IN A BLINK OF AN EYE

In a blink of an eye
In a fraction of a second
In a flash
Life becomes a flip-flop
Gradual change
Radical change
For life is ever changing.

DREAMS

Castles in the air
A pie the in sky
A bubble about to pop
Is it a fantasy?
Maybe tis a fancy
Whatever shall it be,
A dream is a dream
Let me build that castle in the air
For a dream, I love to dream.

A FRIEND IN DISGUISE

People strive hard not to face me!

But everyone has to face me atleast once.

I am a good source of improvement!

Yet, people don't accept me!

The reason I meet you is:

To make you realize your potential

And yet, people hate me!

I am "FAILURE"!

A LOVE SONG

A LOVE SONG
0ShareWhitherward did you go love
I cried in search of thee
In sleep I didn't realise
that you were searching for me.

Awakened through a lightning
I saw my dream life clear
The song of The Beloved
came dancing in my ear.

My mind became a reminder
and moving are my feet
Approaching The Beloved
to lose myself complete.

From despair to Hope

Sitting all alone,

Just flesh and bone.

No one to share

No one to care

Though, I blink

And I think.

I feel nothing

For I have lost everything

Why is this happening?

What am I gaining?

What am I to do?

Isn’t there anyone who can help me get through?

"Oh YES there is", I hear.

"Then show me the way, my dear".

And He shows me the light.

Taking me to a great height.

Away from all the trouble

Leaving all the rubble

To a state of joy and love

So pure as a white dove

Ask, Believe and Listen

You will see your inner mission

From despair to hope

The Lord will carry us through any steep slope

INNER SELF

We drift away from our innate loving nature and wisdom
Allow our consciousness to embrace the notion
That our inner reality of form is our source of life.

We become mesmerized and subsequently rely upon our creations
Forgetting the power within our being
Stop and remember this inner being.

Allow yourself to accept and embrace
Unconditionally the love within your heart and your inner self.
By doing this you will love others, the world at large and life itself.

Embrace this and listen with a quiet mind and still heart.
You will hear and you will hear.

NEEDS

What do we need?

We need "This and That".

But what do we really need?
We have the potential to grow in character,
Enquire into truth,
Practice right conduct and non-violence,
Experience peace and bring peace,
Grow in unselfish love and realise unity.

Above all we need to have the right attitude
Towards life, for life , in life, with life
These are our needs.
All other needs will be met once these needs are fulfilled.

Bringing joy to our hearts.

FESTIVAL OF LIGHT~

And let us vow to remember that we are all one, embracing all, discriminating against none.
Let us release our grudges anger and pains, for these are nothing but binding chains.
Let us vow to live each day in the most pious, God-conscious way.
Let us vow to serve all who are in need, regardless of race, caste, gender or creed.
Let us vow to keep Lord in our heart, to chant His name each day at the start.
Let us vow to lead the world from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, and from wrong to right.
May the Diwali be filled with prosperity and peace, love and joy, which don’t cease.
May you have success in all you do.
And may God’s blessings be showered upon you.

FOOTSTEPS

Oh! How I hope, footsteps this lovely year will be tenderfoot, light as air
Treading so light the grass stoop not.

A foot light but, steps true
Through a journey of splendour, much to endeavour.

At times pausing, feet warbling, often wondering
For the path forks and the beaten track makes thee steps weary.

I pray thee, hold up my going in thy path, that footsteps, slip not
With honour, faith, hope and love,steps I shall take
through this journey of faith, I make.
