The 'Gap' called Life!

The ‘Gap’ called Life!

Journey of life
From cradle to grave
A glance let me have
at this ‘Gap’ between
The point End
andThe point Starting!
Caught in this ‘Gap’
Thinking we ‘own’
This intangible space
And the transient time!
In this ‘ownership’ illusive
Lose, don’t we
Moments precious
Of love, peace & harmony!
Overpowered by our Ego,
With Greed, Anger & Jealousy!
Like a journey in a bus
Family& friends
Are the co-passengers
And Events momentous
Just the passing scenery!
Yet, in all arrogance,
As said the great Bhagat Singh
“We live as if, we won’t die!
We die as if, we never lived!
”This ‘Gap’ called Life,
What then is the purpose?
To Discover my True Self
By removng all Ignorance!
Spreading love with compassion
Bringing smiles to everyone!
Leaving a fragrant mark indelible
In this ‘Gap’ called Life!

"Science of Thoughts"!

"Science of Thoughts"!

Thought is the driver of being
Sad thoughts, tears they bring
While Happy ones steer you to smiles!

As negative emotions they do breed
Thoughts of Anger, Lust and Greed
Are gateways to hell, say the wise!

Thought about materialistic object,
Leads us to emotional Attachment
Says a Bhagvad Gita Verse!

Desire comes from Attachments,
Triggering the next chain of events
Anger sprouts form unfulfilled Desires!

From Anger Comes Delusion
Delusion wipes out Memory with confusion
Erases Discernment, finally destroys, as self loses!

Thought bad or good, what it does
From the True joyous Self, our Attention it diverts
From Bliss & peace, we are deprived thus!

Why let thoughts drive us?
Let go the thoughts, and attain ‘Thoughtless Awareness’
With Sahaja Yoga meditation that Liberates!

Mercifully in this Blossom Times,
We’ve got Sahaja Yoga, the ultimate spiritual science
To the Divine Vibrations, miraculously it connects!

Thoughtless when we are, attention is purified
Enveloped by divine cool breeze, to our Spirit we get united
Of the eternal play we become a witness!

Effortlessly we ascend and evolve spiritually
True Guru, O Shri Mataji, I bow to thee
My actual identity of ‘Atma’ – the soul, am able to realize!

Why should I blog?

Why should I blog?

Is it because, to vent, I need a stage?
With anonymity, as added advantage!

I have no frustration to let out,
And don’t need publicity to brag about!

What started it all was a quick inspiration
Or was it to impress a special someone?

Here I am, wondering what to blog
When, on this busy day, I am supposed to slog!

Just when I thought of dispatching this blog to history,
I discovered that I could create poetry!

The power of spontaneity
Is indeed noteworthy!

Harvesting these spontaneous thoughts
Will now be the purpose of my blogs!

A.R.Rahman - Philosopher or Musician?

A.R.Rahman is the ‘talk of the town’ these days, for obvious reasons known to everyone! Surprisingly, I have not listened to the complete song of 'Jai Ho' till date. I still believe, ‘Jai Ho’ must not be the best of almost all the best songs he has created. For me, ‘chik buk chik buk raile’- from gentleman,’chandralekha’from tiruda tiruda, ‘kehna hi kya’-bombay, ‘kaise mujhe tum milgayi’-ghajini, ‘kuchi kuchi rakamma’-bombay, ‘masti ki pathshala’- RDB, ‘yeh jo des hai mera’- swades- with a beautiful shehnai recital etc are very special creations from this maestro.I am one of the million fans of Rahman and have grown up listening to his captivating tunes. I still remember how ‘Chik buk chik buk Raile’ set me on fire and I drove 80 kmph on a bajaj scooter from Vaikom to Shertalai with two of my friends as pillion riders, who lost their breath during the drive!But, what has inspired me recently is his philosophy more than his music. Sample this –In a recent media interview when the interviewer asks “…so, you believe that there is a divine force?”…Rahman quickly responds with a laughter - “Only divine is there that exists…. we are all mortals”Another one - When Rahman received the Oscar, he says “ I always had to make a choice between Love and Hate….and I chose Love, so I am here today!”His school teacher fondly remembers Rahman when she met him recently. He tells her that it is in this school, that he learned that “If you point a finger at someone, remember that you are pointing at God and that at the same time three fingers are pointing towards you”.Such profound thoughts from the Mozart of Madras– Indeed, if we are able to connect to the Divine, the resulting creation will be obviously perfect! This indicates the immense spiritual depth of Rahman.A.R.Rahman – the Musician and Philosopher – Jai Ho!"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy".Ludwig van Beethoven
