A LOOK AT LIFE-98

       A JOURNEY

The world outside
No doubt is  beautiful and fascinating 
But it is nothing in comparison to the 
Inner world where you hardly live.

You have travelled a lot
Your mind wandered here and there 
Your organs of senses searched for
Happiness everywhere 
But you failed miserably 
Real happiness you found nowhere 

Now when no outer world to roam
Lockdown your outing 
For a change 
Look within
Go inside and see what lies therein 
Just close your lies
And sit for a few minutes 
That will convince you about the treasure
That lies deep within. 

As you go deep
Move along the spine 
Layers of consciousness will unfold
Until you become the whole
And your identification is complete 

Expand your consciousness 
And be the universe
Contract yourself to a dot 
Feel you are the ocean and mountains 
Feel you are the atom, protons and neutrons in the nucleus 
The electrons orbiting around 
Think you are eating through thousands of mouths
You are suffering in millions of bodies 
You are taking birth and dying every moment
You are Krishna and Arjuna, Dhritarashtra, Duryodhan and the beheaded Belalasen 
Who could see nothing but the Sudarshan chakra Cutting alike friends and foes
You are in the mid-sea surrounded by water
But inside you, there is hardly any water 
That visualisation will introduce you to yourself
And bring you close to reality.

Be a spectator 
Watch your breath
You will realise you are not breath
Watch your body and mind
Hands, legs, eyes, ears and other
Organs of senses
You will realise you are  neither body nor mind 
You are that consciousness which drives
The body and mind to action
Without being involved 

Consciousness does not have birth and death
It is immune to pleasure and pain
It is untouched by pairs of opposites 
It is above time and space 
It has been there since infinity
When there was no time and space 
Consciousness is not many
It is one that pervades, holds and 
Is, in fact, the whole universe.
