I lie ...

When I wake up from sleep and believe I have woken up, I lie
When I accomplish and believe I have, I lie
When i fail and blame others for it, I lie

When I fool myself and believe I can fool others, I lie
When I cry and see others care, I lie
When I laugh and see others amused, I lie
When I live and forget that I live to die, I lie.

Life is a journey

Life is a journey
And the Destination is
Where You Are

May a sense of arrival blossom
In the coming days.

May Year 2007 be fulfilling and meaningful for us.

Pushing the river

Do we really
Need to push
The river
Which
In any case
Is flowing
Towards
The Sea?

The little stream

The little stream
Makes it own space
Trickling
Through the cracks
As the rock stays
Stranded
Stuck with its
Strength and
Pride

Beyond ego & pride

When thoughts subside
When silence settles inside
When consciousness flows
And stillness abides
What prevails
Like godliness
Is love
Eternal, impersonal
Beyond ego & pride

Sin and salvation

My God is always with me.
Sin is what I choose
To dispense with
Salvation is what
I greed.

Splendor of emptiness

In loneliness I pray
Longing for the Other
In alone-ness I celebrate
The splendor of emptiness

Co-existence

Dry leaves
Lying still
On the ground
Below the tree
Foliaged with
Lush green leaves
Wavering gently
With the breeze
