Mahashivratri

 To day is mahashivratri and Vishwa Mohan's blog post (https://vishwamohanuwaach.blogspot.com/2019/03/blog-post.html) triggered this thought.

मिले जब सुर प्रकृति में 

चित हुआ विलीन शक्ति में 

तब जागृत हुआ परम स्वरूप 

सत चित आनंद -

यूँ प्रकट हुआ सृष्टि में।

💞💕💞

why does soul pine and search for an illusion which time and again life proves to be a mirage. There's no mate to the soul other than the Unity, All Pervading God that one believes in.

 ज़िंदगी अजीब कश्मकश है

बस एक बेतुकी ज़िद 

जिसमें तलाश है 

ये आत्मा की शोध है 

आजन्म, अतृप्त प्यास 

उस मरीचिका की ओर

निरंतर भटकन, एक आस 

की कहीं तो, कभी तो

होगी वो मुलाक़ात 

जहाँ अकस्मात दिल झूम कहे

आज मेरा आत्ममी मिल गया

गिनी चुनी साँसों को हो गया हासिल

चैन का पूरा साहिल ! 

New Year Resolution

It's New Year's Day today - 1st of January 2025. 2024 has been a rocky year revealing my utmost strength in face of adversity and vulnerabilities and voids that still stir me in face of love. 

Gratitude for all. 

Yesterday Paashu asked me what is my resolution for this year. So here it is:

Howls of wind

Splashes of rain

Pound the earth today,

My heart resounding 

With the pit pit patter

Is trying to configure

The call of Nature;

Is it trumpet

Being blown 

On start of year this day

Pulling me out 

Of year long reverie

Urging to resume,

Recommence my march;

Or, is it a wail for truce 

Urging, beseeching to let go

Of all that comprise

Unfathomable dance of life,

And instead

Take deep dive into 

Unknown Eternity?

In wisdom, I take heart

I choose compromise 

With dramas that unfold

Endlessly into the living's lap-fold;

And so I rest, 

With Self on hold

In stillness I chant 

To my wearied self -

Inaction 

Is my resolution 

For Light. 

PS: inspiration for this resolution is this verse of Quran:

Light upon Light; Allah guides to His Light whomever He wishes. Allah draws parables for mankind and He has knowledge of all things.

Al-Nur, 24:35

 How to trust love when it changes faces like that of constantly shifting seasons?

हमने मौसम को बदलते देखा है -

चाहत वो शय है 

जो यक़ीन को बदलने नहीं देती।

Relationships ki ulajh

 अब दिशा बदल गई ... too late 

Time pass today. Was rankled by DP addressing me as Maata anc VM as Didi 💕💕

अर्जुन सखा बने थे 

और कृष्ण थे सारथी -

इस प्यास का जुनून था 

पर आज टूटी लगन मेरी 

प्यारों की संबोधन ने जो 

बाँके बंधुत्व के बंधन से , 

इनकार कर दिया 💔

😿😿😿

Solistice night 22.12.24

Night of Solistice 

It's been a long one 

After a long drawn 

Battle with life

I call for truce ...

Let me be

As I am - free

Of want of company 

Other than Thee 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Phew!!!

 You know at times 

It's necessary

medicinal entirely 

To annoy you 

Or, else you'll stay 

Lost in the world of Divine 

Uncaring for the mortal

That we know as flesh

And all that being flesh

Could entail ...

Oh the angst 

Of doctoring a twin soul 

I keep knocking down walls

To open the view

And then

All I can do is  

Sigh a phew!!!
