THE THREE DOORS OF LIBERATION


Oh lost and lonely soul; wandering the mind’s deluded maze  

Don’t you ever want to break free?

Do you try to; but fall back

Fall back into the pit of carnal perseveration !

Don’t your self crafted keys of stealth and passion

Lead not to eternal liberation?

Listen then thou ; oh lost soul; to this ancient wisdom

Let the music of love play, and the bell of reason ring

As you step towards the three doors of liberation



The first door to liberation; Emptiness

Step in if you please  

Where everything is connected; everything’s a blend

Everything is composite; and it all comes to end

Nothing is inherent; and no object has essence

Where ego is delusional, and self, a mere pretence

 Thus is the eternal door of Emptiness

The first door to liberation



The second door to liberation; Signlessness

Step in if you please
 
Formless is the object; but to reality it’s blind  

Boundaries and borders, drawn up by the viewing mind

For, there is no separate existence

And there is no separate entity

Words and labels seem to point ;  but the truth is devoid of self identity

Thus is the eternal door of  signlessness

The second  door to liberation



The third door to liberation ; aimlessness
  
Walk in if you please

There is no purpose ; other that the present moment

No craving, no longing, no anxiety to torment

No wishing , no compulsion ; no pressure to do

Live the moment, and feel its true

Thus is the eternal door of aimlessness

The third door to liberation



Oh lost and lonely soul of the mind

Step through the three doors of liberation

With keys of reason and  eyes of compassion

With emptiness, signlessness and aimlessness

Wake up! Wake up to the awakened one !

KNOWING YOU


Does the bud ever know,  it is the flower that blossoms!



Does the stream ever know, it’s the vast and mighty sea!



Does the cloud ever know,  it's the tumbling drops of  falling rain!



Does the seed ever know,  it’s the  vibrant  forest!



Oh master of my sentience! Watcher of the yet undone!



How can this empty soul of mine; ever know you !






LOOK AT ME


Oh, beloved love of mine; look at me!


I’m still so lost, in the beauty of your intoxicating eyes!


Look at me again; and save my sinking soul


Let me feel the embracing warmth of your everlasting love again


You looked at me once, and captured my heart long time ago


 But now, how long can I wander aimlessly without you?


My love, Come back and see the miserable mess that’s me


Oh love of my life!


When will you come back to take me?

WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE


My breath has ceased and my tireless heart has skipped its eternal beat


My earthly job is done, and my empty soul is finally free


Where do I go from here now?


From nothingness I came and in emptiness I was


Into the stream of nothingness, will I not flow?


With Ideas of self identity, and thoughts of eternity


Will they not melt away with the rotting flesh?


As form and feature can no longer cling in impunity


As the mind and matter, merge to their final unity


Tell me dear life; where do I go from here now?

LOVE SAID TO ME


On a day the mind is calm and clear; as calm and clear as the pristine summer skies

The glowing  sunshine of happiness said to me; Come join me for eternity


The receding clouds of sadness said to me; I must let you go


The calm ocean of compassion said to me: I am there with you


The limitless universe of love said to me.; I am nothing but you


But yet the deluded mirage of my ego pleads to me; don’t ever let me go


Tell me dear soul; what should I do?

THE NAIL ON THE CROSS


Oh rusty nail on the cross; the one that bore his heavenly weight


Did you ever know what you have done?


Did you ever wonder why it was you?


You were mined and smelted, and molded for him


Yet when the day came, there was none closer to his flesh than you!

                                                                                         
Did you not still, cling to the worldly wood of the cross; as he writhed in pain!


Did you not still, rip his loving wrist, as he bled and prayed for the world in vain!


Yet he forgave you, as he forgave the rest of the world


And when he has transcended from this worldly cross to the heavens above


Stained in his holy blood; why do you still rust away!!

LIVING HELL


Flames raging in the wanton heart 


But that is only, just the  start 


A pounding chest and  an exploding brain


Blown out  marrow, pulsating  in every vein 


Molten madness drowning the mind 


Sword-ed words unsheathe, as the teeth  grind 


Glaring eyes ;  killing more than  silence 


As actions feed the whirlwind of violence 


Oh how miserable is existence!


In this living hell of Anger !

BEAUTY RIDING THE ARROW OF TIME

Oh beauty riding the arrow of time 

Is  all your vanity,  worth more than a dime ? 

You smile so sneeringly today 

 But who will you  sneer  at,  on that very day 

The arrow strikes its darkest target 

The unmissable target, of decay and death 

Of  sickness , misery and ill health 

Doesn't all this beauty,  just whiter away ? 

Luck may save you,  but not forever 

You can't even evade it,  by being clever 

Wrinkles and freckles will still greet your face 

As the arrow proceeds in its unheeded pace 

Isn't all  beauty but skin deep 

When maggots feast on the rest 

Oh beauty riding the arrow of time 

Forget not of your destination!

GIFT OF LIFE

As you awaken today  


The music of life is still playing 


Every breathe you breathe,  is but a gift


A gift of life and consciousness 


As you gently; gently open your eyes 


See the world; the world full of  resplendent beauty


Feel the everlasting love; as it sustains the evanescent world 


Taste the nectar of life; as it blossoms all around you


As you awaken today 


Be grateful ; grateful for the gift of life!

A NEW DAY, A NEW LIFE AND THE WONDER OF YOU


A new day! A new beginning! 


A new life, and  new hope 


A life, filled with the wonder of you!


Oh! The wonder of you!! 


In the loving warmth of the soothing sunshine 


In the fragrance of the blossoms in the breeze 


In the heavenly taste of nectar to the bees 


In the tender touch of dew drops on the leaves


In the enchanting tunes of the windy waves on the seas


In the comforting clouds of love embracing the winter sky  


A new day! A new beginning! A new life! 


Oh!  The wonder of  you!
