ACTION IN INACTION
Action in Inaction
When the skies tend to crash down on you
The oceans too rise to catch you unaware
Hope’s rays all get doused and vanish
Days and nights turn twilight dead
Wrongs being done with repairs beyond
Insults spit over injuries to hurt
Passion high rides crests up and down
Anger rises like a red fog bank......
Then halt and breath the delusion is rode!
If the thinker turns the witness then
A single strong vibe an awareness intense
Is born to devour the mayhem around
As vapor in air does merge and is lost
Down the vibe’s spiraling vortex it drowns
And shines ever as the sun smiles at dawn
The vibe is none but your ‘I’ alone it says
All is well and know you are in a dream
All that is done can be undone as well for
Time never was in the space that’s conjured
By who else it be but the 'I' ‘I’ alone and
A thought can hold all the joys and sorrows
‘Be as you are’ without a thought and see
That all is gained when all is lost
‘Be still’ ever and ‘see’ your Self
It’s the magic divine meant for the blind
Master among masters Sree Ramana says.
The oceans too rise to catch you unaware

Then halt and breath the delusion is rode!

A pigeon mail for you
A pigeon mail for you
~~~~~~~~
"seventy two thousand plus nerves
thirty two white porcelain teeth
five liters of flowing red liquid
two hundred and six plastic bones
half a pound of hair of mixed colors
all camouflaged by a wet membrane
made to hold together for how long..
a breathing thing with a pulse beat
can the "I" of "ME" be ever this mess,
like the pigeon mail,alas,now I know,
its my trust in "me" that took me, a
pigeon, back straight home, to my heart"

A LOST TREASURE HUNT
The thinker has been on auto mode quite for sometime and has become lazy and used to the ways of the cozy AC room bed all wrapped up in a woolen blanket while watching the RAW channel in the flat tube TV hung above on the opposite wall making it easy to watch while lying down on the bed. A folding chair got dented in the fight and the guy was going in for a five kilo hammer which came in handy from under the platform.
Before this the thinker of course had hung on to the ‘I’ thought for quite some time and has been watching the desperate attempts of the rising thoughts and the way they were swallowed down by the ‘I’ thought and he enjoyed the silence this had created when suddenly the phone rang and he decided to attend to it.
It was a call from his wife from the market asking him to come at once with his two wheeler and fetch her back home as she was carrying two bags of provisions from the shops.
The thinker dutifully completed this task and was back on the bed when the NDTV brought out a very interesting news item concerning the walkout in the parliament following an un-parliamentary tussle and tackle between the ruling front and the opposition.
The thinker, an honest man with noble intentions was deeply angered by this and thought of contributing his views to the Editor of the news paper daily.
But then as an act of god would have it he decided to get away from all this and sat down cross legged wanting to win over his mind by meditation techniques. Alas! instead of the silence the entire parliamentary proceedings was running as a cinema in front of his shut eyes which was dragging him away from the ‘I’ thought. The thinker is back in square one now for the umpteenth time without gaining way into the ‘Direct path of Self Enquiry’ as instructed by Sree Bhagavan, the Master among Masters and Guru and Guide for man in this anarchic or chaotic century.
Sree Bhagavan says “Self Enquiry is the Answer for all sorrows”. One has to have an intense yearning to get away from it all, rather let us say a questing mind. A mind which knows how to focus its attention one pointedly, a fully collected mind with its sharpness to penetrate inward without getting fragmented or sidelined by mundane matters of the day to day life.
He doesn’t say that one has to leave it all and get away to a mountain top to do Self Enquiry. Rather he would prefer one to be wholly with his family, with his job, with everything life has provided one with while doing Self Enquiry. One’s duty is also attended to then normally while one’s mind gets tackled at the same time with Self Enquiry be it while at work, or play or dutifully attending to family matters if one has a family.
From King to his footman Self Enquiry is advised and practicable as it removes disorientation and shows one how to tap the potent energy lying dormant inside him and make use of it fully to live life intelligently and harmoniously leading one to meaning, happiness and the goal of life.
Let us go step by step into the instructions of Sree Bhagavan while we prepare ourselves for practice of Self Enquiry, for diving into our own self, into the hitherto unfathomed depths of our own inwardness where lies the legacy of a treasure for every living individual which if not claimed at the earliest will result in an unfulfilling meaningless life spent in misery and pain and useless activities.
