Choose

If it's time

To make a choice

Then it better be so

Let it hurt

Let it fly

Let it be wise

Need not be "nice"

On one hand is the ocean of illusion

It shows me faces and clothes

Pretty on the outside

But can't understand what's inside them

I get carried away into the void

Then in the mire of filth

I feel suffocated

On the other hand I see my Mother

Her arms outstretched towards me

Waiting to hold me close to Her Heart

Beaming with joy are Her eyes

Hoping to see Her reflection in Me

I look at Her with a heavy heart

Pray to forgive my trespasses

My Mother smiles and hugs me

With all Her Compassion

She soothes every cell in me

Nourishes every bit of me 

Showers Divine joy on my Sahasrara

Tells me all about the right path

Asks me to hold her Saree tightly

I hold on to Her with all my might

I promise her today that I'll never again

Go away into the dark seeking nothingness

I will never again deviate from Sushumna

My Mother means the world to me

She gave up everything for me

She did everything to give me joy

I will be that Ray of Hope

She named me after

I will cherish the enlightenment

She bestowed upon me

I promise I'll enlighten many more

Who are in the dark

I will thank Her by becoming the spirit

On your journey..

From what you are to what you want to be

From what you have to what you want to give

From what you see to what you want to share

From what you speak to what you want to hear

May the holy hands hold you gently

As you embark on this journey

Uncertain, tiresome as it might appear

Always remember, the angels are all here

To protect, nourish and soothe you

As you take each step towards the truth

As you choose the eternal over illusion!

I am Water

I am water,

I take the shape of the container you put me in.

I will always be sweet to you,

No matter the tears I shed because of you.

I will always cleanse and sooth you,

No matter how much pain you put me through .

I will always quench your thirst,

Whenever you need me first.

But how can I serve you?

When you do not recognize my significance.

I only know to give,

And always want you to live.

So, let me live for you my dear Child,

And give you the treasure you always wanted to find!

Too tiny

So small is my heart to contain your love

Too tiny is my brain to understand your ways

So little are my tears to thank your grace

Too less are my fingers to count your shower of blessings

How shall I thank you mother

For every second that you are with me

For every minute that you protect me

For every hour that you guide me

How shall I tell you Mother that

You are all that I see

You are all that I hear

You are all that I desire

I know not what the beginning is

Nor do I know what the end is

I know not what the next step is

Of this journey you set me upon

All I know is that

You are the One

You are the Love

You are the Joy

It is you I always seek

It is you I always dwell upon

It is you I want to become

One with and Disappear!!

Hold my little hand O beloved Mother!

Let it not fall into the hell of ignorance

Or tread the path of dreadful arrogance

Just Hug me Mother and keep me with you, Forever and Ever!!

The Truth in me!

I see that I do what I ought not
I see I make mistakes

My inner voice says not to
By then its all over

The acerbic words are said
which can never be taken back

A very big heart might forgive me
The scars will however remain a testimony

When patience is tested to its best
And it loses faith in my sincerity

The hands that held me abandon
And I find my ‘self’ meaningless

It is a divine connection that keeps me alive
This truth prevails, I realize it or not

In quest of that eternal joy
I look into my ‘self’ once again

I bid goodbye to my ego
And humble down to the truth in me!

Journey in search of The answer

Lost in the darkness

Of ignorance and pain

Tired of living

In a self-pity mode

I went into solitude

Away from people

Into a world of strangers

Lately did I realize

That strangers of today

Are the friends of tomorrow

And the cycle continues

With phases of joy 

And depths of sorrow

It is all the same - everywhere

Pondering on the pattern

Of life and death

I asked for answers 

To questions I could not frame

There had to be an answer

An ultimate one - a Panacea

And then I knew truly there is...

Yes, there is an answer

To every question 

And every doubt

To every pain 

And even every joy

Yes, I thought , if pain needs an answer

Then why not Joy?

If suffering is a burden put on me

Then who is bestowing the Joy too?

I do not ask questions as to why am I happy

But why do I seek reasons when I am sad?

Why do I forget to count my many blessings

In the face of just one appalling moment

Why do I seek, in the first place?

Not long before I was aware of it

A hand held me

With love and care

A light shone in my heart

And I was engulfed in Joy

I knew not who it was

But I knew my answers were here

I looked up

Into Her eyes

With all Her love

She hugged and kissed me

Bestowed such peace in my heart

That I was Lost in an Ocean of Joy

Not knowing if I was a drop or a sea...

Yes, it is just one answer

The Truth about Everything

It was always inside me

I knew not what I was

I knew not that I am the answer

I knew not that 
"All I need is my Mother's Lotus feet!"
