Best Self Realization Poems
Being in the NOW
This is a simple secret of happiness. It is so simple, that one may wonder, “How something like ‘Being in the NOW’ can guarantee eternal happiness?” But it can. It is a sure way of living with peace and joy.
It’s a big challenge
While it seems so simple, being in the NOW is a big challenge. We are slaves of our mind and we rarely achieve this state of being in the NOW. The fault is not ours. The fault is that of our mind. Before we know it, it slips into a thought of the past. Gone, our NOW is kidnapped! By the time we catch the kidnapper, the mind, and bring it to the table, it gently jumps into the future. It hijacks our life to a new destination. Yes, it holds us to ransom, and the biggest problem – we don’t even know it. It is a big challenge to be in the NOW. But if we can, we can be assured of peace and happiness.
The NOW is peaceful and blissful
Just for now, focus on this moment. Breathe some fresh air, as you count your blessings. Just look through your beautiful eyes and enjoy the nature you see. Stop and hear some amazing music. Don’t think. Stop your mind from drifting away. Just be in the NOW and do what you love to do. Maybe it is making love, but don’t let your mind think of how your heart broke when you made love last year.
Being in the NOW
Just enjoy the present moment. If you prefer, just sink your teeth into your favourite fruit and enjoy the moment. For you, it may be just playing the piano. Whatever makes your moment blissful, just for now, do that. You will find so much joy and peace.
Why lose this moment?
When the NOW can be so beautiful, why lose it? It is sad that we don’t even realize that we are losing moments, moment by moment. The NOW is ours, but somebody robs it and the NOW is gone. We let our NOW get destroyed. Not just that, instead of being happy and peaceful in the NOW, we permit our NOW to be filled with misery and sorrow. What a shame! We must resolve not to lose this moment. This moment belongs to us, it is ours. It is our biggest treasure. It is this moment and the next and the next that actually constructs our life. Moments create days, days create weeks, weeks create months, months create years and all of these create our life. If we lose the moment, we lose life, a life that was meant to be peaceful and joyous.
true acceptance lies
within the realm of thyself
just be who you are
Sometimes you gotta
close your eyes to see
the real truth hidden
inside you ....
When different folks
Say the same thing about you,
Consider closely...
Stop! Listen to your heartbeat.
Concentrate on every thump as it slowly evaporates
into the inner tissue of your soul.
Silence manifests laterally,
drowning your body, leaving you with sharpened senses.
Your limbs slowly detach from your fragile body
creating paranormal stratospheres in the surrounding cosmos.
All matter surrounding you dissolves until all turns to
black shadow.
Solitude takes you and you are an irrelevant whisper
within infinity. You gain consciousness,
you are in a pool of your most distant memories.
You come to the realize that you never knew
yourself, you were never even close.
Suddenly you feel more in tune than ever.
You are reborn from the womb of your own heat
confident that you aren’t, you never were, and you never will be.
I sat on the couch on a dull afternoon in deep thought,
The meaning of my life I genuinely sought.
As time hastily passed by,
I began to suspect my actions to justify.
Sadly, I never made use of my time,
My life had a very boring rhyme.
The reason my dreams were always in a fog
Was only because I was a lazy dog.
Then I decided to let go of the past,
At least I realized this pretty fast.
I searched with enthuse on how to live in zest,
But all I got was a pass in patience test.
Bothered I was about my life,
Felt like walking on the edge of a knife.
The expectation of family was at its peak,
While I was on a losing streak.
A desire to come out all guns firing
Was the reason I opted for engineering.
Life of a fighter it is inside,
Every beating you got had to be pushed aside.
As I face the mirror and see a responsible man,
I boost myself by saying “yes I can.
Arduous days will soon end,
And a winning message I will send”.
Self-Realization for Preservation
At 3 and a half I met mom number two
Only after mom number one just wouldn’t do
Nine years have passed, and I survived the abuse
Mom number one took too long to get stable
Now a 12-year-old must choose
I picked mom number two simply because she was all I knew
I’m 33 now and memories are resurfacing
And I begin to feel like the universe has cursed me
Neither of the moms are present and that’s so I can heal
Mom number one denies everything, and mom number two
said she’s sorry for how the thrashings made me feel
Intuition on an all-time high
While so much change is on the rise
Wonderment of it all leads me to the path of my destiny
Now I begin to feel the spirits around me
Who, What, When, Where and How
I’m sure this is my second awakening
The first time I was just a child
I get a journal and set forth on my journey
Archangel Raphael took the wheel this time I’m sure
Only because I was close to making the same mistakes as before
Plucking body hairs to disassociate
Going into a trans state just to hear angels conversate
Almost certain of who’s here as company
Metatron to give inspiration
And Sandalphon has reincarnated into me
Or so I believe, it must be true because
The Divine uses music as a form of
communicating
You lift me way up high
like a mountain to reach the top
then you quickly tear me down.
You caress me with love
And put me on a pedestal
then again you make me feel discourage.
You encourage me to dream
To reach for new horizons
and those dreams are shattered
when you conduct yourself afar of your ideology.
And in my ups and downs,
And every smile I give,
and in my effort to reach my dreams
……. I struggle.
I struggle to fulfill your expectations
I struggle to understand
your wants and emotions
[and in the process I lose sight of myself]
and what I want to become.
Knowing this, I open up
like a fragile rose that
Unfolds petal by petal
[and liberate the power that’s in me]
that lead me to trust and love myself
With hopes and dreams
I unfold …………
Reflected moments,
shards of glass from broken mirror
glaring reminders......
The practice of letting go
Leads to letting go
Of all things -
Let go now -
It’s all going to go, anyhow,
So let it go.
If you continue letting go,
Your mask will fall,
Revealing the original face in all,
Just remove your disguise,
It only hides the beauty inside
So let it go.
When you’ve found the secret -
Let it go -
With nowhere left to roam,
When all doubts resolve
In I don’t know,
Carry on,
Let it go.
When the found is choiceless being-
Let it go -
As metal and magnet unite as one
And you a carefree child become,
When all such wonders have been and gone,
Just carry on,
Let it go.
Am I consciousness?
If I am not the body, and I am not the mind, then what am I? Both science and spirituality have concluded that I am energy. But for me to believe that I am energy – it is not easy. How do I comprehend energy?
For me to define electricity is so difficult without the help of a gadget or instrument like a bulb. With the help of a bulb, I can easily understand what electricity is, as it flows through a filament to give light. While we understand energy that comes from electricity, it is strange that we don’t understand the energy that comes into a human body at birth and departs at death. While we are well aware of it, we have not invested time in spiritual experiments as we have on scientific ones. To explore energy in a human body, let us dwell a little on our consciousness. The energy in us is alive, but we go through phases of being conscious and unconscious.
When we are conscious, our physical body is active, just as our subtle body or mind is also active. The energy in us makes us walk, talk and move. When the body goes to sleep, we lose consciousness, but our mind is still energized. Therefore, the mind subconsciously continues its existence in dreams.
When we talk of consciousness, we seem to understand it so easily. But somehow we don’t understand it in the real sense. If you are conscious, you can listen to me, just as I can talk to you if I am conscious. We also understand that the body doesn’t forget to breathe when we sleep as our subconscious never stops. Man has not thought further. If we go a little deeper, we realize that we are the consciousness that departs at death. We are no more. Unlike at sleep, where we experience a different state of consciousness, when “I” die, the “me”– that is not the body and mind, but pure energy – leaves the body permanently. I can never regain consciousness because I am no more alive in the body.
I'm a cowboy some call me redneck, I'm a lover and a fighter, I try not to do no one wrong, I treat women like ladies, I drink whiskey and I get crazy, I still cry to sad country songs,
I'm a sucker for the highway, all roads go my way, my mom she's probably wondering where I'm off thunderin to now, me and my old beatup truck, with a small piece of luck, I can show you what it means to be free, sometimes it gets so damn lonely, the emptiness it turns into fear, I'll find a lady tonight, to hold me tight, and tell me everything will turn out just fine.
I don't care much for big cities, although women there sure are pretty, they've got Honky Tonks far and wide, give me small town city limits, where people know each other's business, I've got nothing to hide. my mom she's always preaching I need a wife in the kitchen, with kids running in and out of the door, I know I'm not ready for one woman steady, I'd leave her crying to go out with the boys, I don't know what it is inside me, that keeps me to drifting around. I've said time and again, I'm glad there's places I've never been, might be the reason I keep moving on.
I'm just a cowboy some call me redneck, I'm a lover and a fighter, I still cry to sad country songs.
Too many ups and downs in the journey
Too much sweet, bitter and honey
Far far away long way travel
Crying for peace in front of the devil
Destructed abstracted undefined destiny
Self-realizations in the middle of the journey
Multi-personalities in a tourney
Giving up and giving in convicted felony
For murdering the person in me
Painting characters to fitting in to see
Too many unanswered questions for thee
Humming happily for the sunflower-like bee
Praying for God to unlock the key
Self-realization got me on my knee.
That I am worth it and worthless
That I am hopeful and hopeless
That I am cheap and priceless.
I go round and round on my youth
Nursing my pain for pills of sooth.
I finally found out that realization is self-lose.
What is the true meaning of Yoga?
The understanding of Yoga as a physical and mental practice is widely observed by people all over the world. There are training schemes and centers for the ones who think Yoga is a solution to keep themselves healthy and fit. The asanas, the yogic positions, and formations to train the physique exist. Although, it is only but a branch of the actual lifestyle of a Yogi. Being ignorant about life’s deeper meaning and is the root of such misconception.
If only we chose to ask the right questions to find the true meaning of life, we could truly understand Yoga. Any human being can be in Yoga. All they have to do is to disconnect from the world, bhoga, and connect with the Divine Energy. Through Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Gyaana Yoga, and Dhyaana Yoga, one can realize the Truth. We are not this body that we seem to be in. We are not the mind and ego. We are the Divine Soul in reality. The World is a cosmic illusion. The union with the Divine is priceless. And Yoga, is the only path, the path to life’s ultimate goal, liberation. It is a permanent state of bliss and peace. Through meditation, taking control of the mind, body, and ego is critical in achieving everlasting bliss.
In order to douse the flames of passion, one must practice the discipline of body and mind. The sages called this Sama, Dama, Uparati, Titiksha, Shraddha, and Samadhana. We, humans, are said to be like a chariot with 5 horses. The 5 horses are the 5 senses that we are blessed with. We the Divine Soul, are the charioteer. To Discipline our life, we must take charge of the 5 senses by controlling the mind. Such discipline of the mind and body is called Sadhana. Once we gain such forbearance, faith, and fortitude, we must then develop the Desire for the Divine and Liberation. This is what the sages called Mumukshutva. If we are fortunate to become Mumukshus, then our desire for the Divine and Liberation, the realization will set us free in the path of True Yoga.
“I too thought Yoga was exercise,
Stretching my arms and thighs.
Till I realized, it was Union with God,
That Liberates us and unites us with the Lord.”

The Ultimate Goal of Life MEN- Moksha Enlightenment Nirvana
What is the Ultimate Goal of Life?
Why this misery, why this strife?
We want happiness, but don't achieve our Goal
Because we don't realize we are the Soul
In ignorance, we live and we die
We look at the sky, we pray, we cry
But why we are born, we don't and out why
Who are we, who is this “I”?
We don't go for a search and quest
And we don't put our beliefs to test
Whatever we are told, we believe the myth
We suffer because we don't know the Truth
But there were wise men, the Truth who knew
They were not many, they were just a few
They went on a quest to and the Truth
They didn't just accept, went to the bottom of the root
Moksha it was called many centuries ago
It was Liberation after death, this Truth we know
And then there would be no future birth
And we would not have to return to earth
And then came about the concept ‘Enlightenment’
Realizing the Truth, getting ful?llment
It is about not being ignorant
And knowing the Truth for our betterment
From darkness to light we must go
What is the Truth, this we must know
For if we don't, as we live and die
We will suffer in misery and cry
This life is a special gift for us
It is not just a moving bus
Which starts at birth and death is the end
Each moment is precious, to be wisely spent
If we realize the Truth, that we are the Soul
Then we have achieved our Ultimate Goal
There will be Joy, Bliss, Love, and Peace
Misery and sorrow will completely cease
