Shiva-Shakti

 

The illusionary game

People have called me loud,

People have called me Voiced.

People have called me talkative.

All from their own perspective!

For some I am an entertainer,

For others I am no less than a joker!

For some I am brandish,

For others I'm rather snobbish!

For them my ways are revolutionary,

A means to only flourish.

For others I am a lost soul

Who likes to spend time deep in a hole

There are some who called me selfish,

Some others also titled me a hypocrite.

For they found me not bothered about the world, 

For they found me not bound to my word.

But alas! Such contrasting narration

Did definitely create a commotion!

Confused I stood, only to understand

Life judges you not on your stand

But on the mood that dwells in their mind.

In the moment of the interaction

Creating the ripple of altercation 

There was actually no one to blame.

It was only an illusionary game

Of the thought and the action,

Of the action and the reaction. 

Simply humbled, as I walked,

I  wholeheartedly laughed. 

The melodious Literate in essence

Timely, as I peek into the alter self,

I realize this melodious literate in essence

Who I relate to as neither he nor she

But a Shaman of words dwelling deep within me

I ever wonder at what you pursue,

I ever more ponder at why you pursue

To merely relish on the delicacy of wordy bites!

To merely chronicle the Universal delights?

That could otherwise be mentioned in concise

With a little less wit though a bit less precise.

Is it for the love of nature?

Is it to show the mastery over Literature!

Yet, your play of words does entice

The grandeur of the moment that was not otherwise.

Is it in search of someone lost,

Is it to replace something from the past?

If not to reminisce those petty pretty moments

why would you contemplate 'bout them in the current?

Is it to air an abode of romance,

Is it to set sail into a realm of trance,

With chimes of bewitching syllables

You purely cast a spell of marvels!

Nevertheless, I only speculate in admiration

The real mystery of your motivation.

In an enigma of this pleasant speculation,

I realize your verses are an expanse of enchantment

Waiting to be traversed and unleashed for a soulful contentment!

possibility

 There is no wisdom that cannot be reached

There is no pinnacle that cannot be touched

There is no quest that ends only at the horizon

There is no man who never reaches his destination!

Silence Resonates More Than The Sound

Silence resonates more than the sound,

Un-boundness resonates more than the bound!

If what I was looking for was always found,

My soulful quest had never been sound.

My quest was always dressed up by the muddy senses,

My ears were ever enchanted by the sounding melodies.

My eyes craved evermore for the beauties of nature,

My actions perpetually bound to the duties of self-nurture !

Satiated at each stage ... yet never in entire,

The quest for happiness piled by many a more desire.

Yet after each contentment, the thirst stayed un-quenched.

In the race of achievement I was completely out wrenched!

Disquiet, discontented, yet marching on to conquer more,

Being guided not by a need but a longing from the core,   

Could I ever be convinced?

Could my turmoil be ever evinced?

Once a euphony now turned into a clamor filled rage,

Once a success now became a bounded hamster cage!

Indeed, at the end of the marathon mile, 

In the wake of the endure all this while,

In a cry for release from the wild,

Silence did resonate more than the sound!

Un-boundness did resonate more than what was bound!

What I was looking for was always around.

With the shackles of my thoughts thoroughly unwound,

I poised as a spectator blissful and sound.

Time and its Trine

Delving into the depths of Time,

I wonder about the mysteries that shroud its trine, 

The past, the present, the future !

All in the synchronous order

An opportunity lived/unlived is lost in the past,

A game is being played in the moment of the current,

A dream of nurture is secured for the future

Time is indeed an existential entity,

Is its existence a reality?

An entity man has never seen nor ever touched,

Only an abstractness called time that man always vouched

Vouched for a reference or a solution.

Is it a mere thought 

that man has always sought?

For, the once Future soon shapes to the Present

And the Present leaves as the Past moment.

A play of our thought and emotion!

Like the pendulum oscillating to and fro

Do our thoughts swing to create the time flow?

For, at this very moment all that persists is only this moment

Only the thought travels the abstractness of time.

What if at this very moment,

What if at this very thought,

Man would be free of the thought!

A Memory

 What is a memory/ies ...? Are they the moments we lived? Are they the clothes that we once wore? Are they the things that we once used? Are they our happy and sad experiences? 

Yet all these die off once the human being bearing these memories is no longer living in this physical world! Thins can be destroyed, clothes can be worn out...does it mean memory/ies are lost?? The age old belief goes that Memories live on.... 

Memories live on, not through any material object. A true memory is one that lives on through our progeny (physical or metaphysical), our generations (family, knowledge or a teaching). It lives on through our genes represented by physical forms as features, as well as habits and also in the form of quality of physical and mental health, attitudes , emotions, our behavior, teachings, values that may or may not be genetic... they are all our memories or you may call them the impressions of the material created by time .. and these are passed on from one generation to another, from one life to another merely influencing, thought provoking life as it continues. 

The journey of time and memory is infinite. 

Quote for the day

 Let them read your silence,

Let them wonder why you smile.

For those who judge your presence,

Let them ponder for the while...

The Purpose of life

 By Karma, one is bonded to all those connected by blood, thought, intention, by emotion or by actions! All of these being material, one may call them opportunities or lessons or whatever.... Yet they are the stepping stones, escalating one to realize self. The bond is an attachment that only strengthens by accepting it.... BUT... the spirit is free,,,, Detached, nonetheless, united with the cosmic energy that propagates all the material life in one's lifetime. We all journey to experience the same....

Quotes for the day

 Success is an entire challenge!  Accepting the challenge is an absolute success !!

Walk your path, spread your wings, and never fear to venture out of the routine!

A Universe within and without

 A beautiful world, a colourful collage !

A beautiful world, a mystic mirage!

A reflection of the self-transforming image,

A penance that only deepens with age.

Age that which is uncounted,

Age that which is unbound.

For what do thy seek?

For what do thy long?

Appreciating the ugly and the pretty!

Deciphering the right and the wrong!

All with open eyes of beauty

Beauty that emanates right from the core.

A whole universe acknowledges thy presence.

Yet, now it awaits thy essence

An essence of oneness

That longs for stillness.

Embrace this quietness

to transcend into the expansive profoundness 

behind the closed eyes!

To embrace the universe of bliss 

A Universe within and without !

Seeking Perfection

 No one is Perfect thence, we should get over judging others in the view of Our 'Perfection'!

Everyone is Perfect in their own unique ways, lest our imperfect vision fails to recognize it!

Time

time is a unique relativity 

for someone who is busy, time passes extremely fast

for someone who is lazy, time is slow

for someone who has no thought, time is irrelevant

Subtle words

Your competition is not with the bodies outside; but with the substance within.

There was no failure nor success. All that one assumed to have lost was never meant for the journey and all the gain was destined to walk along.

Find the source of happiness and then you will stop searching for the reasons.
