Our Natural State

"free from conditioned belief no agenda on our shelf vibrant as the light of Self life flows on all by itself” - Unseeking Seeker All I wish is to be my genuine self Free of all agenda, unshackled and free, And flowing like a winding river Over shoals, crags and boulders, Carving its slithering way to the destination, Until it merges with the mighty ocean. There’s so much freedom in my roaming. I don’t have to put on appearances, Or don a mask, but be original No agenda to follow, no canons to obey I can live listening to the gentle dictates of my soul Guided by the inner light burning in me Glowing like a lamp in the night With the oil, poured to feed on. Retain my natural state without embellishments Experience the unadulterated joy of being me Renewing now and then, leaving aside Old conformities like the sloughed skin of a snake. I don’t have any deadlines to meet. Like a square peg in a round hole, I don’t have to struggle to fit in, But accepting myself as I am. I want to travel light, never letting the weight, Of the world hang heavy on my shoulders. I don’t desire for any laurels or badges I don’t wish to fall victim to the numbing Or dumbing cravings for power, wealth or fame Never allow any hankering that plagues the soul And muddle the mind with a desire to see my name Placed in the list of victors of the world. All I wish is to build bridges between man and man Speak the language that connects one to the other See everything as God’s gift and thank Him for it. Love, laugh, live and let live, cherishing myself and others!
