“That is an impressive string of degrees. How many years have you spent at the univ?” “Many. Learning fascinates me. If there is another life, I would like to be reborn here in the same campus.” “Are you a professor here?” “Not yet.

Prompt In the immensity of consciousness, a light appears — a tiny point which moves rapidly and traces shapes, thoughts, and feelings, like a pen writing on paper. And the ink which leaves a trace is memory. You are that tiny point and by your movement the world is ever re-created. Sri Nisargadatta, I Am … Continue reading Eternal Source

SHOOTING THE BREEZE
Who was it
Installed the installer?
And as for the uninstaller;
Who will uninstall the uninstaller?
Look here, there and everywhere.

Sri Nisargadatta, I Am That
Alas!
It eludes me
the immensity of consciousness
again and again
could have
lead me
to a higher plane
Alas!
I am
where I was
when I was born
yearning for my mother’s embrace
now at the end of my journey
yearning for my mother’s embrace
my existence
in between
is a cipher

तुम कर रहे थे मुर्रव्व्त
हम सोच बैठे मुहब्बत
गलती किसकी है।१।
सोचते हैं भूल जाएँ तुम्हें
पर इस दिल के आगे
चलती किसकी है।२।
सो गया है जहाँ सारा
तेरी यादों में तन्हा रात
जलती किसकी है।३।
ढून्ढ लेते मीत नया पर
दुनिया में सूरत तुझसे
मिलती किसकी है।४।
मायूसी के आलम में
दिल में उम्मीद अमित
पलती किसकी है।५।

I changed the day I realized - people ensnared in a web are not struggling to come out but rule from within - people caught in whirlpools are not struggling to come out but pull others in - power intoxicates suspends fair judgement but creates hollows within - people who bat for you first dissolve … Continue reading I changed
