Rainbow of my Dreams October 5, 2006

I see a rainbow in the sky,

the rainbow of all those dreams;

All the dreams which I had seen,

and those wchich everyone see.

I look at the nimbus cleared sky,

which just showered the virgin rain;

The rain which sowed the seeds of life,

In the womb of barren earth’s terrain.

The miracle of life, has manifested now,

Alas! but my eyes can’t behold;

For this beauty I feel, is far beyond,

the springs of blessed mortal joy.

A fool indeed I ought to be,

who desires none but life itself;

A fool indeed I ought to be,

who fears none but fear itself.

Haunt me O wisdom! I stand before thee,

I turn the wheels of life, with my every wink;

Else I wish to drown and die,

in the deluge of my destiny.

I know for what I cometh here,

thy pranks shalt not work on me;

I hold the key to thy future, O wisdom!

only if thy wisheth to see.

Now I fly with lovley birds in sky,

up above the rainbow I see;

Together we span the oceans wide,

which start as a little stream.

Inexorable I know, my fate is indeed,

for I follow the path of my heart;

The heart which bore all those dreams,

the dreams of living again as a seed.

Rainbow, no more I wish to see,

for I see beyond its mien;

I bathe in the spring of first sulphur,

Which dissolves myself in thee.

Who Am I? September 16, 2006

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Am I the mortal bond of men,

or am I a the freedom of birds?

Am I the path of lonely hearts,

or am I the sound of worlds?

Am I the water of gushing streams,

or am I the melody of reeds?

Am I the light of hopless darks,

or am I the begger on streets?

Am I the fragrance of daffodils,

or am I a pearl of dews?

Am I the smile of an innocent child,

or am I the truth all knew?

Am I the edge of the sword of truth,

or am I the valour of knights?

Am I the charm of the ‘maggi’ devine,

or am I the koans of ‘wu’?

Am I the suffering of ignorants,

or am I the wisdom of wise?

Am I the one who really exists,

or am I spirit of light?

Am I ‘duende’ of all that is,

or am I the shower of rain?

Am I the one to see the end,

or am I the one to be slain?

What am I and who am I,

I know none about…

But one thing that I know for sure,

is…I am a hermit, who sings his dirge!

…..wink, and everything is changed!!

Revelations September 16, 2006

“People say nothing changes overnight, but I don’t agree. Even a moment enough to change your life; and you don’t even need any big thing to bring about this change. Anything works…a lightning, a thunderstorm, breeze kissing your face on a sunny day even; a drop of rain, or a smile of an innocent soul even; melodies of birds or tunes of the angels’ harps even. Changes occur every moment, we just don’t understand them. Everything you do, everything you think, everything you plan changes the world. Each of these things have their own importance, their own place in the hierarchy of existence! But imagine thinking about this without language. Can you think without language? There would have been no reality without language, but isn’t it also true that there would have been no language without reality? But what comes first? Time it seems to stretch for eternity and all these things occur in it. What exactly is eternity? Can we really see it in a grain of sand, as Blake thought? What is time? Does time run faster than thoughts or do the thoughts determine its passage? What if a hundred years are to be contained in a minute, and a hundred such minutes in a second; a hundred such seconds again in a momeny and this single moment lasts only so long as it takes for you to wink your eyes?! All your lives and all your deaths, all your acts and all your deeds come and go in this one moment but it lasts for an eternity!
You live for this one moment, yet we say there is no such moment to live in; and when it comes to an end, you realise that it were your deeds which determined the length of this moment. Some make it last for a second, others stretch it for an eternity; while the others live as if they would never die, and then die as if they never lived!! As it comes to an end, you start realiseing the truths. Some awake at the right time, while others never drop their slumber. Whatever they do, one thing is for sure, the truth starts unfolding only when your time comes, not a moment before. You understand that you tried to run with time, but when reality was that there was no time to run with! You live as a slave of your ego, bragging about your achievements, showing off your deeds and acts, but when the truth was that there was nothing to be achieved and no you to achieve anything. We exist as a thought, and yet there is no mind to think us; we are bound by its imagination, but we are itself the one who imagines and the one who is bound in illusion…it’s too absurd to be real, but at the same time it is too complex to be real.
You never lived your life, you start realising…all you did was living with it!! You unleashed your vengeance on your enemies, but did you ever realise that you yourself are your friend and you yourself are your foe?! Hot or cold, water never changes, all that changes is the way your hand feels it, you start realising. You imposed senseless restrictions on yourself for no reaons, but you were never bound by anything; freedom was always yours, you simply failed to recognise it! You never realised the one ultimate truth…that there is nothing without you, and you are nothing without anything else! All you ever sought was always within you, you just had to search it!
Everyone’s turn comes when your destiny reaps, soul’s dreams start manifesting and your heart shows you the way. All you are supposed to do is to follow it!!!”

I can never forget these words of “WU”! Revelations at its best. Why then, I don’t understand, do they discriminate and boast about trivial things? Well, that’s why I believe they call it a game of chance, not everyone’s chance come at the same time! I thought I should share them with all of you.
