I am choosing to change my world (poem)

I am choosing,
to be with GOD,
whether I am alone, or,
in, difficult circumstances.

I am choosing,
to speak up TRUTH,
whether it is to myself, or,
to that person, it matters to.

I am choosing,
to honor the SOUL,
whether it is within me, or,
inside any being, I interact with.

I am choosing,
to think with LOVE,
whether it is about myself, or,
about the people, in my thoughts.

I have got to act on what is bothering me (poem)

To prevent the ants, from the grass to pinch, my spread out arms,

I need to put an extension to my yoga mat, perhaps a shawl under my arms.



To prevent people, in my life from disrespecting me or telling me what to do,

I need to set limits, or to ultimately stop interacting with them if they don't mend their ways.

Who I trust most, that is Krishna,
Who I need most, that is Krishna,

Who I love most, that is Krishna.

The problem is not the jacket, but how I am wearing it. (poem)

In that dark room, I somehow wore my jacket.
In the well-lit room, I was told it was inside out.
In that moment, I immediately turned it inside out.
In reflection, I felt, I need to check everything in Light.

When the bird sings, she is being in now. (poem)

When the grass blade dances, it is being in now.
When a kid lifts up arms on slide, she is being in now.
When a person falls asleep under a tree, he is being in now.
When being in now, gives true joy, then why can't I be in now?

Let expectations go, let seeking only from God happen.(poem)

Let fears go, let security from the Universe be found.

Let resistance to all thoughts go, let observation with God happen.

Let frustrations from the circumstances go, let naughty child within arise.

Let judging of each reaction of every person go, let honoring to their soul happen.

Meditation is... (poem)

The light, in which I get to see.
The love, in which I get to bond.
The support, in which I get to blossom.
The courage, in which I get to be my spirit.

I wonder, as to who is he. (poem)

My body feels complete standing next to him, even though his body needs crutches to stand.

My heart feels like crying when I hug him, as if I were meeting a dear one, even though I hardly know him.

My mind liberates my ego, when I speak all my thoughts to him, even though I am uncertain about his reactions.

My soul inspires me to become a spirit, and keep giving him all that I can without expecting, even though he is very formal and shy.

It was a special day (poem)

It was a joy, to simply be.

It was a blessing, to have fed him.

It was a yielding, to step forward and hug.

It was a liberation, to have spoken like a spirit.

I like the way...(poem)

I like the way, leaves sway after Sun kisses them.
I like the way, my spirit feels after speaking up a truth.
I like the way, my body dances after sharing God's blessing.
I like the way, my heart sings after an awesome meditation session.

If this were my last moment, then I would ...(poem)

Worship,
caressing his feet,
before,
making him wear shoes.

Feed,
his favorite food,
after,
cooking it, with all my devotion.

Hug,
him neck to neck,
while,
sitting on top of him on a chair, with my God.

Tell,
him that I wish to do all these,
and,
that for me, this connection has been, the most sacred.

Respect Vs Love (poem)

Love,
may or may not be,
of the same frequency,
between the two lovers.

Respect,

of the same frequency,
between two individuals.

When my frights lead me to joy (poem)

When I get fearful, then, I think about love.

When I feel content, then I sway smilingly.

Divine Connections (poem)

When, the spirit opens up,

then, the body meets soul mates.

Silence Matters (poem)

When there is silence outside,
then only,
the mild noise of a string,
hitting against wall is audible.

When there is silence inside,
then only,
the soft voice of the spirit,
calling from within is audible.

Judging is a Culprit (poem)

When I feel that he was unfair,
and say that, “He really hurt me.”
then I need to stop complaining,
and direct energy towards healing.

Physical Love Versus Spiritual Love (poem)

Physical love is conditional on what is given and spiritual love is unconditional.

Physical love expresses only in person and spiritual love in spirit too.

Physical love decreases with time and spiritual love is constant.

Physical love is finite and spiritual love is infinite.

When God surfaces, then Fears dissolve (poem)

When Resistances rise, then Fun decays.
When Expectation starts, then Joy stops.


When Pride arrives, then God departs.
When God surfaces, then Fears dissolve.

What is Lightness? (poem)

Lightness is what the belly feels,
when the soul acknowledges a deep buried truth and,
utters over the phone, “I love you” to a high school classmate, after, two decades,
or, confesses face to face, “I don't love you” to the spouse, much after, a decade of marriage.

God, bless me so that...(poem)

My mind be completely present in each Moment,
My body become an absolutely passive Observer,

My soul become a radiating source of Divine Love.

I bow to the not-yet-visible God in him (poem)

Even when the clouds are blocking the Sun,
I know that the Sun is there, right behind it,
even though I cannot see the Sun or the rays,
and I simply bow to the Sun in that direction.

Similarly, even though his ego is hiding God,
I know that the God is residing in him, too,
even though I cannot see God or the Grace,
yet, I feel inspired to bow to God in his heart.

Awareness is... (poem)

When I don't write poems,
When I don't sing songs,
When I don't feel calm,
Then, I know that, somewhere, I am blocked.

When I keep on writing,
When I keep on singing,
When I keep on aligning,
Then, I know that, continuously, I am flowing.

Observing is calmer than Reacting (poem)

When,
I get irritated,
with TV's,
loud sounds,

When,
I get bugged,
by kids,
bathroom conversations,

When,
I get flared up,
by someone's,
disrespectful comments,

Then,
I keep reacting,
instead of,
choosing to be an observer.

Pain + Smiles = Evolution (poem)

Some people bring pain,
for something within them,
is pricking something within me,
and they make me feel squeezed.

Some people bring smiles,
for something within them,
is caressing something within me,
and they make me feel supported.

The former, push me forward,
to release old thinking patterns,
and the latter, provide me love,
to nourish new thinking patterns.

Till, I read raisins on that green packet.

Pumping is necessary to radiate Light (poem)

Just as, in lasers, an external pump,
is used to purposefully push electrons,
to a higher energy level so that they can,
decay to a lower level and radiate light.

Similarly, all difficult circumstances,
in life happen for a specific purpose,
so that amidst all that is happening,
one can consciously radiate the Light.

Being in Stable Equilibrium (poem)

Whenever,
I am in an excited state of happiness,
or in a depressed state of frustration,
I am in an unstable state of equilibrium.

Whenever,
I am experiencing a state of calmness,
or experiencing firm rooting within,
I am in a stable state of equilibrium.

Whenever,
I am in an unstable state of equilibrium,
I can not experience the ecstasy of joy,
till I eventually reach that stable state.

So,
it is better that I consciously choose,
to make sincere efforts to reach and be,
in that stable state of inherent peace.

If the heart is not clear, mind cannot see clearly (poem)

Yesterday, the cleaners came and cleaned the closed glass windows from outside.
They took off the net, cleaned it and then washed each glass window thoroughly.
While they were doing it, I noticed the slowly increasing clarity through glasses.
But, in one window, where, the inside net could not be cleaned, opacity remained.
