Walking down the aisle of life,
Coursing through its bliss and strife,
Many souls seemingly cross by each other.
A coincidence or what !... who does really bother?
As it seems.... some appear to be known,
While others seemingly unknown,
A memory of the conscious mind or the soul???
The mind connects with a few, calling them friends.
Whereas, there are others, with whom the mind can never blend.
The synergistic friends
And the antagonistic Foes!
Nevertheless,,, the soul has to bear with them all,
Cocooned and camouflaged within the materialistic shawl.
Its journey so far to reach its destiny
Is Guided by both the synergist and the antagonist.
The un-mindful soul exists in the body as if it were its haven!....?
While the mindful body gets entangled,
Into the materialistic world, it gets embroiled,
Timely experiencing hell and heaven.
These momentary hell and heaven
thus created by the mindful thoughts of emotion
arising due to the mindful actions of a friend and a foe
who/that play the instrumental role
work only to propel the soul.
The soul is rubbed,
The soul is scrubbed
By the friend's caress of affection
And also by the clashes of ego
With the materially obvious Foe....
Bit by bit as it gets detached from them both,
It only travels ahead.
The harder scour making the journey smoother
The Foe indeed being the Friend much needed to journey faster
As one, the soul and the mind course the azure of life
Questioning the existence
Judging the perseverance
Clearing the conscience
Finally once the soul is burnished enough and polished,
The body realizes and accepts its anchorage
Though once believed, it was never the harborage
For it was always the refugee existing under the Soul's haven.
And even when it ceases to exist....
the soul, into eternity, would always persist.
