What to say?

Poetry :

A bit perplexing!

----------------©----------------

When you're asked:

Where do,

Time, Space and Gravity,

come from?

Or, 

When you're asked:

We're the only humans, 

Living in the whole universe?

(We're -- We are, or We were?) 

What to say,

How to answer?

Doesn't the question presupposes,

Space, Time and Gravity, 

Didn't exist before / prior to, 

Coming into existence! 

At what Time? 

And Where?

And What about Gravity?

Aren't the three interdependent realities?

Could one be without the other two?

I really can't comprehend,

The very question.

May be, 

I'm an old,

Incorrigible, orthodox,

Vehement, irresolute one.

May be,

I'm not.

***

For me,

Time is like Zero, 

An absence,

When can't be found, 

And a presence.

In terms of a numeral.

Just as Time exists not apart from,

The Thought of Time, 

Zero too doesn't exist, 

The Thought of Zero. 

The Thought though, 

Exists but momentarily only.

And the moment too,

Is again Thought only. 

Just as Space is a blank,

A vacuum indeed, 

It's the potential as well, 

Where-in the Universe,

Appears, stays for a while,

And disappears again, 

May be

In a split of a second,

Or in an aeon,

That depends on,

What we assume / resume it to be. 

That's indeed Thought only! 

The Thought,

That exists but momentarily only!

We are walking in a circle,

We're There,

Where We're!

All the Time,

Even Timelessly!  

That means :

We were, and / or We are! 

Time and Space is illusion,

The Gravity (pun intended),

Is but the matter! 

But the matter too is held, 

In Time and Space only. 

Gravity as force, 

Is but the expression,

Of the potential inherent. 

The Potential is:

Time, Space, Matter, only. 

Matter is again, the Principle-Potential,

And also as, the Principle-Dynamic.

All and everything, 

Appear and take form, 

In Consciousness (of them).

The Principle That is Consciousness,

Though makes up every possibility,

And is the only Cause and Consequence,

Remains in abeyance,

To the 'consciousness'.

That is the Man, Life, and Love True only. 

For Consciousness knows no other,

The consciousness knows itself, 

In and through myriad forms and kinds.

That is Why, 

I just can't understand,

That's Why, 

I just say!

I just don't know,

What to say!

Binary Additions.

Poetry : 28-04-2022

--

Binary Addictions

(Sic.) 

--

Do two wrongs make a right?

Do two negatives when compounded, 

Always Make a positive!

It depends.

If they are added, 

Or they are multiplied. 

Nevertheless,

Addition and multiplication,

Are again,

But in concept only.

How you could compound,

Two incompatibles?

Far from being compatible,

Time and Existence, 

Are but two such,

Entirely so distinct notions,

Assumptions only.

How you would possibly compound, 

The two, except in your imagination!

But wait, 

Maybe, We could see, 

Existence and Time,

Are mutually exclusive,

As well as mutually independent also,

Then We could perhaps find out,

If Time really exists or doesn't exist.

But there is no doubt, 

Time is measurable,

Time is immeasurable as well.

And Existence also like Time, 

Is measurable and immeasurable.

Even if that is true,

They have distinct, different units,

Of Measurements 

And I can't say, if the units are themselves,

Mutually compatible or incompatible.

Rishi exhorts us :

अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते।।

ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्यायां रताः।।९।।

अन्यदेवाहुर्विद्ययान्यदाहुरविद्यया।।

इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद् विचचक्षिरे।।१०।।

विद्यां चाविद्यां च यस्तद् वेदोभयं सह।। 

अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्ययामृतमश्नुते।।११।।

अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽसम्भूतिमुपासते।।

ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ सम्भूत्यां रताः।।१२।।

अन्यदेवाहुः सम्भवादन्यदाहुरसम्भवात्।। 

इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद् विचचक्षिरे।।१३।।

(-ईशावास्योपनिषद्)

Summarily :

Those who indulge in pleasures, seek fulfill-ment of desires, enter from darkness unto darkness only.

Even more so than them, those who indulge in knowledge and skill,

The consequences of both are different, 

Thus we have heard from those Rishi / sages, Who explained this to us in detail.

But those who know both the ignorance, the skill,- the knowledge as well, transcend the ignorance, skill and the knowledge also, and thus attain (know) what is life beyond death -the immortal.

Again, those who, (in their ignorance) don't seek to attain the higher status (like that of Gods and of the divine kind), and are happy in this worldly level, do enter from darkness unto darkness. But even more so than them,  those, who seek to attain the higher status and enter into rather the deeper darkness.

Consciousness Revisited.

Poetry : 22-07-2021

-----------------©---------------

What's all this fuss,

About Consciousness!

I'm the Consciousness, 

I'm the manifestation:

The Consciousness-Principle!

I'm the hidden, 

I'm  the manifest, 

I'm  the time without a beginning, 

I'm the ending of the time manifest!

Still I revel in and through, 

All my infinite, myriad,

Forms and expressions.

Could there be a time,

When I'm not? 

Could there be a consciousness,

When there is no time? 

Isn't time but the consciousness?

Isn't consciousness but time only?

Consciousness is the observed,

Consciousness is the observer. 

Yet beyond the two. 

Observation is the Reality. 

The object is the observed,

The subject is the consciousness.

Object and Subject,

Keep on mutating, 

Changing the form,

Yet the two emerge out from,

I'm,

The Consciousness Immutable.

The Unique, but not one or many. 

One or many are the attributes only, 

Of What I'm! 

Timelessly!

The words 'beginning' and 'end',

Belong to time,

But not to, what I'm.

Time is consciousness. 

I'm ever so untouched,

And quite unrelated to,

This time or the consciousness.

(Thus spake the Reality.)
