Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 POETIC REFLECTIONS DURING THE 2007 HOLIDAY SEASON Christmas Eve Dr. Tushar K. Ray www.centralyoga.org Behold our all-loving silent Mother Earth At the dawn of this brilliant Xmas Eve Awakened in Christ consciousness In the playful heart of all young ones Bubbling out of their youthful soul With a vision of looming Santa Claus In spontaneous endless joy! From the blissful boundless sky Way up high! Flowing down ceaselessly across! --------------------------- December 24 Christmas Day The legendary Santa lives in all parent’s heart Taking care of children since they are born And in the image of Santa as epithet of love Kids get their pet toys on each Christmas season So people breathe love on every Christmas time Since the thought of giving saturates the air And no matter how closed a heart could have been Gets unlocked by love by its miraculous care Christmas arrived again with a spirit of giving In all valley homes amid adorning trees Selected fondly by the parent-kids alike To renew their fun during this Year-end game Selfless love as essence of man dwells in each heart Where parent-child-duet is the traditional mold While Jesus in the cross revealed love as his end Reality Being a part of this totality we must do our own part December 25, 2007 On New Year Eve Hey, what’s so new about the upcoming New Year? Only returning of the same seasons over again One after another until another New Year Thus run the cycles of seasons forever Renewing everything in Nature Replacing the old patterns with the new ones Creating beauty and diversity all at once And that is the lesson Nature wants us to learn Nature’s beauty rests in the unity in diversity Where diversity is the noticeable key Making new life, new twigs and new flowers From time immemorial, year after year Looking closely similar but hardly ever identical Like us, the humanity, everyone is different Even though we are outwardly similar But that is the key to the beauty in Nature! Our aim in this yearend should be to travel within To know own true Self in the Years ahead While realizing inward those outer natures around And find at last our own common ground That doesn’t change ever through out our life And that is our mystical eternal Self, indeed Knowing this man becomes fearless ever since So realization of self should be our motto in this eve ----------------------------- December 29, 2007 On New Year’s Resolution It is pointless to wait for a brand-new year To discipline own unruly mind if that’s ones goal Since habit mind perpetuates by its own odd nature So deferring for another time just defeats a soul A New Year opens up many newer possibilities To avail such things one must be mentally ready By removing wrong thoughts coming on the way Since bad habits act often by limiting own abilities One must be aware of the power of the soul That is transcendental and deathless by nature Knowing this one becomes fearless in action And pursue things steadily until reaching the goal So New Year resolution must be to know oneself Then all else will be solved along the process That involves dedicated yoga to steady own mind And clarify it carefully for knowing Spirit Self Permanent happiness can be earned only this way Anything short of that would bring transient fun So the duty of a human is to know his Spirit Self Raising own life above any earthly pleasure and pain ------------------------------- December 30, 2007 HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!
