Aniruddha Pathak Poet Quatrain

World, a playground of mind

In a moment  it makes an epoch end
And brings it back from there-- what sleight of hand!
This world  it seems a playground be of mind,
This is what on thinking deep do I find.   
_________________________________
Sanskrit Translation | 31.01.2026 | mind, mischief, playground, quatrain 

Note:  Some stanzas called shlokas in Sanskrit are quatrains. Dwelling on mind again, this verse (from Mahaa Upanishad) says that this world is a playground of mind. Its fleeting nature may make a moment look like an epoch. In a moment it can bring you back from it. The transliteration is as under:  

Kalpam kshanee  karoti  antah,  
     kshanam  nayati  kalpataam |
Manah  vilaasa samsaara,   
     iti me  nishitaa  matih || Mahaa  Upanishad ||

Abdullah Alhemaidy February 4, 2026 at 1:11 PM Hello Aniruddha :-) I do not understand your text and poem. Have a nice day ~ AA Aniruddha Pathak February 9, 2026 at 2:41 AM Looking around for sympathy, He said, no one understands me. Who’s he so much upset? Who if not a poet? His pen had readers none any. Thanks for at least for trying to understand, dear Abdullah Alhemaidy. It is on meandering mind, faster than the speed of light. Regards.
