Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 4:10

The Self has no attribute
yet continues to reboot,
pure, vibrant and untainted,
light by which life is painted.

Existing beyond space-time,
at peace with no peaks to climb,
bliss replete, it is complete,
as light that does not deplete.

Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 1:9

he who seeks liberation
is in a state of separation
desiring to go from here to there
although God or Self is everywhere

practices based on belief
offers the heart no relief
so simply remaining self-aware
even the need to ascend outstare

Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 5:1

Two Gods: unmanifest and manifest,
paradox being that both are the same 
and we too become That when thought forms rest,
thus in truth know that life is but a game,
a lucid dream, with no tempests to tame.
God’s heartbeat is the cosmic vibration,
be it the void or seeming creation.


Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 1:8

Relinquishing individuality,
which reworded means erasing the ego,
oh worthy monk, embrace the totality,
that we see God face to face, by letting go.
Be like the sun that nourishes one and all,
springing forward to assist all those who fall,
beholding the light of God in every form,
that thus with His law of oneness we conform.

LIGHT OF UPANISHAD

Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 5:7

A, U, M as alphabets in mantra Om,
have been by the scriptures over analysed 
but riding waves of thought we never reach home 
for as long as life is weighed, measured and sized,
like a directionless soul, earth we will roam
and the truth of God will not be realised.
Let the gong of Om arise all by itself,
revealing to us in time, the light of Self.

Premium Member Prashna Upanishad verse 1:7

God as the one life force, dwells in every heart
but the ego feels that it is separate,
so if our search for truth we wish to jump-start,
simply standing still letting not fear forms bait,
thought constructed demons of darkness depart,
whence as the sole architect of our soul’s fate,
in the pause of silence, pheromones mingle
and truth becomes clear when our eye is single.

St Kabeer Couplets 9: Wishing Everyone Welfare

Standing in a market square
Kabeer wants everyone’s welfare,
Nor friendship to any,
Nor any enmity! 
_______________________________

Kabira khada  bazar mein, mange sab ki khair,
Na kahu se dosati, na kahu se bair.

Kabeer advises us to look at everyone with the same equal eye, no one as an undue friend, and no one as foe either; hailing all, hating none. What Isha Upanishad said, and what Bhagavad-Gita too, Kabeer has put it in a layman’s language.

“A rebel, a nerd, we follow not the herd ~
Gong of Om felt as bliss, is our holy word “
            ~ quote by poet


To be a celibate or to celebrate,
former suppression, latter jubilation,
is what the scripture says, determines our fate
but why not dwell in the void of cessation?
Let us flow through this life with nonchalant ease,
mode embrace and release, flowing like the breeze,
with fullness in emptiness being the norm,
invoking divine magnetism, a bliss storm.
