Random Thoughts

Enveloped with Cosmic eternity

Happy and content is my little self

I walk upon earth
Safe and secure

Like a child playing around mother
Oblivious of lurking perils
In shadowy dark

Evil reigns when trust is lost.

Mind is disturbed with loss of trust.

Disturbed mind creates crux emotions

And crooked reasoning

Love walks away from troubled heart.

One can possess comfort and privilege

But trust has to be earned.

In competition all run yet only one winner

In cooperation all walk hand in hand

Each landing support to other

Strength lies in cooperation.

We all work under the bewitching spell of
Nature given Gunas (traits)

These are like spring, summer and winter of life

Rotating and over powering all our actions

The spring light of Satwa illuminates path with love and joy

The summer passion of Rajas lends its hand
In creating and fulfilling the purpose

The decay and inertia of winter Tamas
Forces us to retreat in quiet repose

The tranquil mind that learns
The balance of emotion and reason

Walks through seasons with calm strength
Plays it music upon an instrument
Tuned to its finest beyond rust

This is the yogi mind
Whose guidance we should seek and trust.

Anxiety

 Storm hits the calm waters

Aching eyes get no rest

Unceasing mental conversation

Rolls out scenario like an old projector rolling out images

Past mid night- past three a.m. nothing but darkness

For bleary eyes

Tear soaked cheeks

That ocean of emotions, swelled by the turbulent phases

Impulse of sorrow beats high in stormy heart

Anguished by its own insatiable appetite for perceived suffering

It feeds on my pain and folly

Sinking deep I try to grapple in dark waters

Here endurance looses its face

Moon lit nights and sunlit days hide from reason

Its boundaries as vast and infinite as my imagination

Shattered and broken I am in that underworld

But stop! Collect yourself!

Go ahead and swim

Call upon to that faith

The innate light of inner strength

Pierce the icy chain of thoughts

Glide back from that ocean of darkness

And reach for open shore

Miles and miles of sunshine awaits there

In its blessings

Wash yourself dry and hold together.

         

चाँद से बातें

चाँद मेरी गली से गुजरना कभी
मेरी खिङकी पे झिलमिल चमकना कभी।

वो बचपन का आँगन नही भूलता
पेड़ की डाल से झूला था डोलता।

उसकी उचाँइयों पर थिरकती हुई
उड़ते आँचल से नज़रे फिसलती हुई,

काले गेसू की दो दो गुथी चोटियां
काँच की चमचमाती हुई चूड़ीयां।

चाँद अंबुअा की बगिया मे जाना कभी
यादें मासूम बचपन की लाना कभी।

चाँद मेरी गली से गुजरना कभी
मेरी खिङकी पे झिलमिल चमकना कभी।

चाँद तूने भुला दी क्या वो वादियां?
चाँदनी रात की सारी अठखेलियां।

वो रंगीन सपनो की गहराइयां
बहके बहके ख्यालों की रूबाइयाँ।

डूब कर उनमें मदहोश होना कभी
किस्से अल्हड़ जवानी के सुनना कभी।

चाँद मेरी गली से गुजरना कभी
मेरी खिङकी पे झिलमिल चमकना कभी।

चांद रूठे जो दुनिया तो शिकवा नहीं
रूठ कर दूर मुझसे, तू ना जाना कभी।

चांद मेरी अरज इतनी करना कबूल
तेरे बिन मुझको जीना न होगा मन्जूर।

चाँद मेरी गली से गुजरना सदा
मेरी खिङकी पे झिलमिल चमकना सदा।
