldly noise
Way is to Renounce
Said Guru's voice
But i was weak

Desires do arise
But merely as comedy
The song of soul
Is unfading

A dream vivid woke me up
i was part of a hating club
Numb to realise that fate
Face familiar whom i hate!

Moving detached
In this bodily car
Seeking
Mystic lands afar
But a smile lingers
Rear memories
In my heart mirror
Inked closer

Bad lures you
Dressed up pleasant
and you choose it
Over right, over good
Its each call lands
Into denser woods
But when you realize
And you will
Trust that one inner ray
No matter how deep in
Out, there is always a way
ALWAYS.

Not being harsh
Just trying to be kind
Get Real, dear Seeker
Tricky is this mind

There isn't a why

A decorated lie
Pride, regrets, worries
All mind's scam

Pure magic. Indescribable Māyā.

Perfect harmony
A Seer would bet!
I am, but not there yet
Treading the gap
With Vedāntic map
Enduring triggers
Not turning bitter
Leaving them
As idle thoughts
Awareness away
They vanish in drought

Is God's Poetry
A perfect rhyme
That runs beyond space
That stills beyond time

Harmony if you get it
Cacophony if you don't

Not a gloomy situation at all

You learned this trick in childhood itself, remember?
When you are walking in the dark, you may feel someone is calling but you just keep walking and never look back.
So is with the past.

By which light do you see?
So stay alert with That
In world when you go

Ever shining in its bareness

Shunning responsibilities —
Living of attachments
Words of detachment

It feels convenient to appear renunciate while living a worldly life. This causes inaction of wise, and bad actions of unwise. Result: deteriorated society.
She has Her dignity, my friend. So, as long as you are residing with lust, greed and anger, Love is not moving in.
Remember, with Her comes all the prosperity and Knowledge.
Choice, as always, is yours.
And, at times, world's form
May appear, a heavy storm
Shut all doors then
In, out, all ten
Let mind fan keep humming
Be! in that integrating rest
Rise, when you become You
Shine through all worldly tests

Has it ever happened to you, that you read something, got triggered, re-read and then realized, oh! it was misread?
Exactly, happens with reading of this world. Repeatedly. Just the last realization is yet to come.
in my flesh
in my bones
to me myself
mostly unknown
such i am
limitedly framed
but in my intentions
in my emotions
in my expressions
in my devotion
i resolve
to make You
#proud
and not ashamed
~ One's promise should be for parents, teachers, God and Self 🌻

Then i would term
Conscious breathing
As Love
Same for you and me
Same for all beings
In that Oneness
We all win
In that fire of Knowledge
Lies atonement
For all our sins

And I must act
Crawling out of
My leisure stay
from Truth and Goodness
Pray! to not go stray
To this limiting ego
Shall not be my ties
In Rise of Knowledge*
My liberation lies

Knowledge that there is just 🔆neness; no separation.

Not to hurt others is not so difficult as not to be hurt by others. You will have to become mindless. You will have to kill your egoism in toto. You will have to develop patience to a maximum degree if you wish not to be hurt by others.

In all beings happen
A constant remembrance
The breath whispering
Going out - 'hum'
Coming in - 'so'

According to quantum theory, even if we do not talk, even if we do not look at each other, you affect me, and I affect you [...] In denying objectivity, quantum mechanics denies absolute status to your individuality. The only INDIVIDUAL is the entire universe.

Be not ashamed, my brothers,
to stand before the proud and the powerful
With your white robe of simpleness.
Let your crown be of humility,
your freedom the freedom of the soul.
Build God's throne daily
upon the ample bareness of your poverty
~Tagore to India, 20th c. end remarks
All things by immortal power,
Near or far,
Hiddenly
To each other linked are,
That thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star

A sincere knock within

How can you do physics and poetry at the same time. The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simpler way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way. The two are incompatible.

The joy of
Finite objects, finite senses
Erodes quickly as time lapses
Satisfaction of senses then
Lies in bliss of Infinite Self
Restraining deluded flow

The nature of the mind is such that it becomes that which it thinks upon intensely. Thus if you think of the vices and defects of other man, your mind will be charged with those defects and vices at least for the time being.
Develop the good-finding nature.
Svāmī Śivānanda
Essentially man is not a slave either of himself or of the world; but he is a lover. His freedom and fulfilment is in love, which is another name for perfect comprehension.

Good read 🌻🙏
1) One step in the right direction eventually leads to a good place. Or, in other words, one good thing leads to another.
2) The words of wise souls have hidden transformative power.
3) Truth is a great force and eventually yields positive results.

To call That nothing
But this Existence
Is verily Conscious
Aware of Everything

Lost peace of path
Everytime to judge

Driven out of nature
All evil, all goodness

Love is the natural language of soul, only when mind is shrouded by delusion, men turn against each other.
Take this pledge: No alcohol/drugs and make sure none in your circle does it. Boycott all such places.
This will bring many reforms that you wish to see. 🙏

This Existence is so big that it can host, and hosts, all kinds of thoughts, and still a lot empty.
To feel associated with any passing thought, including what we call ours, is an error we should fix.
What is a bad thought? That deviates you from your duty, your journey.
Afflicted by conflicts
Heavenly and earthly
My restful expression
Is in our communion
Who I am, how I am
Both get sublimated
Breaths turn incense
In harmonious union

Doesn't matter how eloquently I describe a mango, its taste, beauty of its environment, its experience would remain isolated to you unless you taste it. Likewise, whether Vedanta or physics, attempts to describe way of existence, it is of no real value unless we realise it.
To let go of reason
Is a self treason
For that discriminates
Real from unreal
In deep contemplations
On its own it fades
When being in Self
Blissfully meditates

Carved in stone
It is a book
That you can't read
By a mere look
Its words are whispers
That you must sit quiet
So that heart may recite
That mystic song
Of Truth and Oneness —
An agitated mind's respite
Oṃ Śaṅkarāya Namaḥ 🙏
How a feminine loves
Devotes herself, cares
Be it nature, river
Mother or lover
Verily, purity of Love
Beyond all measures
and, that's the way
In relation to Self
For mind, to BE
For you, and for me

Please understand this carefully. Don't ignore as you can help.
Existence is ONE - holistic and connected. So, with increasing chaos in world, your acts of Compassion, Sharing and Self-Control are of great help. A being who prays and is tranquil helps the whole universe alike.
The
#quintessence
of all acts performed
of all worships offered
of all words spoken
Is to be woken
To own divine Self
This is —
Rendering to world
The highest Love
The highest help
