“The aforesaid five objects, which are the negative attributes of the five electricities, being combined produce the idea of gross matter in its five forms: Ki, solids; Ap, liquids; Tejas, fire; Marut, gaseous substances; and Akasa, ether.
These five forms of gross matter and aforesaid fifteen attributes, together with Manas, Mind, sense consciousness; Buddhi, discriminative Intelligence; Chitta, the Heart or power of feeling; and Ahamkara, the Ego, constitute the twenty-four basic principles of creation.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
In the realm of heaven, our eye is single
but with no adversities to overcome,
so the one becomes two and then they jingle
propelled by the power of the cosmic hum
and in the five elements they commingle,
ego distanced from heart, though soul is welcome.
Poised thus in subject-object relationship,
we discover God when love is our flagship.

“The Atom under the influence of Chit (universal knowledge) forms the Chitta or the calm state of mind, which when spiritualized is called Buddhi, Intelligence. Its opposite is Manas, Mind, in which lives the Jiva: the self with Ahamkara, Ego, the idea of separate existence.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
Mistaken that we are this body-mind,
we then seek to enhance its well-being,
caring not to become divine aligned,
delusion that prevents us from seeing.
Dwelling in darkness we remain as such,
accepting our assumed limitation
till ceasing thinking, we live life by touch,
rapturous in all time meditation.
Ego is but an earth life interface,
helping soul to navigate this terrain.
Believing we are it, is our disgrace,
yet with false sense of pride we wear this chain.
Shifting into silence, coming undone,
we then realise God and we are one.

At the gates of Heaven
I sit and sing Your praise
Where is Maya now?
when the only sound my mind
can hear is Hari Nam
My sari a silk prayer flag
flutters in the tranquil breeze
pastel blue, pink
and yellow hues of Prashanthi
abode of highest peace
Listen manas to the music
timbrel, flute and harmonium
they too sing the glory of God
Still we must be vigilant
our hands continuously harvesting
the bliss of selfless service
our thoughts, words and deeds
a divine mala on which we
incessantly chant Hari Nam
Eternal Companion
old habits die hard
and charming snakes with
golden hoods
rattle in the ghostly shadows
Hold me closer, Ancient Self
tighter still...steal my breath
So...so that I am blue skinned like
You
And when the ways of the world
have passed away
Scatter my ashes...vibhuti stars
all along the Bhakti path

As a yellow Asian man
from the poor country
next to Afghanistan
I am also was very proud
when mister Obama
won electing company in US.
But now when American police
failed deeply in our region,
and the US-airbase in Manas
has expelled from Kyrgyzstan,
i am understood clearly
the popular nowadays proverb
son of slave cannot be a good king
and in his place would been luckier McCain,
sorry all of us, dear Obama,
but our world in your time,
has been needfull deadly
for somebody remained little
Alexander the Great.
Who just come in Central Asia
with peaceful and strong invasion
and expelled the evil and rotten regimes,
that enslaved our people and dozen nations,
instead have been expelled himself
and left us for multiplying destroyers.
But I am hope for West that returning again
as coming from where the truly Christianity
and free and deep interpretation of Holy scriptures,
and hope for Eternal life and peace
where shall not been the great empires
and theirs games, intrigues and bloody sacrifices.

On Father’s Day I too want to give you a gift My Son
To Manas
who is a young Power Engineer
On Father’s Day I too want to give you a gift My Son
A legacy of determinations and desires
Of living in Happiness in every situation of life.
The highest goals of life can only be achieved
By those who believe in converting every struggle
A stair to rise up more in life.
Problems and difficulties of life my son
Are blessings of God to put you on stride.
Failures too are meant to make your efforts
More shining and meaningful for your life.
If you want to rise-up high in the sky
You will have to dive deep in your life,
If you want to touch the lofty heights
Never forget the ground
From where you got your first light.
Producing light and giving it to others,
Is not an ordinary work of life, My son,
With this feeling, if you comply your works
The glory of doing something for a noble cause
Would give you the wealth of Happiness throughout your Life.
