Nothingness

The process is painstaking
But the glow is beautiful
The run was wild
The Rhythm wavered
The head bursts a million times
A smile brings it back
Love runs within
When you have understood everything,
You have known nothingness,
Peace embrace me.

my kingdom come

It seems like I walked up and down a few hills
It seems like my legs need some rest
God knows if my kingdom will ever come
For sure my heart will never give in

My kingdom is really big
Big enough to take all I know
In the urge to show it soon
I walk up the next hill today

One day the mystique will move
The promised light will surely shine
The beacon seems like its closing in
The gates to my kingdom seems like a mound away

With this hope daily I awake
With this hope I move today
My kingdom seems not too far away
My eyes will soon open and so will the joy

dont wake me up

Don’t wake me up my friend
The world seems too strange
I thought I knew everyone
I thought I heard them smile
Now as I open my eyes to the light, It seems all blinding
People standing between the light and me seem all dark
The last I saw them in my dream they were all smiling
The place I wake up here is just like the one in my dream
But here the smiles are more like roars of revenge
The lights are still blinding
I feel fuzzy in my head
My heart urges me to believe that my dream is reality
My mind tells me this is real
You have to open your eyes to the light
But the light here is revealing the darkest side
Or so I thought

I kept my eyes open
I now hear the sounds of my mind
They are similar to the ones I hear from others
Was I the only one asleep
Was I the only one who dreamed
Did we all just wake up to reality
Or did we all just forget our heart

The roaring sounds of revenge slowly subsided in my head
I tried listening to the others
They all sounded similar
They all wanted to be heard
The blinding light seemed to be coming closer
The voices I heard slowly faded
I could feel the heat of the light on my skin
Scared I was till I decided let me close my eyes again
My dream seems brighter now
Looks like I was reflecting light from reality
Smiles still exist here, these are people I saw in real as well
Don’t wake me up my friend I said
Don’t wake me up again
I will wake up myself

mirror mirror on the wall

As you seek more and more from the outside
You slowly fail to look at the greatest thing
The greatest thing that is “You”

Let not the mirror show you who you are
Let not the mirror tell you what is wrong with you
Let not the mirror tell if the world sees you as beautiful
Let not the mirror tell you things, as it always only sees from the outside

Look into yourself for anything you seek
They are all within you:
The highest point of glory
The richest moment of success
The tallest view to life
The deepest sadness
The tear that will stop rolling when you decide
They are all within you
As you look deep within you, you will slowly discover.

You will discover the power to create
The power to create what you want
Then the mirror will never tell you
You will tell the mirror who you are

The opposites to harmony

What seems right in my life seems wrong to you. A situation we all face right from childhood or rather from the time we are born. A few opposites we all live with.

Parents seem all happy and glorious that they have got their score card ticking; people worried about population see the seconds and the birth rate matching each other yet again.

As a young kid you proactively do something hoping the elders at home will say, “good job” and all you can hear is “why did you have to do this”.

As a kid you keep asking your parents to buy you something or the other, but as you grow old when your old parents buy you something you even fail to recognize it.

As a grown up with all true feelings of love you look at the ONE you love and say, “I love you”, and with utter disgust she says, “you are disgusting”.

Mother feels extremely proud about her son, ironically your wife feels why is this mother still so possessive about her son.

A poor man tries to stitch up his clothes to make sure he does not look shabby, and a rich man wears torn jeans to look cool.

As a poor man you struggle all your life to join the rich mans club but a rich man in his circle feels lonelier as he gets richer.

A spiritual person sees god in everything an atheist sees nothing in god.

This list of opposites is endless. Slowly if you look deeper into each human transaction listed above you will see that all this is the game of perceptions. I perceived something good for me but does it become my fault that others don’t perceive it that way.

All this is nothing but a clear definition of how this world is a place of perspectives and everything around us supports these perspectives we form. More often than not the reason why we laugh at the past is that our perception of that incident has changed, because the support system telling us what is right and what is wrong has changed.

Pull yourself out from these support systems and you will realize that the smile that you see today thinking of that incident existed then as well, but we did not recognize it. Harmony to your life arrives when you start recognising this world of opposites, seeing life outside of this help you move on and recognize the beauty of living.

An experience called love

The journey to seek truth is an experience that is completely personal. True realisation of any form of emotion happens only when there is a personal experience. Experience is not built BY ENSURING THAT rules are followed, BUT BY ALOWING THE MIND to have a free spirit. The feeling towards religion or god is an emotion of love, it has to be experienced. Driving it down through the fear of God stops making it a positive experience – IT BECOMES a forced experience.

A forced experience is used to create common grounds they say. A common ground will last only when the people INVOLVED share an emotion of love. If the common ground is built in the emotion of fear, "the fear of god", we then ARE automatically laying the foundations for other feelings like insecurity and differentiation. From here more and more negative EMOTIONS can stem.

Let's imagine what happens when we build a common ground with an emotion called love. THIS common ground now becomes a complete positive experience; ONE, WHICH lays the foundation for feelings like oneness, affection, care and self belief.

Children should be brought up with THESE feelings, BY directing them to the common ground called love. If the feeling of oneness is built right from childhood why would one person kill another? If there is a feeling of self belief is built in the stage of growth, why would a person become insecure and therefore give way to hatred.

Let's stop propagating religion, let's propagate a feeling of oneness a feeling of self belief – a feeling called love. If we believe we are people with a mind that helps us think and evaluate, why do we still live with the fear of god. Let's live with the experience of love. God and religion will then just be forms that love takes. Peace and learning to live with one another can be a benefit. Compassion need not be begged for; it will be one of the foundations of growth. The world will truly be beautiful.

A Smile

As man moves ahead in life
As he crosses borders that were out of reach
As he nails problems he thought were big
Existence. Mere existence no longer excites.

The true search then begins
A search for crossing borders that debates existence
A search that he thinks will bring the true smile
A search for a result that will truly be fulfilling
And so he walks

As he walks, Existence continues
This time the search is a partner
Existence now has now got a new meaning
A meaning even the seeker is blurred
The blur truth keeps him going

A hope that someday he will smile
A smile that is in symphony with the universe
A smile that will see nakedness in rights and wrongs
A smile that will explain existence
A smile so TRULY complete
