Keep Walking, Warrior

 

Spiritual Pursuit is like climbing the vertical face of a mountain. Commitment, discipline, renunciation, will power, patience, equanimity, one-pointedness, are few of the characteristics required of the Spiritual Warrior. Some practitioners get worn down & walk away. Here is a little inspiration for the brave Spiritual Warrior. Read below – “Keep Walking, Warrior”

Keep Walking, Warrior

You have been spiritedly traveling this path for so long 

Fighting evil spirits, weathering storms, treading over prickly thorns

All alone, you have battled past many a hazardous obstacle

With only your grit & discipline, not expecting any heavenly miracle

 

Through dark ages, silent wilderness, you constantly kept moving

Not having eaten for days, your stomach growling

Hunger in your heart, to realize the Self never abated

Dropping the mind, no thoughts galore, totally elevated

 

Power of the cosmic soul is your sole wealth in being

Energizing the intellect, and through it your psyche & meaning

Enlivening your breath & the senses, it ensured that you find

Strength to pursue this journey out of the maze of the mind

 

Keep going fearless one, don’t stop or dream of turning back

Walk the path, fail not your oath, your home is beckoning

Once you get there, retrospect will never be a sense of reckoning

When you merge your Self with the absolute eternity & infinity

Space would have exploded, time broken down, and you no more an entity

 

You are the Warrior today; you will be the Supreme Silence thereafter

Just Breathe

 

 We are so attentive to our eyes, ears, nose, tongue & touch. They connect us with all pleasures. But, have you ever concentrated on your breath? Breath gives you life. Breath is the medium. The output of breath is life. The input to breath must then be the source of life. If you were to just breathe, and instead of going outward to life, turn inward, you would reach the Primordial Source of Life, the Absolute, the Real You! Read below – “Just Breathe”

Just Breathe

Obsessed we are in the world of externality 

Attracted like bees into our own illusion of reality

Human Mind, the most powerful magician

Concocting bizarre visions of imagination and projection

 

Shut your eyes, they only serve to lead you away

From the Ultimate Truth that can never be seen

Close your ears, and there will be no more fears

Never will you hear anything that is not of your being

 

Stuff your nose, and avoid smelling any unreal woes

In the infinity of the cosmos, ether has no fragrance

Numb your tongue, and don’t drool to taste or possess

All sensory perceptions are only foods of temporary pretense

 

Touch not, to rejoice in the false glory of your existence

The Ultimate Self can never be attained by ordinary sense

Be it intellectual pursuit or grasping through the external world

When the mind receives no signals, Truth will surely unfold

 

Just breathe, and be with every bit of your breath

It gives you life; absence of it is the reason for death

Live in your breath forever and expand across the Universe

You are now ‘that’, the supreme energy, the unassailable force

Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings

We live in 'tomorrow' a lot of the time. But is 'tomorrow' a surety? What if tomorrow never happens? What if 'tomorrow' is just another dream like the one I had last night? What if I ain't around to see tomorrow? Tomorrow is like a Mirage. Today is Real! Read below  – “Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings”

Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings

Delicious is the ambiguity of the next instant 

Fate hung in balance like a swinging pendulum

If future is known, meaning of life would be a constant

Lost would be all effort in today’s gripping momentum

 

Many an astrologer predicted wrath in dawning doomsday

Soothsayers had to eat their own words & shamefully pray

To protect their own reputation with excuses so many

Hiding behind curtains of fortune’s mysterious tapestry

 

Not knowing what lies ahead is excitement so innate

Will your victory be timed or is defeat in your fate

If you lose yourself attempting to answer such questions

Opportunities will pass you by, drowning all your passions

 

Rise to fight every challenge in the now & give it your best

Once you make the most of the present, lean back & rest

You could not have done better, let nothing else matter

Worry not about tomorrow, bliss cannot be borrowed
