I Choose

  

 

The world often asks us to choose between the road of the good & the road of the pleasant. Be warned - the good does not always look pleasant & the pleasant is certainly not always good. The pleasant is nothing but a reaction of the sense organs with external objects. The pleasantness is only in the sensations. If the sense organs wear out, the pleasantness fades away. That which will be ultimately good is to be considered as really good. Is that which appears to be good now & will be bitter tomorrow, good? No! Choose the road which will eventually take you to eternal goodness, where you are goodness itself! Read below – “I Choose…”

I Choose
 
I choose to live alone in absolute equilibrium & harmony with myself
With no negative emotions, and only love as the only feeling
 
I choose to be devoid of desires, hopes, ambitions, expectations
Knowing very well that one goalpost is the start of the next journey
 
I choose to instantaneously slip out of all attachments & aversions
Realizing that these are the fundamental cause of endless misery
 
I choose not to have any beliefs, opinions, judgement, differentiation
Reality is, just as it is, in the immediate now; experience is the only way
 
I choose to drop the mind & all thoughts, for they are both false
And just be in the present, accepting whatever comes my way
 
I choose compassion towards everything & everybody in the universe
In effect, I choose to love myself in all perceived externality, always

Poetry Is The Truth

The Poem is the Poet

Emotions contained within

One and the same

Expressed without restraint

 

The Reader is the Read

Vicariously experiencing the written

Sentimentally maudlin

Compassion flows ahead

 

Poetry is Unity

Of Reader and Poet

No remnant Duality

The Enlightened Ones Said

Anchor Of My Soul

The Soul is most beautiful; it is indefectible symmetry in perfection. Nobody has seen the Soul but try imagine what unsurpassable beauty is; not a little beautiful thing but enchanting, absorbing, enrapturing beauty. The Soul is anchored to the Ego, Body & Mind. These three elements imprison the Soul & are the cause of misery. Break all chains, set the Soul free, and be the infinite, eternal bliss that you are! Read below - "Anchor Of My Soul"

Anchor Of My Soul

It was not too long ago

When my soul was firmly anchored with ego

Body & mind experienced such joyful pleasures

All desires projected in the boundless exterior

 

Wealth, materials, praise, power, status

Five egoistic spokes that mattered, nothing else

Out to prove to the world at large

I was king of the seven seas & the floating barge

 

This was not meant to last, karma wanted another path

Much to my dismay, everything took a turn with wrath

All I thought mine, suddenly no more existed

Back to what I was born with, emptiness

 

Beaten was the body, distraught in mind

In this deplorable state, truth chanced to find

Do they really matter, evanescent objects of illusion?

Better to turn inwards, realize the only redeeming solution

 

Once that anchor was broken, thrown away on land

Freed was the soul, across the cosmos it expands

Swimming through the infinite sea of Ultimate Reality

Here, there are no things, not even an individual identity

Here, we are all One !
