Untitled #2 - I seem to be happy..........
I seem to be happy
in the midst of company.
But by myself, I am always in sadness;
thinking, hoping of, what I know is
missing from my life.
If what I am thinking about knows,
why doesn't it come?
To me, who could give so much,
for as much given,
To make me happy.
As I am alone,
in the midst of that company.

Quatrain #507 - It is said that you can choose.....
It is said that you can choose your friends but not your relations
and the reasoning behind this is not really based on speculations.
The former is a situation which we can do something about
but the latter is a relationship we might like to do without.

Quatrain #206 - There's only One God......
There's only One God Eternal irrespective of how many religions there all are,
because each is a different path one takes to realise Him shown by an Avatar.
There are many races of people each with their own culture, language and locality,
which are all part of the One Human Race, that in unique ways worship That Deity.

Quatrain #131 - The stupid person says and does.....
The stupid person says and does whatever he or she thinks or feels is right,
but their own stupidity they're not able to see properly at all in its true light.
It takes a special wisdom and intelligence to help them see the error of their ways
with compassion, love and patience one should strive to instruct them in their days.

Quatrain #224 - If the body is the Temple of God
If the body is the Temple of God then the inner chamber is a pure loving heart;
the thoughts of the mind the steps to the altar, the fires of devotion are the art.
Our field of activity is the Temple grounds, how we relate to each other the fellowship;
living in tune with God is our communion, sacrificing our false nature the true worship.

Untitled #3 - I have engrossed it in my mind.......
I have engrossed it in my mind
what is missing, what should be mine.
But how hard it is, to get it, in this life of ours.
Oh! how I wish I had not come into it somehow.
I have waited so long, searched so deep
Its meaning, I'm sure will not wear away.
But, what meaning?
Oh Yes! , I know now and vaguely remember
how it was like, but it wasn't for long!

The Wheel Of Time
The wheel of time is like a giant clock
in this circular physical world
and its spokes are the second,
minute and hour hands that
continuously seem to move within it
and propel it forward in one direction
as perceived through the hub of our awareness
which witnesses the recuring phenomenon
and flux of life in its various stages of
birth, youth, maturity, old age and death.
What of the afterlife and rebirth then?

Untitled #6 - Every one does abuse me so.........
Everyone does abuse me so
for what reason I don't know
I am getting peace of mind
all of which is in good time.
There is a way that I must find
through this barren life of mine
to achieve that which I have not
now is the reason for my lot.
I know now what must be done
to ease the scorching of the sun
Stay in the shade and take care
so as not to catch a chill in there.
That is why I say to you
you must be careful too.

Random Thoughts
From nothing comes everything
or is it just the other way around?
To make something out of nothing
is like growing from the ground.
I wonder what forces are involved
for certain things that do take place.
For all the things that get dissolved
and the effect of the mystery of grace.
There has been talk and theory of everything
but who is around that can really understand.
Words that are supposed to mean something
are usually not even poignant but very bland.

Untitled #5 - The other day it was made known to me......
The other day it was made known to me
that this is the way it should be.
Come what may crooked or straight
you cannot stay in this state.
Everything moves slow and fast
the time is now, forget the past.
You are you and they are not
what you think is what you've got.
Say to yourself: 'I will no more,
turn my back or close the door.'
Go outside, look and walk around,
see for yourself, you're on solid ground.
Look ahead, you have not lost,
all that it takes will be all its cost.
