UnFuckWithAble

You mistake it as children's stuff,
This tricky play of crests and troughs…

As the cold sea breeze hits the soaring waves,
One has to know when to ride and when to wait…

When the ocean is your guru, you might forget,
This game's point is not to get mighty wet…

You should soar above the waves so high,
Life's dreams and visions make you fly…

Lost in your Guru's loving grace,
Judging nothing, no person or place,
Skate smoothly over any karmic whirlpool,
You're better than any memory-hugging sinking fool…

Doesn’t matter who made the karmic puddle in jest,
On my dear ocean Guru's chest,
Smoothly do I stay aboard and continue to surf,
No matter who or what tries to rock my home turf…

The Arrow Pulled Back


Green is the color of my devil,
It's not that he is always evil,
It's not the wind's fault that the boat is shaking,
It's actually the misaligned sails' making…

The permission i have  given to the weakest thought,
The permission to be heard and acted upon without being fought,
This permission is shaking the ship's fulcrum,
Not allowing the conditions to be set at optimum,
Conditions that allow for the divine seed to grow,
Conditions that will make life effortlessly flow...

Can feel the resistance within me to play the angel,
My bad experience of ego's dangerous angles,
But Look around and feel the moment my friend,
It's only a mental role play to make life's choices bend,
Approach each moment, revering my mortality,
Invoke Shiva to destroy all that's mine, with brutality…

Surrender my friend, surrender, for it is the only way to go,
Intoxicating yourself will only make the inner confusion grow,
It messes up each time with the vaayu* and the jal* elements of the body,
Leaves me dehydrated and craving for making everything shoddy,
I really want to escape this messy chaos in my head,
The enormous weight makes me wish I was dead…

I was feeling like a child left alone by his Guru,
I realize it was a pot where victim consciousness brew,
For Nitin Bhaiya* had clearly warned me of these,
The conniving victim and the guilty thief,
Kaan Pakad lena* ! Did he say with a broad beautiful smile,
I still feel he's here, but it's been quite a while…

I am still that intense boy, with intentions pure,
Why allowing a thought to make my dream vision obscure,
My ajna* can filter the thought at least,
And deny it the opportunity to become a beast,
For me, the focus of my time on earth is clear,
I find happiness in moments when i have nothing to spare,
Nothing to spare, for everything i have is thrown in the fire of life,
Lovingly nourishing roots and shoots of lifeplants of me and my wife…

Green is the color of my devil,
It's not that he is always evil,
For now, off this bag of greens go,
I'll play with the thoughts like a pro,
Dopamine will be released through tick list and DC stars,
Ways that relax and please without leaving their scars,
For me each moment of Life is a perfect gift,
I've to smilingly surf over its troughs and cliffs…


PS-
*vaayu - air element in the Pancha Bhoota
*jal - the water element in the Pancha Bhoota
*Nitin Bhaiya - Rishi Nityapragya from Art Of Living who was the guide in the Divya Samaaj Nirman Course I did in 2010
*Kaan Pakad Lena - apologise to the master for getting trapped in the mental mess and making wrong identifications and move on
*Ajna - The Third Eye Chakra on the forehead that is also the seat of Prefrontal cortex of the brain, responsible for rational decision making

Samyama


The word Samyama dates back to Patanjali and it means different things to different people, but the recent turn of events in my life has changed what this word means for me forever. It is the process where I was virtually taken out of my worldly life settings by an unparalleled power and soaked in the grace and love of a deeply compassionate being. Only to be thrown back again in the worldly mess once the lure of the latter began to dissolve. It was an experience infinitely greater than my own being's capacity to fathom, comprehend and leave alone express. Yet, here is an attempt - 


Out of the blue you called this terrible fool,
As he tore out of his claustrophobic body,
Is when you threw him back to the Karmic whirlpool…

You invoked the Mahadev to destroy this creature,
His karmic body did experience a tiny fissure,
Through this very hole he tasted his real nature…

Twelve years long solar cycle wasted in outward search,
One moment you took to show that he was only dirt…

Perhaps his karmas had not earned him a longer stay,
But the tears of clarity made him understand his ways,
It is the breath that he has to spend his time with,
Clean his windshield that is splattered with karmic bullshit…

No use to paint stories on this shit smeared window, 
Patiently tending to the roots and shoots of the seed is the only way it will grow…
