সংশয় যদি আসে  কভু 

 চুড় করে দিও ভ্রান্তি যত 

মায়াময়ী জগতের চর্চা গত

সহিবো  না দূরত্ব এতই  আহত 

তোমার চরণে  রাখিও

অন্তরঙ্গে তুমি পারশমণির মতন 

আবির্ভূত হও রক্ষা কবচ সম  

জনম মরণের এ খেলার ছলে

সকল দোষ পাপ কর্মকান্ড কৃত 

ক্লান্ত শরীর, মন বিষন্ন  

তুমি কর্তা আমি সেবক

তোমার করুণা  অপরম্পার

 পূর্ণ সমর্পন ভাব নিয়ে

কেবল তোমায় ধরে রেখেছি 

 আমার  অগাধ বিশ্বাস 

তুমি সর্বদা  আমার মঙ্গল করছ 

এই দিব্য দৃষ্টি তোমার ই  দেওয়া

 আমার শুধু  ভক্তি ও শ্রদ্ধা 

আমায় পরম পূর্ণতার পথে নিয়ে যাচ্ছ !

 

 

 

 

 

Churning of Milk to Butter for better

 Why churning is placed so much importance in our spiritual lessons.

Definitely churning is related to purification through life battles and struggles which is stepping stone for spiritual growth.

The more one goes through challenging/ difficult situations, the more it is known that a window is opening up for proving one's virtues right and capabilities to the optimum level. Instead most of the lesser awakened souls fails the testing time and fall back upon vices and wrong deeds and earn bad Karma to incur. 

Let us take the analogy of milk and butter.

We all know how easy is to manipulate the purity of milk by adding water as the dilution of milk is not visible by naked eyes. But on the contrary, if it is duly checked then the mischief can be caught.

 However in most cases our simplicity is threatened without prior notice, and we are taken aback by the sudden attack on our integrity or purity. What i mean to say is that if one does not work on being upright, there will be innumerable instances of loosing our character under the pressure of fraudulent attempts by outside factors or sometimes our own inner weak moments can instigate if left unguarded without knowledge and awareness. 

On the other hand, butter is extracted from milk in such a Churning process with lots of patience and time that the result is worth it. This time milk is converted into butter and now if one adds water now, they can't cheat like before. The butter of its own properties becomes lighter and floats on the surface defying the fraud to happen. 

Similarly, when a person goes through all odds of life, still maintains his purity with steadfastness to life principles, then a spiritual transformation happens helping his soul to evolve and ultimately the person benefits in every way including his spiritual growth, forbearance power, compassion, truthfulness and so on .  He becomes lighter like a butter with no stress, anger or any deformities of thought process can bring him down to bottom rather he floats on the top with lightheartedness by nature. He gets rid of all vices he does not need through this churning  process and reduces the risk of contaminating his mind and soul.

Maya- the delusion

     Have you ever noticed how the flame of a lamp flickers sometimes, even though there is enough oil in the lamp and yet no wind is blowing.

 

    Question raised. What is it  disrupting the smooth flow &  glow of flame?

 

          If you look closely and investigate, I am sure you will get to know. Yes, its too much of oil in the wick or the wick is over soaked in oil that is disrupting the flame. 

        Way out is simple. Just squeeze out the excessive oil and let the wick burn with just a residual touch of oil and the flow of oil & glow of flame is smooth onward. 

        The above is just an apt example of how we function, Given all favorable situation and our efforts, still things don't work. The reason being excessive of what is required, the fuel. The fuel is our passion which drives us into action. The favorable situation are like wind factor or right amount of oil in the lamp .What is the disrupting factor here is excessive oil in the wick or having excessive passion brings high expectation, agitates the mind and attachment to result defeats the purpose of passion. Instead of work oriented action, we channel our energies in a disruptive way through the delusion of being in charge of everything by being over passionate about our result. Its not just efforts or congenial atmosphere to make things happen, but it is pertinent to reiterate that there is a higher force in action preceding your intention of action,

        The myth we tend to carry about doer ship needs to be addressed and dismissed. The biggest reason to label it as a myth that we are in charge of our efforts and we have the right to expect result we deserve is the very fact that there are so many factors working at different levels which is beyond our control. Unable to see this reality or universal truth is again due to Maya or delusion of being in charge. 

        Cut short to moral of the story is that if we can function simply with this awareness that we are just a part of the whole universe and our role is limited as compared to whole game plan of the Cosmos. Being able to embrace this is what can help us come out of this Maya or delusion is the mantra
.

 

Seeking Knowledge

When we receive knowledge

we transcend our limited concepts

transgressing from gross to subtler planes  

likewise our minds gets uplifted 

like a shining flame of light ever rising high 

We cross barriers of love, compassion

and blossom to an elated state

Love grows, expansion happens

WE become inclusive

We transform to givers from takers

We are truthful to our real nature

WE tune into universal flow of Oneness

 

Now to upgrade ourselves to be receptor of knowledge 

we need to bring in vital aspects of Learners

Be humble, unlearn what you have learnt so far

ready to fill in your pot by emptying it first

Be committed, dedicated with faith and gratitude

Respect and Humility are essential qualities for a student'

 Bringing in the aspect of service with reverence

being obedient, sincere, truthful, honest, dedicated 

can allow Knowledge to seep into you

One has to be totally surrendered in faith

Raising questions is the right way to learn 

and strengthen your basic foundation

provided one has full faith in the process of learning

One needs to give innumerable tests 

ever ready for practicals to happen

unquestionably to one's horror of testing tribulations

Hard work, perseverance, patience is what pays

Self restraint, self inquiry, reflection

Contemplation, introspection are some of the 

requirements to be complied.

Once you reach a stage of complete understanding

of real law of Nature, 

you are a winner already

Its a matter of execution only

So introduce quest in your journey to 

navigate in the right direction 

with geared up pace by Grace

 

Reframe your stories

 Re frame your stories

We are all author of our own stories

Have you ever observed how you narrate a particular incidence to a person and next time when we tell it to other one, our tone of narration changes ..... is not it? Have u noticed it? There is a slight difference in the story every time  we have new listener. Why have you ever pondered? 

Simply you sense the rapport you have with the listener and accordingly you tone your narration adjusts the way the other person can relate to it, But the story line is the same only the version changes.

Similarly you can be your best version. So far we were adjusting to build up a story of our lives the way the world considers it the best or pronounce it to be successful or ethical or decent or smart. The bottom line is we all want the best and beautiful life stories of our own. But in reality, something else is in store and all our dreams and expectations get jeopardized! It is totally normal. Not everything is within our reach yet we can still hope for the best.

Whatever happens, there is one thing for sure, that any given situation has something good in it, provided we have the right perspective to perceive it. Equipped with knowledge of wisdom, we get it. Then our story telling takes a new turn of adventure, charm, spectacular challenges and passion. All these flavors of life can be flipped and tossed to turn our platter interesting and awesome!

Marching forward

 Life is a journey where we gather only experiences

its us to decide whether we let which one  to enrich or diminish

I stumbled, I fumbled

battling storms of life

Aghast I lay beaten

at the merciless thrashes slayed

I learned to be brave

not to let ego enrage 

for every attention it clamored for

I pacified with embrace

 

I have always known deep inside

My Divine is always by my side

No matter I loose worldly games

My Master's trust is all I gain

 

I learn to be patient 

accepting what comes my way

I may have the choice

but at times I simply have to pay

with a price of sacrifice 

and a dash of  poise

no matter it may  jeopardize my plans

I surrender to a much  Higher plane 

Lamenting emotions often raise my fears

of loosing my ground of sanity

I brush aside the swollen tears  

and set a new twist to gear

all my energies marching forward

with full swing and cheer 

ushering new dreams to endeavor 

and mighty ambitions to bear!

 

 

 

 

Light Within

 Light within

                    Have you ever wondered how something within whimpers and calls for our attention. When you are feeling low without any apparebt reason. There is a possibility that the flame of  soulful light is running low  on its intensity and volume and waning down  . 

                    It happens so, mostly in case when something goes missing in our lives. Let me take the analogy of a burning lamp. The lamp can be lighted only when all ambience and materials needed is there to support the light to be ignited. The lamp needs to be filled with oil, there is enough oxygen in the area and the wick of the lamp is good enough to burn & hold the light. Given these pre set conditions,  the light is to be ignited with help of matchstick or from any burning flame. The light is glowing with full radiance as long as all the congenial atmosphere/requirement prevails. Sometimes it is hard to even light a lamp in case the wick is too much soaked in excess oil . Too much oil hampers the start of burning flame at the first instance. Once that is taken care of by wiping off the excess oil, we need to be protective of too much wind not to extinguish the flame. There is time limit to the life of wick. In case the lamp is left to light for a long period, then there will be time when the light gets extinguished with the burning of wick completely. 

                    Now coming to our conversation of "Light of Soul" it too has certain pre set conditions to follow for inner light to glow at its maximum intensity. The wick is the body here which is time barred and has a certain life period to last. While the body exists, it is best to let the light shine keeping distracting winds at bay with careful protective shield. Example closing the windows or gate where there are chances of too much wind to blow in. Anything that threatens the serenity and is draining your good energy is worth to be avoided or discarded. 

                     Like the oil of the lamp needs to be full, the soul needs to be feeded with soulful endeavours. Whatever helps the soul to experience fullness! It can be friendship, love, art, creativity, dance, writing, poetry, singing, travel, gardening, following any passion, and much more. 

                    When we talked about too much oil in the wick to hamper light to happen, it is regarding too much attachment or desires we crave for which comes in way for the inner light to shine. Once the excess is taken care of with wisdom, knowledge, practice of austerities, the light shines forth. In other words, worldly pleasure or Maya forms a sheath or covering on our soul so much that the inner light looks dim and we hardly get feeling of being alive without that Light of Life. With the sharp edge of knowledge it tears apart the sheath and the inner light shines bright.

Five Elements

 THE FIVE ELEMENTS

 Water

The basic property of water is that it is flowing, formless and colorless.  It can take any shape or form depending on the vessel holding it. It can assume any color from the surrounding which it reflects back. It gets lighter with rise in temperature like vaporizing on high heat. It solidifies with fall in temperature and capable of taking gross shape. It can create sound while flowing on rockbeds or in sea form its waves create loud rumbling sound.

So much to learn from Water element. If we can be as fluid as water with the formless attribute, adapting to any situation becomes natural. We no more get stuck in one image or impression which widens our ability to adjust and accommodate. Temperature is representative of pressure here. So with rise in challenging situations or working under pressure, water element teaches us to become lighter, allowing things to happen the way it goes, which is possible through letting go. Only becoming lighter we can rise. It means the more we allow our ego to evaporate with tough situations, we become invisible or nobody, the lighter we become with no title or tags and the higher we rise towards our goals. Similarly another property of water to solidify signifies here that we become gross with fall in temperature or challenges. In other way assuming a ice like form or  shape denotes our identity taking shape of bloated Ego that it becomes a weighty issue under comfortable situations or  in absence of challenges. Flow is the norm of being in motion or being in action. Water flows down always denoting able to bend as the situation comes and also ability to be humble and moving towards ground realities. Having no colour of its own, this quality of water assuming color of surrounding objects signifies our capability to reflect back the goodness we see around and making it worthwhile to display colorful traits in our personality. At the same time our individuality is above all these colours or personalities which can be changed or developed.  Water is symbol of purity  and simplicity. It is used in all kinds of worship. It washes us of all impurities, sins, double mindedness or any superficiality. Taking a bath in water can be so refreshing as drinking water quenching our thirst. Whether we follow the attributes of water or depend on water for our mere existence, it is fair enough to glorify water for its merit.

 

Fire

Fire element speaks of passion/ rage. Fire is essential as it provides heat and helps in transforming things through process of cooking or baking or melting raw iron or metal. The fire element in our stomach does the same transformation through digesting food we eat to produce energy. Fire exists in our gut to give us the gut feeling of setting into action or getting alarmed. Fire energy resides in us in the form of passion. The brighter the fire energy the stronger is the spark of passion! We need to keep the fire burning in us, or else if it is vanquished we will be good for nothing. No interest, no enthusiasm will be left to start any activity. Too much fire can be devastating also, so we need to be careful and watchful of the flare of fire within. The moment it gets out of control it is a signal of danger. Like a fire can finish a forest in no time, uncontrolled anger or rage can destroy a person. Fire always rises up. This quality signifies how fire element in us awakens us to rise. Passion keeps us alive. Fire is also considered auspicious for its purity. It removes negativity with its light and provides warmth of love and kindness. Going through tough situations are symbolic of burning experience with higher purpose of being transformed for upgraded quality. Fire burns down our weakness and purifies us getting rid of all negativeness. 

Earth

Earth element reminds us of being rooted. Our physical remains after death is going to be merged mostly with earth element in form of fossils or ashes. Earth is our mother planet providing for home along with all  essential things needed for our survival and prosperity. Earth teaches us to be patient, tolerant, compassionate, giving, forgiving and many more. Earth represents mother nature so it is beyond words to define motherhood what it means to us. All forgiving, unconditional love, care and nourishment and many more.....! If we can adopt any one quality of Mother earth, we can have larger than life personas like Legends. As humans we might have come to earth with many lifetimes. This is another characteristic of mother earth to be witnessing many civilizations. The history of earth dates back to eons of ages making us realize the ancient treasure we receive now in the form of mountains, minerals, rocks, rivers, forest is the result of so many metamorphic stages earth had gone through since its origin. Likewise, we need to remind us that all the treasures we are presently proud owner in our life is the result of various catastrophic / metamorphic stages we had gone through and hence the transformation.  

Space 

Can space be defined as nothingness, or is it something more? Space highlights the significance of hollow and empty. If we learn to be hollow and empty with meditation technique- letting go of what is not required and also emptying our mind with surrender, then it opens up avenues for newness, fresh ideas and energy. In a way it de clutters our clogged minds. A break in thought process is like fasting without words or thoughts. Just like fasting helps in detoxification of our entire body including digestive system. Likewise our mind rejuvenates after allowing space to happen removing all toxic thoughts in the process.  Allowing space to happen in our mind helps us discover another dimension of our existence. Hollow means nothing stays there. There is a constant flow of energy which is again a reminder of moving on, rather getting stuck or stuffed with concepts or dogmas. 

Wind

Wind is another important element to represent flow. It is never constant. It keeps moving and hence a great symbol of force in action. It carries life giving energy. It facilitates breathing providing oxygen/ carbon dioxide becoming one of the  primary source of life. Again Wind is formless, colorless, odorless. It assumes any form, color or odor as it comes in contact with other things. Like air can be filled in a balloon. Wind can be gentle as a breeze or harsh like a storm powerful enough to sink a ship. 

How do we relate to wind let us explore. The very first thing we connect to wind is its flowing property, it can never be constant at one place. So flow allows us to be smooth functioning, consistently moving ahead. Wind energy in us is enlivening. It refreshes our breath. Taking deep breath allows us to inhale positivity while releasing breath helps us to discard used breath. Breath can mean thoughts moving in and out.  New ideas are breathed in with every inhalation and toxic thoughts, stress are dispelled with every exhalation.

चेतना की लहर

चेतना की लहर 

    जीवन को गहराई से जीने के लिए मन में उत्साह होना अवश्यक हैं - उमंग आनंद ! और यह आनंद का आभास तब हो पता हैं जब हम शांतिप्रिय और सत्य को अपनाते हैं। किसी प्रकार की छल  या कपटता हमारे जीवन में प्रवेश नहीं कर पाती।... अगर हम सतर्क और जागरूक रहे। तन और मन से सदैव त्यैयार  रहे की हमे हर पल को उत्सव के तरह मानना है। हर क्षण कीमती हैं। तब हम हर व्यक्ति, हर स्थान, परिस्थिति का भी आदर करना सीख जाएंगे। 

    परिस्थिति की जब बात आती हैं तो ज्यादातर परिस्थितियां हमारे वश में नहीं होती और कई बार प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों का सामना करना पड़ता हैं। हमें  ऐसी परिस्थितियों से घबड़ाकर हिम्मत नहीं हारनी  चाहिए बल्कि बड़ी शिद्दत से ईश्वर को शुक्रिया करना चाहिए की उन्होंने हमे  इस काबिल बनाया की हम बड़ी बड़ी तूफानों  से टक्कड़ ले सके। यह तभी संभव है  जब हमारी आस्था अटल हो और हम धैर्य और सहनशीलता के असीम शक्तियों का प्रयोग कर सके। सबसे पहले समता बनायीं रखनी है, इस भाव से कोई पड़ेशानी हमेशा के लिए रहती नहीं, यह जैसे आई है वैसे इसे चले जाना है। हमारे भीतर के शक्तियों को अभिव्यक्त करने का समय आ गया है, यही  सोचके आगे बढ़ना है। 

    उसी तरह कोई व्यक्ति अगर हम्हारे स्वाभाव के प्रतिकूल हो , या जिनसे हमारे विचार नहीं मिलते, उनको हम्हें बड़े आदर से स्वीकार करना चाहिए की वह जैसे है वह स्वाभाविक हैं।  फिर उसपे गौड़ करना चाहिए की यदि कोई सुधार  की सम्भावना हैं तो जरूर उसपे अमल कीजिये अन्यथा हमे अपने जैसा होने का अपेक्षा नहीं रखनी चाहिए।  हाँ इतना ज़रूर कर सकते हैं की हम उनको नाप तोलके न टटोले , क्यूंकि अगला शक़्श भी यही सोच सकता हैं।  और अगर कही आपको परखा जा रहा हैं तो इसमें भी विचलित न होकर हमें  उसी सम भाव से साक्षी रूप, समर्पण भाव से अपने को कष्ट पहुँचने से बचा सकते है।  यह जान लीजिये, ऐसा करने से न केवल आप अपनी सहनशीलता का काबिलियत दर्शा रहे हैं अपितु बुद्धिमत्ता भी ।  यह तभी संभव है जब आप ज्ञान मार्ग में है और उससे बढ़कर उस ज्ञान को ले पाने की कृपा के पात्र है। हम्हें कृपा सिंधु वह सारी शक्तियाँ दे रखी हैं जो हमें  कोई भी मुश्किल वक़्त का सामना करने के लिए चाहिए।  अंतर सिर्फ इतना है की हम कितने जागरूक हैं इस बात की और हम्हारी काबिलियत का जड़ तो हम्हारी आत्मविश्वास से जुड़ी  हैं।  और इसका बल तो ईश्वर के शरणागति में है, ईश्वर के ऊपर अपार श्रद्धा और उनकी असीम करुणा सागर में पूर्ण रूप से विलीन हो जाने में हैं । 

    कहने का तात्पर्य यह की हम्हारी इच्छा, मनसा, भक्ति, श्रद्धा और समर्पण कितनी मात्रा में है यह तय करता है की हम्हारी जीवन यात्रा कैसी होगी।  कोई समुद्र के किनारे पे ही संतुष्ट है तो वह समुद्र तट का आनंद लेके जीवन बिता देगा।  कोई कोई थोड़ी और इच्छा रखते है तो आनंद के लेहरो में अठखेलियाँ लेके ही कृतार्थ होते है और जीवन संपूर्ण करते हैं।  और यह कारवां बढ़ती रहती है जिसकी जितनी जिज्ञासा हो, जितनी आदर्श हो , जितनी तृप्त न होने की प्यास हो, वह उतनी दूर जाने की परिकल्पना करते है और कुछ हद तक सफल भी होते है।  सबसे जांबाज़ जो होते  है वह सिर्फ ऊपरी विजय से संतुष्ट नहीं होते  बल्कि अपनी  जान की बाज़ी लगाने तक का जज़्बा रखते  है- उस गहरायी तक जाने के लिए।  सिर्फ इस तीव्र आकर्षण से की उन्हें ग्युहतम राज़ जानने की व्याकुलता हैं।  तो वह साधक सबसे ज्यादा, सबसे पूर्णता से जीवन  को जान पाता है।  उसे न समुद्र के लेहरो से संतोष है , न ही गहरायी से, उसे इस खोज की अंत तक जाना है की यह समुद्र अगर इतना विशाल, अनुपम है तो इसके सृष्टिकर्त्ता की महिमा कितनी अपरम्पार होगी ! 

    हम सभी में यह जीवन को जीने की कला छिपी है।  हमे वह तमाम साधन अपनाने चाहिए ताकि हम  उन सारी शक्तियों  द्वारा कुशलता के साथ अपनी शक्शियत को निखार सके।  तभी हम युगो तक इस लोक में अपनी अस्तित्व की छाप  छोड़ जायेंगे अगले कई पीडियों के लिए मिसाल बनकर।

शून्यता से परिपूर्णता

 शून्यता से परिपूर्णता 

 

इस जीवन के दौरान हम कितने ही ऐसे पल खो बैठते है 

जो हमें आनंद में रख सकती है।  

यह नादान मन ही तो हैं जो हमेशा विचलित रहता है 

कही टिकके रहता  नहीं 

एक इच्छा से दूसरी और फिर न जाने 

कितने ऐसे ख्वाईशों के पीछे हमे दौड़ाती है 

 

मन की सुने या बुद्धि  की ?

कभी ऐसी भी दुविधा में पड़ जाते हैं 

मति भ्रष्ट हो जाना को आम बात समझकर हम टाल देते है 

मगर ऐसा होता ही क्यों जब हम्हारी बुद्धि हमें सही राह दिखाती हैं 

इसका मतलब कभी किसी कारणवश

 हम जाने अंजाने  में गलत काम में उलझ जाते हैं 

जान बूझकर भी हमसे गलती होती है 

उस समय ये कहकर  टाल देते हैं कि 

मन वश में नहीं रहता। 

मन की सुनती तो अनर्थ होता और

न सुनती तो जीवन में मज़ा  नहीं रह जाता 

 

फिर द्वन्द! यह कैसी प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियां आ जाती हैं 

जो सही गलत को भी पहेली के जैसे पूंछती 

 

इतना तो तय हैं की हम्हें पूर्ण ज्ञान नहीं है 

सत्य की पहचान नहीं है 

तो हम इस विशाल ज्ञान सागर में डूबकी लगाते  है 

थोड़ा सा ज्ञान का झलक केवल मिलता 

तो और जानने की इच्छा से और गहरी छलांग लगाते है 

इसी तरह जो जहा संतुष्ट होता जाता है 

उसकी ज्ञान की सीमा बनती जाती है 

और जो सदैव आग्रह रखता है और जानने की

उसकी पहुँच उतनी गहरी होती जाती है 

यह आग्रह भी तभी आती है जब हम यह जानने लगते है 

कि इस अथा ज्ञान की महासागर में कोई अंत नहीं है 

अनंत हैं जिसकी हम कल्पना भी नहीं कर सकते 

तो ज्ञान में जितने हम मन को साँधते जाएंगे 

उतना ही यह जान पड़ेगा की हमें  सच में कुछ नहीं आता 

ज्ञान के विशालता के समक्ष !

तो बात आती है कौन ज्ञानी और कौन अज्ञानी 

दरअसल जिसकी जितनी बड़ी पात्रता 

उसकी उतनी बड़ी पात्र  इस ज्ञान को धारण करने के लिए

पात्रता से मतलब उसकी काबिलियत या उसकी क्षमता-

 ज्ञान को समझने के लिए 

बीना त्यारी के कुछ भी  प्राप्त नहीं हो सकता। 

और इस ज्ञान की वर्षा तभी हो पायेगी जब हम अपने अहम् को मिटा दे 

अहम इस बात का कि हमें कुछ भी आता नहीं  हैं 

जिस मुहूर्त हम ये मान ले की हम खुद्र, है इस ज्ञान के महासागर के सामने 

तो ही हम इस ज्ञान को और जान पाते हैं 

हम्हारी खोज जारी रहती हैं और हम कभी भी ज्ञान के मार्ग से नहीं भटकते 

हम्हारी यात्रा ज्ञान के मार्ग में शून्यता से शुरू होती है 

जब हम अज्ञात होते है और

यात्रा के दौरान जितनी सीख मिलती हैं हम और परिपूर्ण होते चले जाते है 

फिर पूर्णतः रूप से जब ये जान पड़ता है 

की इस सीख का कोई अंत नहीं तो हम स्वतः खाली हो जाते है और 

शुन्य की तरफ ही बढ़ते है कि अभी बहुत कुछ जानना बाकी है 

हम्हारी यात्रा पूरी तरह से तब पूरी होती है 

जब महाज्ञान मिलता है की 

शून्यता ही हम्हें पूर्णता की एहसास दिलाती हैं। 

बिलकुल उसी तरह जैसे हमने शुरू किया था अज्ञानता से-शुन्य से

परिपूर्ण होने के लिए, आखिर ये जान लेते है की 

अंतहीन या अनंत को खोजने के लिए ज्ञान से भी परे जाना है 

बिलकुल खाली हो जाना है, शुन्य में विलीन होना हैं 

शून्यता में ही आखिर परिपूर्णता हैं। 

 

 

 

 

 

 

अनंत की और

 अनंत की और 

 

 इस धरती पे जन्म लेते ही 

मनुष्य का जीवन प्रारम्भ होता है

और समय के साथ साथ जीवन सफर आगे बढ़ता है 

लेकिन हमारे जीवन समय व 

काल के चक्रव्यूह  में बंधता जाता हैं 

और अंत में एक ऐसा वक़्त आता है 

 जब मृत्यु के रूप में जीवन समाप्त हो जाता  हैं

तो काल का यह माया जाल 

हम्हें हमेशा सीमित होने का एहसास दिलाती हैं 

कि कभी न कभी हम नहीं रहेंगेमा 

हमारी अस्तित्व अस्थायी है, हम नश्वर है 

अंत की अनुभूति- मृत्यु भय के रूप में हमे सताने लगती है  

 फिर भी हम कही न कही यह जानते है 

की हम अंत से परे हैं, 

हमारे भीतर प्रकाश रुपी ज्ञान की अनुभूति 

हमे अनंत की आभास देता हैं 

और इसी अनंत की खोज में हम निकल पड़ते हैं 

आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान साधना और तपस के मार्ग में 

हम कार्यरत होते हैं 

हमारी सारी  शक्तियाँ,  कर्म,

 हम  इस अनंत रूपी ज्ञान को केंद्रित करके आगे बढ़ते हैं 

 

लेकिन इस बार हमे मृत्यु की भय नहीं होती 

क्योकिं सत्य के मार्ग पे चलते हम सत्य को पहचान पाते हैं 

अपने जीवन काल में इतना जान लेना ही किसी क़यामत से कम नहीं 

हमारी असली अस्तित्व यह शरीर या मन मात्र नहीं 

बल्कि असल में इससे परे हैं - जो समय के साथ बदलता नहीं 

समय उसको बाँध नहीं पाता, न हीं घटा पाता 

मनुष्य तो एक योनि हैं जिसमे हमने रूप लिया 

इस रूप के ढलते ही हम मुक्त हो जाते हैं 

अगले सफर के लिए आज़ाद हो जाते हैं 

और यह यात्रा अनंत की औरअग्रसर हो जाती हैं 

इस यात्रा का भीअंत हैं जब हम अनंत में समां जाते हैं 

हमारी अस्तित्व घुल जाती हैं ब्रह्माण्ड में 

यहीं परम सत्य को जान लेना 

हमारी  भौतिक जगत में मनुष्य रूप धारण करना 

एक ख़ास उद्देश्य के लिए होता है 

हमारी पूर्णतः विकास इसी रूपांतरण के लिए हैं 

कि  हम सोये हुए आत्मा को ज्ञान की प्रकाश से जगाये

और  खुदको अंत से अनंत की और में ले जाने में सक्षम हो |

(in Oil 33" x 40")

Full of life & vigour,
unaware of human sufferings
the child's juvenile gaze with
unbound zeal & freshness
made him look to myriad possibilities
of Joy & Happiness in the World!
The child sets on a journey crossing the threshold from Known to Unknown !
Known was his reality of Truth
Pure Love , simply Divine!
Unknown lay a thorny pathway to
terrible plight of untold miseries
hidden barriers to lofty visions
Through unending chase of maddening desires
the child grows up a man but ends up
tired & bewildered after a while
loosing his sight & might in the delusion!
Before he could experience the ecstacies of Life,
he is counting on miracles to happen
to rescue him from his plight!

Disstraught from vagaries of worldly life-
Disillusioned he lays down his armour
He renounces all his possessions
releasing himself from the shackles of entanglements, emotional bondage;
unlocking the bewildered mind!
Faith is all what he has, he surrenders!
He desires nothing now-
completely empties himself!
Divine emerges from Void!
For a fraction of second, the lightening strikes!
Revelation of eternal Truth happens!
Enlightenment dawns!

"You are the Source & you are the end itself!"

Our journey begins from nothingness &
ends to nothingness;
from Unknown to known &
then back to Unknown !
It is ultimately merging to One source
from where we all came from !
We are born with unbound zest
of Joy & pure Love.
Lure of Worldly temptations trap us
in the delusion of lofty feats,
letting us loose track of our own inherent happiness
leaving us deprived of our own wealth!
What a sheer display of Maya, drama
playful game of Divine !
He who creates, generates & destroys
for Finite springs up from Infinity & then
dissolve again for incessant flow of energy to various forms!
Pure wisdom springs up from the fountain of Eternal Truth!
Stepping beyond the threshold of Known
in the quest of Unknown-
sets our journey to Self Discovery!
We are all blessed with life Divine
to evolve soulfully &
then merge back to Divine
from where we all emerged
completing our Journey
from Known to Unknown !

ARDHNARISHWAR

Have you ever imagined how this creation is originated. We can start with a  simple example.    The thinker in us can create wonders only if we feel the urge to create. So feelings from your heart pushes the idea from your brain and forces into action of manifestation or creation! Mere conception of an idea is not enough but it can be put into action through force of an emotion emanating from the heart.
The logical mind or intellect  combined with passionate feeling heart brings in Creation!
The masculine aspect (thinker) synchronizes with  feminine quality (feeling) attributing to a complete being.

ARDHNAREESHWAR (Shiva Shakti)
Is the Ultimate Amalgamation of masculine & feminine force into one complete Being!
It symbolizes oneness of all being
Beyond the paradox of opposites -
while complementing each other
it sets in the Harmony of creation
with rhythm of LIFE!

The potential of latent Power keeps lying dormant  unless it is activated
once the vibration of life energy strikes
Inert static energy resonates with life by touch of dynamic creative energy
Formless gets manifested into myriad forms
Purusha (Masculine energy) absorbs
Prakriti (Feminine energy) to bring Cosmic energy into force
Infinite is captivated by Finite for the entire creation to be exhibited, felt & lived

Divine Connection

 

Divine Connection

Divine is prevalent everywhere,

Its Magic is seeped in every cell,

Spread out in bounties of Nature!

Be it in holy scriptures or the pilgrimages

We strive to see Him ; to seek His blessings

In world of mortal beings,

Infinite shines through light of Divinity!

It is hidden though, bound by a secret vow

Only who can listen to whispers of Divine melody

Can catch his glimpse, feel his presence

It is as if Swaying with mystical waves

Divine is dancing to the tunes of universal Symphony

Blessed are those who are devotees to the core

It’s the majestic grandeur of Amazing grace

becoming the sacred thread  

He endears his devotees like gems of necklace

TRANCE

TRANCE:

Let fire of zillion desires be vanquished-

 releasing toxins into smoke to set free

 with a dash of Trance!

 

 

Enchanted  by our passionate desires,

We feel this is what ignites our zeal,

Little are we aware, how our fate (fortune) gets sealed

Once we are trapped into the scandalous deal

We get so attached to our achievements, name & fame it wins

In no time we forget what the real world means

Its like inhaling a doze of deadly Potion- highly addictive

It does elevate to a height you reach beyond dream

Inflicted woes upon you, make you lose your ease

Necrotic you become; infected with disease

You beg for relief- seeking for eternal Peace

Once you surrender, in no time you wonder

How easy it was for you to believe

It was the toxic thoughts that could not get a release

So as you gasp for breath and pulled out the strings away

Which were attached to your falsehood, u now keep at bay
