केश

बाल काल मे थे वो लंबे केश

पर अब चल रहा है अनेरा case

राम और मरा अब एक हो गए हे

शिव और कृष्ण दो नही रहे।

दोनो को साथ साथ याद करता हूं।

एक मेरा केशव है,

जो मुझे शैशव दे

मोरपंख से सजता,

हमे लावण्यता

प्रदान कर जाता।

दूजा मेरा व्योमकेश

मानो सारा भार

आसरा और वह धार

जो मिले सजाता

हमे लावण्यता

प्रदान कर जाता।

मेरे पास ना तो जटा ना मोरपंख

बस जीवित अजीवित के संग

परिभाषा मे रह, जीवन-मरण के संग

रोज अपने केश सजाते

सँवारते अपने आपको पाता हूं।

And one more poem. Double , bonus poem.

Walk into

 Wearing A Loving Kindness

Accepting the world as it is

Long hours I wait to behold my

King, His return on the earth

Inception of new beautiful life

Now, awake day & night

Touch of his, make all possible & perfect

O King of Heart, Return to thy cave.

कथक - कथनी और करनी

 कथक - कथनी और करनी 

Audio file - link

(First one and half Minute volume is bit low. Use headphone or higher the volume.)

It is been more than 6 months I am learning Kathak.

It enriches me day in and out. even though, I am not a good practitioner in terms of consistency. But I wish I can practice, do riyaaz consistently.

Kathak for me is all about telling the story, weaving your every act in the inner poise.

In the audio file ( link above), I have recorded those feelings, thoughts and much more about kathak.

જિંદગી puzzle કે ગઝલ?

જિંદગી તું puzzle છે કે ગઝલ?

તને સમજવી કઠણ કે સરલ?

ટુકડા માં હોવ કે આખી, 

તું તો રહે છે જિંદગી જ સાચી.

તને સાચવવી કેમ કરી,

એક ગાયબ ને કેટલું ઘાયલ!

જિંદગી તું puzzle છે કે ગઝલ?

તને સમજવી કઠણ કે સરલ?

ગઝલ જેમ વહેતી

Puzzle જેમ રહેતી

તારી મોજ અનેરી

હર શામ સજતી

જિંદગી તું puzzle છે કે ગઝલ?

તને સમજવી કઠણ કે સરલ?

give and take

Our view of life has become and becoming more & more transactional. We take birth, or we say who gave us birth and when we die we say someone took the life. A question to reflect what did we give at death? 

But this taking and giving, need and fulfilling the need, is it the only thing! In between life & death and death & life we only continue give and take, take and give? And this is what we train our next generations too.

We are mistaken; life is not about giving and taking. It is all about flowing. We live in a huge field of consciousness, constantly in a flux. With different layers, domains and currents we are moved all around. Where is the giving and taking in the world of flux. All is perspective, seen from one side. 

Not only cross to the other side. Can you be in the center and embrace both the side. 

today's status 16th December morning

Shine,

Everything will be fine.

If you feel like,

to cry 

Go ahead and take some pearls out

Flying thoughts have kept on fry

Mind jostle 

Works hustle

Heart bustle

Waiting for my lord

To fix the chain

Yay, you got to admit

It's a rain of grace

Freedom's chain to be fixed

Which enables the move.

One that does not binds and stop.

But one who joins 

Lower with the Higher

Front with the back

Seated in present

Carrying past and gift of future

Life cycle moves on.

O my dear

Take out the cry

Everything will be fine.

One who is your foe is also your friend.

In all this jostle hustle and bustle,

I aspire they bow to eternal friend

Residing in me and in all and in everything

Seen and unseen, parampriya

Did my tear reached to your ear?

I want to break open

But break of life's cycle 

Are not in my hand

It is yours and forever will be

Movement goes on and 

Position is also fixed

On dusty bumpy road

Enjoy the ride.

For every stride

Set your standards high

Invisible chain has choked

The voice on both the side.

Afraid of voicing out

And danger you see.

Yet , speak up

Let whatever needs to come up 

Flow and cry out

And not inside.

How long you will play

Game in your head alone

Let pour it out

And see where pawn, minister and queen have taken a position or possession

Do be possessed by your own 

Passion and preferences.

Offer it in fire and may cry come out.

Offer it in fire and may pure washes away.

Offer it in fire, burning in the cave of the heart.

Seat near and feel relax. Remove the coldness 

And not get heat up.

In the balance , thy second nature

Grand things are reached.

This are the way to balance the life cycle

And move on.

You might not feel happy and ask everything 

Right now.

But there are things to arrange and pack.

So you can be surprised at any time

And joy of unpacking bewilders you many time.

Hold the patience and persevere

Consistency is not there 

Your flip flop logic will say

Give another reason and prove the fallacy

Bold you need to be

Told once upon a time

And do not repeat

Flip flop are for those who are flat and

Like to float

We are the diver and diverse,

Lover and beloved, one at same time.

Perplexed , by the parallel sight

At an angle which can be called right

You will find left and right.

But what i am cutting

From where i am crying

Is at the center.

So cycle of life can love on.

Move on. Love on. O. O .o 

Move on. Love on. O.o.

Move on. Love on. O. O .o

In you come and out you go. O. O. O

When did I notice that you visit 

Neigh, you forever there. 

In you are and out you are

Win you are and loss you are

Speech you are and long silence you are

Action you are and inaction you are

Life you are and death you are

O. O. O.o

Still all this will remain in backyard

After taking a step 

Don't take out your stick of yard.

Just go on singing

Just move on 

Dance on the eternal tune

Whatever is fume, 

Convert that into a bloom

Rhyme or not

Just move on, love on...

It seems mind can go on and on

Make the words sounds so dumb

Give rest to your thumb.

I am Freedom

Universe arranges event one after the other

Even if it seems imperfect to human eyes

They carry perfection at its best.

Once you taste 

Leave the rest, and

You want to arrest.

That's the mistake 

My dear friend.

Just let it flow

It keep coming back again & again.

There is nothing to gain,

Loss is temporary

And so does riches, a grain

In front of the universe eyes.

I don't know from where, this words come?

It just that I keep mind open and let the grace flow

Let love beat

Let power bleed

Let light sweat

And just relax

In such moment

Of interconnectedness

You see and feel

And in next , if you try

To define or express

It will defy you.

How can you have something

When you are that.

In those moments of binding and abiding

Experience visits and leaves insight behind.

To put in lines , I make an attempt

Here I share two ways lines unite

A poem and a mandala.
