Experiences

Experience is that which teaches us something 

and gives us an understanding that helps in 

being more mature. That means the events

which touch us deep down to our soul and

give us an opportunity to improve our life

in whatever little way is the experience.

How to reach the mental state of experience ? 

Spirituality takes us to a state that allows

us to experience every moment in our life.

This state of experiencing every moment of 

our life helps us to mature. This attaining maturity is the true meaning of being spiritual.

When we become an observer to the moment by

moment happenings of our life the state

of realization is achieved. This is Buddhahood.

When we are aware of everything happening to

ourselves and the surrounding environment we

become bodhisattavas.

  

Hi everyone

I am writing after a long long time.

Happy Birthday to Vatsala.

PERSEVERANCE

PERSEVERANCE
need for success in all areas of life

'Be steadfast in your effort
to achieve the goal set'
goes a phrase well known
which is authenticated by
a famous legend.

A king defeated in war
took inspiration from an ant
that was trying to climb a wall
falling again and again, king watched
every time it started afresh
with the same undaunted spirit
to climb the wall
until it finally conquered.

The king was marvelling at
the great perseverance the tiny creature
was endowed with by the nature
it consoled nay inspired the king
to continue his fight until the win.

CHERISHED DREAM

Cherished Dream

With every new dawn
when horizon is glazed
with a new rising sun
my cherished dream glows.

Many years have passed
still i could not achieve it
nevertheless it is not shattered
rather it flourishes with time
for introspection nourishes it
and experience makes it
more fascinating and enchanting.

Now i enjoy my life along with it
through the myriad vistas
my cherished dream has opened to me.

REMINISCENCES OF GOA

REMINISCENCES OF GOA


Horizon is glazed
with the gold like hue.
Receptive water of the sea
is no less a pirator
for it simulates
the hue from the sun.
Waves of the sea
osculate thy feet
as if they are expressing
a gratitude to thee.


Goa revisited in thoughts by Manohar

Come Home

COME HOME


Come home; come home
For you are destined
to rule yourself first.
How foolish, you succumb to
temporal enjoyment leading you to
overwhelming sorrow and agony.

come home; come home
Every time you go through
the same trauma within you
yet you visualize nothing beyond
for fear and pseudo-enjoyment
keeps you entangled in the torment.

Come home; come home
Fire, fire, see the magnificent bonfire
that keeps burning eternally
enlightening those who descry it
your delusion will run away
while encountered with
infinite fire of knowledge.

Come home: come home
your joy will know no bounds
chariot of perennial bliss will take you
into the world of all happiness
where sorrow is not known
fragrance of enjoyment
overpowers everything.
Come home: come home

Eternal Search

Search For Rendezvous


Once again
I want to be
what I am eternally
but I cannot reach by efforts
for that is 'One'
and no individual 'I'
which is other than 'That'
can ever enter the 'kingdom'.

'I' is not pure consciousness
for only pure is allowed
to become one with 'That'
that is 'One'.

Once again
I want to be pure
for realising oneness with 'That'.
But how?
mere living with simplicity ?

No, Purity is not a physical thing.
Purity means
dropping of all desires,
not to interfere with nature,
not to have a fighting instinct,
not analysing everything in one's favour.

Purity means
knowing the fact as it is,
without pride and prejudice.

If we look closely
our knowing is through hopes & amp; desires,
through ego and for enhancing ego
how can we purify ourselves ?
Even a grain of desire
either mundane or spiritual
contaminates the purity.

When you are nature itself
how can you be against it ?
everything that is against nature
is not truth,that is false,
your false creation out of ignorance.

Once again
I want to be
what I am eternally
I am caught-up in
the false creation of ignorance,
my identification with body and mind
is so intense
that it stops me to realize
that I am beyond it
my roots are beyond it
but again that is not 'I'
it is pure consciousness that is 'One'.

Once again
I will be
what I am eternally
but then 'I' in me will dissipate.

i will not be the same
the pure consciousness
will take over the kingdom of 'I'.

In fact, i am
what i was eternally
but unaware of it.
