You said;
'' Connect with the people you know,
With the friends, and others,......"
And You helped me indeed.
Because I had been seeking a way,
- to connect to myself first,
And then with the rest of my world.
Because until I am connected with myself,
I am always fragmented, confused, uncertain,
About myself,
And about the world around me.
About my past, present and the future,
And the same of the world.
I am not Whole.
Not even an Entity,
So no question of having an Identity,
-to say my own.
You have been the route,
Through which I connected to myself,
I recollected myself,
-To my Real, Timeless, Whole Being,
That I am ever.

Thank You facebook !!

Atithi (Guest) !!

~~~~~~~~Atithi (Guest)~~~~~~

***************************

Every Evening,

I go for a long walk.

And before returning,

Sit for a while in the park.

Adjacent to the temple,

-In the third street.

Where I saw you,

-My Friend,

We met each-other,
Some day.

For the first time,

-2 years ago.

Something brought us near each-other.

But we had no commitments.

We just liked each-other.

Certainly,

It was not a 'Romance' !!

We became nice friends,

But strange,

We never invited one-another,

To our home !

The days have gone,

The seasons came-in and left,

Sometimes I remember you,

Sometimes I feel,

You are there,

Some-where around.

And suddenly,

I shall be going to catch your sight.

I know, it's my dream,

An imagination only,

And I get-up from the bench,

Where we shared our conversations,

Where we met without compulsions,

And commitments.

and the matters of very personal life,

Though,
Neither you,

Nor me interfered in our fates.
Neither you of mine !
Nor I, of yours !

But we kept chatting,

-in silence,

Watching the children play, love and quarrel.

again and again,

Today I noted-down,

-wrote-down,

This,

-in my diary.

Cause,

I'm leaving this place today,

And may be, meet you sometimes again,

There once more,

Through the memory-lane,

-through my diary,
---

Atithi !!

Thanks Alicia,

Atithi may be a name, but in Hindi and Sanskrit,

it means;

-A Guest, 

We say : Atithi Devo Bhava: 

The Guest is God.

In other words,

God may visit someday as Guest, and you may not know.

So don't leave it to chance.

Be prepared and ready !

Because God is one, and might be visiting every devotee and

even non-devotee, because (S)He has to look after all beings.

In my life, God came in such a way, as described in the poem.

Not literally, but like-wise, and I didn't fail in recognizing 

Him / Her.

So metaphorically I narrated His / Her visit in this poem.

Two half-some,

make ONE Whole,

In one-self,

How-so-ever,

May one try,

Remains less than,

Or equal to half,

However,

The Other one half,

- may spoil,

The best efforts of,

- the other half,

And prove oneself,

A bitter-half.

But when both are willing,

And determined,

Make a Best-One,

One and Complete Whole !

Whole and Sole.

A peaceful One Soul.

I see you,
In the distant sky, 
On the Horizon,
Many a times so very close,
I felt like touching You !
They said;
"You are there  !"
But instead,
I found themselves there !
We have been playing this game since long,
Since times immemorial !
We have been pointing-out the way to it,
-To each-other,
-To one-another.
And every-one fell victim to this illusion,
That every-one else, except him/herself,
Is away from you !
You kept playing this game with us,
All the while !
It brings tears to the eyes of every-one,
-Until one is dead,
And the mourners,
Sometimes see a glimpse of you vibgyor,
In the tears of the dead !
And sometimes in the tears,
That the mourners themselves shed !!

Cry Man Cry !!

~~Cry Man ! Cry !!~~~~~~

***********************

Crying is the first basic instinct of human beings.

The infant cries for no specific reason. 

We have associated crying with sorrow or pain, 

Agony or trouble. 

In fact, it is the way to return to one's true identity,

And it gives immense relief and joy. 

But when we translate this instinct, Into a response to sorrow, 

We begin thinking that there must be some reason,

-Behind crying.

The only valid reason is;

By that we 'connect' to our true being.

Don't Shy !!


Cry Man ! Cry !!

Friendship.

~~~~~~~~Friendship~~~~~~~~~
___________________________
***************************

When something happens between two friends,

They feel 'connected',

And all of a sudden,

Something makes them,

A stranger to each other,

-In a second's time.

This too happens,

Why this happens ?

-Is it,

Because the bridge has suddenly collapsed?

-Is it,

Because it was made on sands ?

Or, 

Simply because it was a dream-bridge ?

And the friendship was a dream !

An eventful, fascinating, cozy,

Or a weird, sordid, and horrendous ?

Whatever,

After the dream is over,

One may relax,

Not to venture into a new dream !

Again !

And one will never!

If one is wise,

Relationships.

~~~~~Relationships~~~~~~

***********************

Thanks Dear,

For detailed information.

I didn't want to ask you all those things.

I hope you are a mature lady and see the realities of life. Not your or my or 

of the society,but 'we' as human-beings. And no one is guilty.When one

accepts oneself as a human-being only, not a male or female, child or

adult, Indian or American or an Argentine, the perspective changes.Then

we are sensitive to every-one. Then we love every-one, but not 'attached' to

any particular person in any way. We may be related, but not concerned

about others' life at all. We help, If we can, to who-so-ever that needs help.

That is all.

But when we seek security in relationship, that is an imaginary problem, 

and there is no answer. The Future that 'happens' is altogether different from

what we fear, or desire about. In that way it is uncertain. And in a relationship

of any kind, -we imagine, expect, hope, fear, compromise, commit, complain,

become depressed or annoyed, but hardly understand the other, and more 
so, to ourselves.


For understanding, one needs to be 'connected', open, insecure,

vulnerable, -for the hopes may shatter any moment. The whole picture may 

change in a split-second. If we realize this reality of life, we are not afraid, we

don't expect, we don't hope, we are neither depressed, nor annoyed with life.

We are not guilty, and never ask any god a pardon.

It is simple. 

If we are willing, serious, and don't get carried-away with sentiments.

So, here rests the life.

Regards,

-vinay.

The Trinity,
God, man and the Nature,
The axis around Which revolves,
-The Whole,
''सर्वं'' , 
Functions in 'Time and Space',
In the perception of the man /the child.
And Beyond this 'Time and Space' also,
-Ever and eternally.
Innumerable relative 'Times and Spaces',
Swing into action at the Father's gaze,
-touches the son /child /man.
And an infinity of 'Creations' keeps on,
-evolving and dissolving eternally.
The Father's gaze,
''... ... ... तदैक्षत स तपो S तप्यत इत्यादि 
वाक्यै: तपसा जगत - निष्पत्तौ सिद्धायाम् 
तस्यैव सर्वनिमित्तकारणत्वं प्रतिपादितं भवति ॥'' 
The Father's Gaze,
finds the son/child/man,
And through 'him',
Reverts to 'HIMSELF'.
And the apparent duality of the Father and the son,
The apparent trinity of,
- the God, the man and the Nature,
Stands dissolved.
Divinity Reigns in,
सत्यमेव जयते .
Truth Abides.
Truth Abides.
