Oh You! World. Now! You Envy

Posted on Updated on

Oh You! World. Now! You Envy

 

Oh You! World

I was after you

Such love you know

What you gave Me

Hate, Shame, Displeasure, Depression

You want me to give the List

Better you not ask

As it goes endless

You showed your Charm

To Hanker for Money and Power

I shun you

Have now been living beneath a tree

Beside a musical stream

Among the chirping song of the birds

Animals, Insects, Beasts come to me

Both free of fear

We love each other

I understand their language

So do they mine

Hunger and craving has disappeared

I give them nothing

As here in the forest

I do not have anything to give

I only have Love

In return I receive by the bundles

Being among the stars, sunset, sunrise and darkless nights

In the soundless blossoming of the flowers

I live in the ecstasy of nature

What more bliss do I need

I am now the universe

The whole of existence

It loves me

I love it

I am away from You

Oh You! World

Now! You Envy

      Deb!
      I signed out from my blog and saw my Blog as any other blogger could see it. I have all the widgets that you have mentioned in my side bar, the Follow button for wordpress follow and down below the button for email follow.
      The current problem that is going for which I have registered it in the help and support, let us see what they would do about it. Is there anything else that you are talking about, can you not see these widgets in my blog.
      Thanks for the comment. Its all about a person how and why he turns to be a monk or a sage; the state of mind becomes so and actually it happens so in real terms or life. The most astonishing thing is I read a book on Kundalini last week in which there is mention of such a thing in it and I was surprised that I had already written about it in a few lines in this poem. When a person attains such a state of mind as mentioned in the last few lines; nature and everything else becomes one with him, even the wild animals and beasts do not give any sort of problem and they bow down and be friendly.
      I have finished writing one more poem and it is again strange that it has come out to be of 9 lines and 72 words.
      I shall post it during next week. On an average I post four posts in a month and I think that is more than enough for me, rest of the time that is available I keep visiting other blogs and I am really very happy to be here with happy people sharing and caring sometimes even in their sorrows.
      You have always been a special support and friend to me and I keep thinking how it influences on our minds too.

        I do see that I am following you, I don’t see this type of widget on your page. It’s a little bit different than the follow widget, but maybe because I have set my individual email notifications for other blogs is tbe reason why I don’t see it.
        That is a fascinating story about the monk/sage. I love the idea of becoming one with nature and the animals…that’s what I strive for. That’s the Universe at work once again where you wrote those lines down and then are reading a book that is stating what you wrote. I love how that works.
        I look forward to your next post.

          I am very happy that you strive for and have been seeing that your state of mind is in track of that spiritual Sadhana.
          In this path one has to strive, only just thinking does not help at all. Sadhana is though a word in the hindu scriptures but now has been taken into the English language, I feel that is the most appropriate word; it is a Sanskrit originated word like the other words what we use are Karma, Mantra, and so on. Sadhana means – “disciplined and dedicated practice or learning, especially in religion or music.”
          “years of sadhana blessed him with technical mastery”. You can refer wikipedia for further reference.
          In the Sadhana there comes so many other things, practices like Prayer, Pooja, Meditation, Yoga and Tantric practices, Reading of Scriptures and listening to the Sages of Scriptural texts and so on. All of them give certain amount of rewards, there is no doubt about it. But here how much of what is to be done, is the main criteria, that you shall get to know over a period of time and more so also by the one whom you have faith in his or her guidance. You may call him a Guru, Guide or whatsoever. He may be your own Parent, Friend, Teacher, Guardian, or anybody; it is not only I, even the scriptures say so. In this path; compared to any other, there shall be millions of obstacles which we may know or not, they shall hinder the progress, so we have to check on that. It shall again depend on our Karma also, I think I shall keep a little of it to write of karma in your post “Karma Knows”.

          I feel if I have written this particular poem, I feel it is because of that little ‘Sadhana’ whatever I have been doing in the past so many (almost 20 Years now) years. I have been practicing all what I have told above but again so many obstacles have come. A decisive factor is again another thing to take into account. I feel you understand what I am saying, you are intelligent and that also helps not fully though, most things in the path have to be taken from the Heart center. You will start knowing how the universe works, it is good you love it.

          The next post I feel you will simply feel it is amazing as it is very simple.
          I wish you all the very best in the PATH.

            Thanks Shiva for all your wise words and insight. You are right through life we encounter many obstacles, I believe these “obstacles” are actually there to help us learn. We need to observe them and then decide which path we want to take either with the obstacle, through the obstacle or around the obstacle. I agree also that most things do have to be taken from the Heart center. I believe if they are taken from there you will be less likely to regret the choice of path you took. I look forward to your next post. Thank you for your wish!!
            I wish you an enlightening journey along your path too!!

      I never wanted or want to express that I am spiritual.
      Maybe it comes naturally when you have such thoughts or in the path.
      Yes I do feel still – when I start witnessing the world as a Soul and when I Meditate, I suddenly go into that Blissful state.
      Remember, that is not all. there is further to understand. I think most of it is said in the lines in this Poetry, which has given me also that satisfaction. Every line tells of something profound. I think one has to think over deep again and again, so a glimpse of it shall be seen.
      If you want any details of some of the lines you feel free to ask.
      Hope you have listened to the music. Do keep time for them during meditation or while you go to sleep.

          Loved your enthusiasm.
          Prayer, Pooja, Japa, Studying of Scriptures, Yoga, Pranayama, Tantra, Homa, Listening to Discourses and Meditation are all different types of Sadhana. They have their own rewards to give and they have their limitations. But I should say they are interconnected and interlinked. One who is aspiring to know has to practice, and as you practice you shall know how much to of what.
          In the course you shall find a Guru or if you have one it is so good. I should tell you here that a competent Guru is difficult to find and it is vice versa.

          By the by, you are talking of Meditation. See it is like this, even if you sit for meditation what will you meditate. So first you have to ‘Know’ to ‘Experience’ it.

          I shall continue my this discussion in my reply to your comment on my post “Celestial Embrace” as there is lot to be said there.
