Wants and Needs

When you want something

you make it starting with the initial drive,

then with the sustained inclination

and when and if there is the availability . . .

with time, energy, and resources

But when you need it, these factors line up promptly for you to make it. 

Codes and rules.....

Codes and rules.....

Good, until they enslave you.

Truth.....

Do not carry it like a mule,

Ride on it to reach your goal.

Nothing ever is given to you,

You better reach for it.

GOD

Logic tells –

God is the Creation of Human….!

A Concept of Human’s never-satiated ‘desire for perfection’.

A Goal in the horizon,

In Human’s never-ending march  towards it. 

A Goal that changes its hues all the time

With respect to the perceiver,

And always moves farther and  farther  away,

Very much like a horizon. 

And God- the Concept Dynamic, is good for the Human. 

Let's dream

 Let's dream, dream and dream away

When the breeze thrills the flora to sway

As the sun glides  down its cloudy way

Let's drift along the merry bulbul's way

Away from the cares ,away from all sorrow

And still far away.

Dive deep into the Universe Immense

Flutter and prattle all sweet Nonsense

Now the air brims up with thy joy

Here Beauty unmasks  Truth, Rejoice!

When ye come down, thine is the world

Thou, Nature's dreaming happy Child!

On terrorism and evolution

Mutation is Nature's Ego.

Adaptation,Nature's Humility.

Natural Selection.....

Nature's Wisdom

For its survival and evolution....

To make Itself, better and better

Than ever.

Terrorism is the mutation on the human mind,

That Nature decided to try...

To make a better human race,

Less emotional...

More rational.

The human mind would eventually adapt.

The human race would eventually select,

To weed out the emotionally-vulnerable weak..

To let the more rational to survive, 

And evolve on to a superior species...

Homo sapiens sapiens Sapiens?  

Freedom

Know  what you want to do and not do!

Freedom is…

Not having to do what you don't want to do….

And…

Doing what you want to do….!

Manusha!

Achieve it….. in that order.

Nature's Smile

Would you say…

light is good and darkness, evil?

Think of the dark cloud, the Hope in drought.

Would you say…

light is boon and darkness, curse?

Think of Night and its Peace.

Would you say…

knowledge is light and Ignorance, dark?

Think, it was dark, where light was Innovation.

Would you say…

light giveth Life and darkness  not?

Think of mother's Womb.

Would you say…

There is war among the two?

Nay, they smile at each other, sure as e’re

Pain

As babies we cry for attention.
As children we cry from physical hurt or fear of the unknown.
As adolescents we cry out of fear of the known.
As young adults we cry on emotional hurt done to us.
As mature adults we cry on emotional hurts done to others too.
In mid-life we shed happy tears when we see someone overcome one’s life's obstacles.
In old age we cry when we witness (or remember) goodness.

Nothing under the sun is achieved sans pain

Woman's son must be borne in pain

To die and to leave he must have pain

In the midst, to teethe, to walk, to learn

Anyway he has to have pain.

Pain tho' is oft admixt with fun

The soul…perchance, laughs

When the painful abode it leaves.

Teething pain ends in smile and fun

The toddling kid wins the joy of run

Locked in Love is pain, not pure fun

For, one needs to dig into the other

To carve therein a cozy nook,

To rest their aching heads, thither.

Bear with it, bear it thou must

For in life, pain and fun are e'er so admixt.

The Pillar of Fire

The Pillar of Fire leads ahead,

Fascinated…, I follow.

We ne'er stop.

Compassionate to the Ignorant,

You suck them up….

Propellant to the Seeker,

Until the Desire lasts.

Hey, Pillar of Fire,justify!

Or, I follow Ye no more.

It's Exodus again…

Only, all are Moses..!

Now, the Pillar of Fire

Can't talk them off

The Promised Land.

THE QUEST

Science gives conviction.

Religion gives fulfillment.

Come again...?

Science aims at conviction,

Religion aims at fulfillment.

If only they converge!

They should…

And hence they would.

What next?

The quest goes on !

Propel us ahead, Oh Mind!

Mind -

That cracked the “Big Bang” fire works

That propelled the tiny RNA,

Taught  Amoeba, mitosis and then meiosis,

Enthused the Fish to jump on to land,

Urged the  Reptile to take to  wings,

Clothed the Monkey and

Left Man in Divine Discontent.

Now !

Is that Satan, that  gave the apple to Eve

Or the apple,  the Divine Discontent,

Which turned the Lesser into Man?

And made him bore through the atom

Only to end up in the  Uncertainty Principle?!

Seek remedy in yoga

Devise ParaBrahman and Avatars

And make himself Untouchable?

Quench his thirst in Jesus' blood and Compassion

Yet lead the Crusades?

Or get reassured in Mohammed and Buddha

Still indulge in genocide!

While walking up the ladder of his own genome

And getting lost in Variable Expressivity,

And exploring  his Earth and the Universe

Groping still in Space…,

To sustain himself and seek furthur,

Ever struggling to decrease the entropy

Alas, it bursts always somewhere..

The entropy of the universe in increasing…………

Until…..?

The end..,

If the circle has an end.

Oh Mind !

What art thou……..

The Animate and the Inanimate?

The Constant Energy

That always Is?

The perpetual motion of the only kind?

What art thou…….?

Survival

~~~~~~~~~

Ego and humility are…

Two  accessories in the survival kits .

Ego is the armour

And humility is the spanner …

To loosen the nuts & bolts ,

To help bend forwards or backwards

That the creature can wriggle and manoeuvre

Through the labyrinthine  paths of the mundane worlds.

There are many times when I can put down the spanner

And still walk unscathed,….

But not the armour, for I survive not any more.

Oh Mother Earth, show me a place..six by three

Where I can dump these two and flee.

Nature

Nature...

The first-generation   learner.

Not quite stupid,

Only makes a lot of mistakes.

Tsunamis, quakes and the like...

CHAOS.

Mutations...

Smart some, dumb a lot.

Aberrant genomes...

Disorders and diseases...

The long and short of it...

We all - The Nature,

Evolve  all the time,

Suffering a lot!!

Cry ( Child Relief Fund)card

I am a little sapling,

Your child...

Let me live.

Maybe

I could become like a banyan

To give cool shade,

Let me live.

Maybe

I could give the society

New dimensions ...

Just let me grow.

Maybe

I could turn the world

A better place

Along with my like...

Just let us flourish.

Let us live,

Let us thrive,

Let us know ourselves,

Let us grow,

Let us flourish

Just  give us the Tomorrow

That is our due.

Me! 1.

In me....there is

A bawling baby

A laughing lassie

A turbulent adolescent

A magnificent lady

And yeah,

An owlish ancient too!

2.

Bawling baby

For a plaything..

Arrives there the magic deer,

Lassie laughs and dances.

The adolescent chases in vain,

Puffing and fuming...

The lady stops and cocks her brows.

The ancient...

In toothless grin and wisdom

Turns away.
