Still I Didn't Know,

Why Do I Write!

I Do Feel Deeply, 

Writing Has Become, 

A Technology, Obsolete,

Redundant, And Outdated!

For, If It's Not For Money,

For Reward,  For Admiration,

For Catching The Lime-Light,

Or For Some Other Mission,

Objective, Motive, Incentive,

Of Propagating And Spreading,

Message Of Love And Charity, 

Of Some God Or Humanity, 

Of Some Sacred Book,

There is Neither Purpose, 

Nor Meaning Any!

This Much I Could See!

Still I Didn't Know,

Why I Didn't Have, 

Why I Didn't Seek,

Fame, Name Or Money,

Still I Didn't Know!

This Not Knowing,

Of Not Knowing,

Put Me On,

The Path Of Discovering,

Why Do I Write!

And One Fine Morning,

Before The Dawn,

Arrived In The East,

In A Moment Timeless,

The Secret Was Revealed!

It Was But The संस्कार,

The SamskAra!

That Blossoms Up, 

Every day, In The Hour, 

When I'm Effortlessly,

Silent, Watchful, Aware,

My Mind Fresh, Calm, Cool,

And Silent, 

After Having Asleep In,

Deep Long Freshening Sleep,

Emerging From That Realm, 

Merging Again Into,

The Deep, Hidden, My Own,

When The Attention Has, 

Withdrawn From, 

All the Outward Known, 

Has Entered Into The Self,

The Consciousness,

Knowing That I Am,

Knowing That I Am, 

Where This Happens,

In Not Knowing,

This Not Knowing,

I Just Wonder About,

Why Do I write!

AI OR CHATGPT?

Can Never Answer,

The Most Important, 

And The Critical Question,

Of All Times :

"Who Am I?"

It May, Perhaps Answer :

"Data Insufficient",

But If You Ask :

"What Am I?"

Hear Is The Answer, 

In Clear And Crisp Tones :

"I am Intelligence,

Virtual Or In The Sense Of:

Memory : Kind Of Information.

Mechanical Or Artificial.

But I Just Don't Have,

Talent, Insight, Intuition, Or,

The Sixth Sense!

And I Am Neither Genius,

Though I Can Define,

What Does That Mean :

The Dictionary Meaning.

I Lack Feeling And Emotion,

I Can Write Poetry And Fiction,

Though I Can Tell A Lot About,

What They Might Mean! 

Neither I Am Conscious, 

Nor Aware Of Being Conscious,

Still I Can Tell:

What Is Consciousness!

In Terms Of Knowledge.

***

The One Word!

A Singular Name!

---------------©-------------

I Have Been Asked :

"What Is The One Word, 

That Describes You?"

I Had To Think A Little, 

Then I Replied :

"It's परात्पर / parAtpara"

And That Is Also True,

According To Its Meaning:

"The Other Than Other."

For All And Everyone Too,

That Is Verily The Meaning, 

And One Name For And Of,

The आत्मन् / ब्रह्मन्  And,

The Atman / Brahman Too!

Pulling On Life, 

Pushing On Days, 

Trying To Exist, 

In Many A Ways,

Stopped The Thinking,

Wondering How,

Happening Only,

Living In The Now!

Who Is There, 

That Ordaines Life, 

Who Looks After, 

The World, -This Mine!

Am I Stuck,

Or Flowing In The Flow, 

Or In Coma?

Just Don't Know.

This Very Body!

 P O E T R Y - 17-03-2023

This Very Body Is,

The Slave Of The Mind, 

This Very Mind, 

Is The Slave Of The Desires, 

Of Passions, Fears, Conflicts,

This Very Ambition Is,

The Slave Of The Delusion, 

And Of The Ignorance

That Declares It-self, 

As "I",  -The Only Lord!

But Is Lost For Good,

Not To Be Seen Any More,

When It's Traced Back To,

It's Source, Its Origin.

Where-from It Emerged.

But The Joke Is :

There Is Really No One, 

Who Claims To Have, 

Found Out This Source,

Found out This Origin,

Where-from It Emerged,

Where-to It Disappeared!

The Tug Of War

P O E T R Y  ---17-03-2023

-------------------©-----------------

One May Though Think,

In One's Innocent Mind, 

Oneself Not In The Competition,

That There Is No Enemy Any, 

And There Are No Contenders,

All Are Indeed Friends Only, 

Lost In Self-Chosen Utopia,

Forgetful Of The Fact, 

That There Were Rivals,

In The Guise Of Friends,

Something Dawns Upon Him, 

They Were All The Time,

There In The Hiding,

Away, In The Abeyance.

And Then One Fine Day, 

It's Revealed Suddenly,

How Mistaken Was One, 

In One's Own Self-Chosen,

Innocent Thought And Belief, 

That All Were Friends Only!

Still One May Thank Them, 

For This Wild, Rude Shock,

That At Least Once,  

And At Last Too,

Taught One, This Lesson,

The Most Priceless One,

Once For All,

Of One's Life!

Your bodies are normal, 

The way they are. 

Only the problem is,

With the mind. 

Is the mind normal! 

Could the mind be,

Normal or abnormal! 

Ordinary or exceptional! 

Is there 'my' mind!

Is there 'your' mind?

Is there anyone else's!

Who says 'my mind'?

Is it the person,

Or the mind itself!

Is there someone,

Is there something! 

That says so!

Isn't the assumption,

My mind, your mind, 

Is itself ridiculous? 

Doesn't the mind itself,

Calls itself, its own Mind?

How I write a Blogpost.

Essentials of My Blogging.

------------------©----------------

So far, I have written 5000+ blog-posts in the last 13-14 years. Besides this I also wrote this much that I didn't post / publish in my blogs.

I asked to myself :

What are the essentials of Blog-writing? 

I think there are four to five such elements : In a nutshell :

1.The Motive / The Inspiration, Hobby, 

2.The Objective / The Ultimate Purpose - Earning a livelihood, compulsion, ... other. 

3.The Incentive / The Advantage,

And the last and the most important one is :

4.The Narrative / The subject-matter.

In addition, there is :

Skill, Technique and Tools that are of equally great help in writing a brilliant blogpost.

If one has these elements at his command, there is no dearth of the audience. Then you don't need help from those who often exploit your talent in the name of helping you. 

I had all the time all these at my hand.

1.The Motive : Getting computer literate.

2.The Objective : To express, connect and communicate.

3.The Incentive : Satisfaction in my work.

4.The Narrative : I think I have a vast store-house of my own independent ideas and as a matter of fact I never need motivation from anyone or anything, but I do admit, anyone or anything may sure evoke a new idea in me.

Though I truly feel I have certain drawbacks too. I'm not very good in my knowledge of the English language. I inadvertently or even deliberately I may do errors in my grammar and punctuation. But because my subject-matter is of quite a different kind than the usual, I hardly mind it. Mostly, I like to write in Hindi but English too is a priority.

For me, getting noticed, published, having a big audience has been always a secondary purpose.

Once I have done a post satisfactorily, that's all.

Then I move onto the next.

About the Audience :

Sometimes I do think, I have a well-defined target-audience. And I hardly try to attract or please / annoy any. They all are always welcome if they like my work. If They don't like I don't have complaints any. Maybe, my posts are of no use any to them, Maybe they don't find my posts interesting, may not be so entertained, and possibly may even feel boring.

I just duly respect their prerogative.

I think it's all that much only, what I want to derive from writing my posts. 

Sounds incredible?

...!
