Read it once,

[Guest guest]

Read it once,

or, read it ...twice,

or again and ...again,

....but read it with your ...heart,

not with your brain.

 

 

Don't break it into the world,

don't deduce it into the logic,

it is not for comprehension,

there are no multiple questions.

 

 

Fragrance of the roses,

you smelt ...and it is ...got,

no analysis necessary,

neither is ...after-thought.

 

 

Sound of the cuckoo,

the sounds ...is the meaning,

....the meaning is not hidden.

Just in its hearing,

the meaning is given.

 

 

Life is not a journey,

....to reach somewhere,

life itself is the purpose,

life itself is the meaning,

the heart can get it,

....but the brain might need, ...some cleaning.

 

 

There are two kind of learning,

one is remembering, memorizing,

meaning and comprehension,

other is instantaneous,

....like touching an iron ...hot,

touch it ...and it is got.

 

 

There are two instruments,

one learns linearly, ...in sequence.

other learns in leaps,

parallel, ....in an instance.

 

 

When `I' speaks,

the `I' listens,

...but, when I speaks,

the I should listen,

use I for an `I' and you will miss,

use `I' for an I and ...it will dismiss.

 

 

Because, for one to exist,

the other is ...not,

When I is, the `I' is gone.

 

 

Life is not that ...complex,

apply some logic,

and it doesn't even exists,

the meaning gets lost,

....only the matter persists.

 

 

Breaking a rose into petals,

and, petals into juice,

water, color and scent,

....is all you have got,

and, in all its dissections,

the beauty is lost.

 

 

Analyze a kiss.

transfer of saliva ...is that what it is,

Kiss is got,

....the moment it is got,

do an analysis,

....and, you will only miss.

 

 

Enlightenment is,

.... not sitting on a mountain,

or hiding in a cave,

not roaming in ...a jungle,

or walking on enclave,

not just in mountains or valleys,

....on shinning streets, or in dark alleys,

it is here and now,

it is ...and, there is no question of how.

 

 

Life living without a want,

....not waiting for a grant,

not crushed by a desire,

not immersed in despair,

not absorbed in compare,

life living ...itself,

without greed, ...without fear.

 

 

 

Because, life is,

....on the surface, in the depth,

in the ego, in the self,

yet one is real, ...and the other is fake,

but real or fake ...life is,

it is one that is,

and, it is one that creates ...the fake,

.....for its own sake.

 

 

In its self-created fake, the life ...gets lost,

yet, it creates, creates and creates ...even when it has whole lot,

because, the seed is,

....what more, what else ...why not.

 

 

It creates the good,

and the bad, ...and ugly,

it creates the songs, it spreads the war,

it builds the bridges, and it explodes the bomb,

.....and, why not?

It just wanted to do ...something, ...anything.

 

 

Not-doing and the life is ...got.

Ok with ...'nothing',

....and the life is ...got.

Some call it foolish, some call it smart,

some call it wrong, some call it right,

some accept reality ...as it is,

others keep going on ...with the fight.

 

 

 

They wanted to be someone, somebody ...something,

and, yes ....they can,

some cheated others and became a landlord,

some wanted to be a warrior ...thus pulled a sword.

 

 

Yet, all doing was a tension,

all becoming was depression,

not a moment of happiness,

not a moment of life,

.....and all this desperation.

 

 

Yes, they said ...get a life.

 

....and, a moment of not-doing and the life is ...got.

because, in reality, ...it was not really lost,

problem was ...just in the head,

just on the surface.

....but the life was so consumed,

that it felt like ...a furnace.

 

 

Yet doing happens,

because life is ...a motion,

the poetry and the ...potion,

the grass grows, the roses bloom,

the sun rises and there is dhoop (morning sun rays).

 

 

Life happens after desire stops,

....self appears after ego drops,

the God appears after the illusion pops,

doing happens after the doer drops.

 

 

Yes, read it once,

or again and ...again, ...

.....
