“Karmaneva Adikarasthe Maapaleshu Kadachana,

Waiting not for the end result
you start to perform your duty
whether your efforts result in fruits or go in vain
is not at all,  your concern

With needed obedience you put in,
your efforts ,of sure, will not go in vain

Who is the actual doer
and who is the recipient?
Don’t feel exaggerated when you embrace success
and never be let down  and disgusted when you loose in the race
Survival of the fittest has become an obsolete adage
and ‘arrival of the fittest’ has set in as a innovative and new quote

[*****which means that you only have responsibility over your actions and not the fruits of your actions]

Hymns about HIM–

Come on my dear
come straight to the dais

All Poets have gone to their homes
shuffling all their volumes,chap books
and newly written poems on scribbling pads.
Come please!!!!  come on to the dais

Let us start writing our own verse
not eulogizing the persons in authority.
Let us start a new era in this poetic world
by writing all poems that sound from our heart
and not at all dictated by the ‘isms’ in tryst

Enough is enough we have wasted much time till now
and let us not at all allow, for the dictates of authority,our heads to  bow
we now concentrate writing hymns about HIM
not wating time further in useless syllosisms

For years, decades and centuries
He was weighed as supreme lord!

and He is really the  light
that guided us from paths of darkness

He is true,real and earnest
and praise HIM whole heartedly
is the theme  to be rendered at its best
and eulogizing HIM of course, is the next option we select

then…

then…

Oh God

despite many summons
many sighs
and many resists by me

I revealed you,
away from my neighborhood
making me wavering
and wandering all the time

yet I could not
be serious for get away

since I considered that
when you are strong by
not liquefying or sighing after
hearing my mourns

then ,
maybe I am improper
at guessing my cheerlessness

Oh God…

In restless and endless succession—

Leave not me to my sheer wisdom
My lord!
it has been hacked several times
by non believers of theism

Leave not me alone in my kingdom
My lord!
it is very well invaded again and again
by infiltrators of other beliefs

Leave not me for the channels of my ignorance
My lord!
it has been already taken for a raid
by pranksters many a time

Leave not me aloof for the scores of my innocence
My lord!
it was adopted many a time
by techno savvy professionals occasionally

Leave me please!! at your benign lotus feet
My lord!
and allow me to blossom like a fragrant flower
to make the surroundings smell with a sweet smell

Bless me well with your gracious glances
and provide me with all needed opportunities
to eulogize your kindness
and chant your names in hundreds of times
in restless and endless succession
=================================

atones

Oh God

where do you dwell
and how do you hear my supplication
I am not discerned?

I bow my head
at your image on the wall

if you allow my wall
to disclose my anguishes

I am confident that responding to my prayers
you will bless me, atones

Oh God…

Thou art there—

THOU ART THERE
Thou art there,in every act and deed of my life
day in and day out
I experience your precious presence
in every art of nature,
you are quite visible every where
I trek on my lord!

When I stroll on,  into my garden
the flowers with all their fragrant smiles
welcome me to their affectionate fold
and simply glorify your gracious face my lord!

When I go to the well , to fetch water
to meet  the needs of the house
You decisively , make your presence felt,
in the cold water streams that too,  in hot summer times
and warm water springs, available,  in winter stretches

With how many colour combinations
you paint beautifully on the sky’s space,
especially at the times of sunrise and sunset
my lord! do you remember at all these traits ?

You have tactfully provided birds
with many skills , and in providing shelter to them selves,
they weave cozy textures of their nests
and nicely perch them safely, on the tree branches

They  are provided with melodious voices
to soothen the wailing minds of living beings
while they sing cordially in mellifllous tunes

Thou art there, quite visible every where
you are magnificient in all your artistic designs
omniscient and omni potent
you, all the time weigh high in our serene souls

You are a priceless wisdom
manifested on earth planet
as a friend,philosopher and guide
you always make your presence dearer to our hearts.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Your Light

Oh God

you put me in complexities
sitting somewhere as my schoolmaster of
an examination room

I fight, I struggle,
I shout,

In this course
I am overthrown sometimes
and sometimes I triumph

refereeing all my performs
you make me assess

awarding me the marks
for validating me to gain access
to your light

Oh God…

Author notes

The self-controlled person, moving among objects, with his senses free from attachment and malevolence and brought under his own control/ACTS, attains tranquility leading to gateway of HIS light.

Resonating in pale tone—–

When silence, becomes speechlessness
a rift in the cloud starts rumbling ahead

Muscled between thickened black clouds,
sun looks too cold and almost in freezing stance
to spread love rays between  two beloved hearts

I  think ultimate resistance gropes
between persistence and impatience

Words that try to sentence me for ever
shouted  aloud with screaming voice, at the sky down

In this ruffly hour of morning times
when white moon light slants down
yielding place to rising sun light,
birds begin,  to flap their wings loose in the air
readying themselves to start  their long  journey afresh.

Wind begin to vibrate gently
and softly with the nascent kiss of the sea

Has the window at my living room, lost its frankness?
Is the love waiting passionately for the beloveds, slowly disappearing?

Let me verify scrupulously, with the breezes that weave textures around me
Why, still they have to blow hot, even now through the rumbling ,summer leaves?

I shout loudly into  the  air, and very nearer to the sky madly
My voice, however , comes back resonating in pale tones there after.

FACING MYSELF —

After being reported sick
and advised complete rest
for almost a week
I , as if imprisoned,
was,  confined to bed.

When ever I look at it,
my mirror, in the bed room,
used to cut a sorry figure at me,
all the time, may be,
for an ugly appearance in my  face.

After a week’s rest and recuperation
and  was diognized as normal
by the attending physician,
and had a nice shave for myself
the mirror, at the dressing table
felt glad, to glance at my glistening face.

I am now a liberated self
feeling a great sigh of relief
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the grant…

Oh God

I laced my hands
since they do this and that

while
I expect to do that and this

they serve to this world
and I crave for that world
which belongs to you

so tolerate me
if I am not operating the grant
which you commended me

Oh God…
