cognizant

 

eyes see  light and colors

who sees the defects of the eyes?

mind says I am aware of them

what about the mind itself?

the range of emotions

the intellectual capability

the memories of lifetime

the ego which claims every action

who sees them?

the light which permeates everything

without which nothing can be seen

shining in full glory 

oh! my beloved

thou are the one

pulsating as I,I,I

this heart chants thy name

 

Quietude

once again here I am

communicating with words

 words that have  power

to show, to guide

to lead one to experience

to shed the cloak of identity

words too recede

in the silence

where heart resides

oh! my beloved

this heart breathes thy name

thou are the one 

beating as I,I,I ..

Tracing The I

I wonder about 'I'

what is this 'I' really?

 body? mind? bundle of thoughts?

this 'I' feels so special

most intimate 

ever present

here I am

mixing up everything

rattling away

I, Me, Mine

You smile at my ignorance

making me understand

oh! my beloved it is Thee

who is saying 'I'

I am You 

You are I 

this heart chants Thy name as I,I,I

Tryst with Self

your smile bewitched me

the pure magical laugh

with a knowing look

stole my heart right away

tears of joy running down the cheeks

standing there in front of you

stumbling for words

I spoke to you

through my heart

no words were needed

just a simple gesture was enough

you knew what this heart was asking 

oh! my beloved

this heart chants thy name!

Kaashi Calling

a desire to see you was always in the heart

but I knew 

I had  to wait for your call 

 only if you wish then it would happen

many have waited lifetimes to see you

here I was with this heart full of love

wondering, waiting, wanting

suddenly you call me

 giving me no time to prepare

I come to you

eyes filled with dreams

to see you

to touch you

to hold you in my hands

to pour my heart out

oh! my beloved  how you tricked me

laughing at my predicament

teaching me to live

to go with the flow

to give up expectations

to see clearly

 to just be

you so gently made me understand

you are ever present in my heart

this heart chants thy name...

experience of Kaashi the holiest place to be

Kaashi meaning the inner light ..

Kaashi is ever present in our heart

Mystical Lines

the lines which differentiate between you and me

the lines which separate me and the world 

the lines which define me as ME

the lines which define YOU

the very lines are becoming blur

merging into one 

I fail to grasp myself

seeing only YOU 

inside outside

everywhere

your bewitching smile 

casts spell on the world

once again I wonder 

beating in this heart as I, I, I

thou are the one 

Oh!  my beloved 

 I see myself in your smile!!

 

Advaita

Looking through the eyes

Hearing through the ears

The rhythm of heart 

The expansion and contraction of lungs

All the feelings and emotions 

Dancing to the hypnotic tune

The operator runs the show

Hiding at the same time being obvious 

Surrender leading to recognition 

The ultimate truth reveals

Oh, beloved! thou are the only one

No two..

....

....

Now Playing ...

Lights, Camera, Action ..

Mother,Father, Son, Daughter

Each dependent on one another

Role play of life continues 

Each role so special 

Wishing for the play to continue forever ..

STOP

Who is acting?

Who is watching?

Dig deep inside 

The one who is acting is nonexistent!

The one who watches is eternal!!

The one who gets this is out of the role

Others continue 

Role after role

Lifetime goes away..

Another Human birth wasted ..

Oh! my beloved have mercy..

May this birth be the One

No more roles to play..

This heart chants thy name..

Rhythm of Life

Time is always running 

Making sure one understands 

Everything will pass

There is no permanence in nature

Alas, man is searching for permanence

Where to find ??

Man wants life to move in a known pattern

Life throws unknown patterns 

Laughing at his misery 

Life says don't resist 

Let it flow

Whatever uncertainty is there 

It shall pass too..

Everything is perfect as IS in the realm of life

Recognise the rhythm

There is only one way 

It's THY WAY

Oh ,my beloved this heart chants thy name ..

Rendezvous at countryside

The view was breathtaking 
Driving on the country side 
The endless fields were like a canvas
One could lose the count on the shades of green 
Contrasting them was the blueness of the sky
Majestically standing in the horizon
Withstanding nature's adversity 
Mountain makes a bold statement 
I am only a witness! 

Oh ! my beloved, your signature is everywhere 
Looking through these eyes 
What do you think of your creation?
Isn't it the most wonderful thing!
To see yourself in everything 


These words are yours too..
As you inspire inside 
The chant of thy name continues 
In every aspect of life 
One who melts in it gets to taste it
This heart chants thy name..

A whiff of freshness

The little eyes full of mischief 

Eagerness pouring out 

She hypnotises everyone 

Life in the purest  form 

Spreading love 

I look in her eyes deeply

Wonder of wonder 

Oh, my beloved I see YOU!

Laughing gently 

Saying I, I, I

Thou are the name

This heart chants all the time

I hear the chant in her heart too...

Inspired by MYRA the puppy who lives next door

Who loves everyone!!

Dreaming the dream

Arising like waves dreams take form 

Dreamer starts to become the dream

He lives it as real 

Oh! my beloved, how can  a dreamer realise?

It's in YOUR DREAM that he is dreaming

It's YOU who is creating 

Have mercy oh! my beloved 

Do consider the ignorant ones mistake 

Reveal YOUR essence 

May the dreamer dissolve in YOU

Realising that it's a borrowed dream 

He can never dream his own 

Only YOUR love is his panacea

It's YOUR  name his heart chants

YOU are smiling and saying

I,I,I ...

I alone IS

Subtle Reality

As the wind blows gently

The fragrance of jasmine spreads

Enticing everyone to inhale

Can anyone separate the wind and the scent?

Everything here comes in multitudes

A matrix of names and forms

So solid and real

One can easily miss 

The ONE who IS

Evident in everything 

Beyond time and space 

Who resides in every heart as I

This heart chants thy name..

Empty Page

Empty page is hungry for words

As words start to pour

Imagination takes a flight

Creating a beautiful universe

Mesmerised by it's own creation

Consumed by pleasure and pain 

Forgetting without the page it has no existence 

Out of nowhere comes the urge

To meet 

To merge 

To dissolve

To become empty again

It's love which calls 

To find the ONE

Who is in every word 

This heart chants thy name

Picture Perfect

Oh, my beloved 

Kindness you bestow on me

Asserting again 

You are the canvas and the painter

Each stroke a caress of love

As the colours start to stain the canvas

Revealing your essence in them

Boldly stating your presence 

Thou are the only one in the painting 

There is nothing apart from YOU

Oh, my love

This heart chants only thy name

Persona

The mask playing it's role beautifully

Enticing everyone 

Hypnotising the player and the audience 

Not allowing anyone to see the wearer of the mask

The one who dares to look

The one who takes the bold step to say "STOP"

They know the falsity 

They laugh at themselves 

They know the mask was never there!!

Then who was wearing it?

You, me, they... 

Oh, my beloved how much fun you are having 

You play beautifully 

Thou are the ONE 

This heart continues to chant your name...

Entirety

In Every touch your warmth radiates 

In Every breath there is your essence

In Every look your beauty shines

In Every  sound your voice seeps quietly 

Your essence permeates  in all aspects of life

Again and again you are showing 

It's your will which is operating quietly 

You own everything 

Oh ! My beloved, 

It's you in me which says 

I,I,I ....

The chant continues 

Thou are the One! 

Dialect Of Love

What language do you like my love?

Language of Faith?

Of Trust?

Of Devotion?

Which one is You?

You who speaks through me

You  from whom every language emerges

You who is the most sacred language 

You who is beyond words 

How can I capture you in mere words??!!

Love is the only language I have for you....

For love is thy name ...

This heart chants only your name...

Dancing Words

Empty page awaits 

Words from the womb 

Nourished and loved

Spills on the page

All have your essence

Your signature on each letter

Glittering like gold

They dance on the page

Oh,my beloved

What is left to say

You took the letters too! 

Thy name is God

What can I say 

When I see you everywhere 

Outside or Inside

Is there a place where you are not?

When I see, its you who is seeing

When I speak, it's you who is speaking 

  

In everything that I do it's you through and through 

Now I have nowhere to go

Merging in you I dissolve

Oh my beloved ,

Now there is nothing that stands between us 

Without name and form

Thy name is GOD?
