THE HOURGLASS
THE HOURGLASS
Other day I purchased one hourglass a scarce commodity now
Looks simple antique vintage designed calls on for attraction
Made of brass superannuated letters engraved also says London 1885
Glass blocks sand known for transparency
It has been my latest play; sand falls down inverted starts again
Sand particles minute, every drop depicts gravity, heaps of sand change shape
Fascination for device watcher’s time stands still in enchantment
Flow smooth though, time runs out particles reveal fraction of seconds
With it during play stunned to know life moves so fast
Ordinarily in life‘s tenure its obscure, OMG! Time flies such speed
Amazing! Sand being pulled down concludes one time measure! Humans being pulled by sensual pleasures complete one cycle of life
Many such products or things inspire us to correct life in realization of blissful state
Ancient timing tool likewise has many things to tell and teach – THE HOURGLASS
Storm of Troubles
Storm of Troubles
Like storm they come creating blackout
Shaking my thoughts inserting awful feelings
Pulling my basement make me shudder to breathe for life
I stand by my robust stem and roots
They shy in shame go out of sight for a while
In habit of creating hell on earth
Hiding and seeking craving to step-in
Only to come to see my daring tough looks
I possess no rooms for unwanted guests
Solution lasts for them is only to escape
Everyone in life faces troubles and problems be it financial, emotional, relationship break ups or health. Some face it much early in life or later. All of us have been dealing with them when they come one after the other, in a way we get trained.
There comes a time when all troubles come at a time like a storm and there lies the test of time. We have to face and handle them with patience and intelligence. We have to see them right in their face show them how strong we are and can be. Seeing back how we have come through in life having to solve and overcome such situations was our capacity and bravery. So we now have to show more of it when it has come like a storm. The more scope you give the more they enter inside. Keeping them at bay is a meticulous task.
Emotion to Salvation
Emotion to Salvation
In the midst of the heart ripping emotion
Words play to create commotion
Even in bright day light pierced by your vision
The long wait showed me direction
Amid all hurt, tears, scar and all the good in motion
Self introspection and rumination lead to determination
Scholarly acquaintances, scriptures, doctrines are exemplification
Knowledge to enlightenment and meditation
Am now on way to salvation
While responding on Radhika’s comment, author of radhikasreflection, on my Blog post “Point Blank” these words and lines of thoughts came forth. I am deeply grateful to her for the inspiration.
There shall be NO WAR
There shall be NO WAR
There shall be NO WAR
Small WARS are inevitable
If there shall be a bigger WORLD WAR
That shall be the end of Life on this planet
Terrorism will be a constant and continued disturbance to LIFE AND NATURE
The Long Wait
The
The Long Wait
“The Long wait was so Long
Thus came the Last breath”
These two lines suddenly came from my mouth in a different context yesterday night. Today morning I received two death messages. Two of them were ailing since long, long time. One was my Aunty and the other was my manager’s father. Every time they almost announced – shall die in a few hours, but they emerged back to life and of course but not of a normal life, but still ailing. The wait for their death was too long.
I feel such people are innumerable in number in the whole of the world. The near and dear ones taking so much care though, but would be waiting for their death, as continuance of the situation would still worsen their health.
Some lines are such, you can take them in many situations, and these are one such. The Long wait may be a child’s settlement in Life, the child’s job or job hike, parents waiting for children’s marriage, a share in the family property, a prolonging court case. All such sorts..
The long wait is so long that we keep waiting and waiting for it to happen but it does not occur and at last comes the last breath. Not going much into what all situations and contexts we all have, I conclude as everyone have their own. Rest, in the comments please. Hahaha!
Control of Life
Control of Life
“Do not let lose the control of your Life
Slowly it shall be controlled by Something else and/or Someone else”
Over a period of time, in life at a certain point of time, we may start losing the control of our lives. In the process it may so happen that slowly somebody or something will crop up and conquer us and start controlling our life. So, Check. Beware. Take Decision Now. Before it is too late.
Following maybe
Something:
Health (Bodily or/and Mentally), Unwanted Love, Strained relationship
Chronic Disease, Money, Job, Legal Case …
Someone:
Self, Friend, Son, Daughter, Sister, Brother, Husband, Wife, Father, Mother, Relation, Colleague, Boss, Sub-Ordinate, or even a Stranger…
We are living on this earth in the frame of time, so all problems have solutions, all questions have answers, everything is short lived.
So, Shun it, Forget it, Do not care, Accept, Adopt and lastly Laugh at it…
Close eyes and sit for a while just think you are not what is happening. You are the Bliss___Understand.
90% or more, the Wife controls Husband and much lesser percent, in single digit, maybe, Husband controls Wife . Hehehe…
Here both enjoy each-others’ control… Hahaha…
Where shall I be taken? The Quest Remains
Where shall I be taken? The Quest Remains
My Quest to know
Never evaporates
Mingled in the body
Tingled by the Karma
Condoned ill health
Pardoned the sinful
Forgave the graceless
Overlooked the rude
Crossing the river of Life
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains
Black Holes, Galaxies, Innumerable Universes
Thus in the vast abode
I shall dwell in peace
I do not care where
The Murderers, Dishonest, Wicked, Deceit have been taken
But am worried where
The People with Love, Truth, and Honesty sent
Countless have gone from here
Even Saints, Sufis, Sants, Rishis and Martyrs
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains
Eyes wide open nights
In full consciousness
Like an insomniac
Buried in the thoughts
Of after leaving this body
Make me listen a lullaby
Make me know
So I shall sleep well
Have sweet dreams of the thought
Where shall I be taken?
The Quest Remains
I & Life Fight; Peacefully

I & Life Fight; Peacefully
I fight
With Life
It fights with Me
We have fought enough
There were better tournaments
To Participate, Play and Win
I have won few
It has won few
Sometimes there was a draw
Its not like we do not fight anymore
Maybe both are fed up with each other
Both ask each other – why fight?
And we both agreed
Life goes on
So, Life and I go peacefully
I am feeling it is neither a Poem nor a Prose. We can name it as “Prosetry”.
I have seen and read so many blogs and many bloggers do write this way. Whatever that comes to mind we write and can write. So go writing “PROSETRY”……
I think its the best way of expressing oneself and its the best way to make know and convey your message to the readers. Sometimes writers are in a fix to write prose or poetry and maybe they remain in a dilemma and shall tend not to write anything, instead adopt this new style “Prosetry”.
I went into the details to capture some thoughts and landed in the below mentioned link. Please go read.
I think we BLOGGERS can popularize this way of expression and writing – “PROSETRY”
I have included this word into my Computer dictionary, if you like it you may do so.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_poetry
The ‘se’ in PROSETRY has to be pronounced as in Possession. I hope you understand. So let us make it popular.
I have edited the post and have added this above line, after having a discussion in the comments. You may please inform your opinion about that in your comments. Thanks
I am happy to inform you all friends that the word ‘Prosetry’ has been received very well by most of them who have read this post.
One of my friends Ranjeeta Nath Ghai who is inspired has already written three Prosetry after reading this post, I give the following links to go see what she has written.
Living In A State Of Denial: Prosetry
Carvings On the Soul: Prosetry
Chasing The Rainbows: A Prosetry
So! Happy Reading Prosetry
Yes! I am Life
Posted on 25th January 2016
Yes! I am Life
I am as Fresh and Immaculate always
You can’t even Imagine
My Pristine Beauty and Importance
I am Freely Available All over
Involuntary You take Me In and Out
You Enjoy My Effect
On your Face, Skin and Body
Your Mind gets Doubly Happy
You gave me the title Cool Breeze
You throw your Dust, Impurities into Me
Make me Impure and Unhealthy
You blame it on Me
Address Me as Pollution
You fill your Tyres
Compress Me to your Benefits
Run Your Machines
I keep the World on the Move
You call Air
Sell with no Gratitude
You Spend to Breathe Me
Go far off places
Resorts, Hill Stations, Beeches and the like
There you Feel
I am there for You
You shower Blessings upon Me
In the language of Yoga
They Proclaim it as Prana
The Life giver
You don’t Care
To take Care of Me
Other Creatures and Living Things depend on Me
I am Off from Here
You and Everything is Finished
Existence put to Question
Beware! To see Me, I am there
Yes! I am life
Knowledge is endless
Knowledge is endless
Knowledge is endless
But
Enlightenment is anytime

This quote is in continuity of my immediate previous post, “Enlighten Knowledge”.
It is a fact that came to my mind while I was replying to Dahlia on her beautiful comment on that post; she is on my Follow and one of my ardent readers and a very good Blogger friend. She herself has a fantastic Blog worth a visit. Please visit Dahlia and share your ideas and experiences with her.
In regard to the quote there is so much of knowledge to be known but how much are we to know is a big question. To lead a happy life and to cater to our needs and the demands of our profession, vocation or jobs we are to acquire certain amount of knowledge. Apart from that, what is it that is needed as far as to lead a happy life. Questions arise to all – Why is this life? What is this life? For what is the purpose, that we are here, in this vast universe on a tiny planet which we call as Earth? Such are the questions which pester or bother us in life at some point of time. This has been the state of affairs not only now but since millenniums past.
Great men have explored and have found the answers for them; so they have been called sages, saints, rishis and enlightened persons.
Knowledge has been classified as two types. Knowledge that which is concerned to our practical day to day life and the other one is to know of our own self, thereby the secret of the existential.
To know about the transcendental knowledge, there are various schools of thought. Philosophies that preach and mythologies proclaim of certain facts. All these do say and give answers to questions that arise. So, then, which one or to what extent are we to know of these is a big question.
We have to be in the path. Enlightenment may happen anytime to anyone. It may take a second, a few years or so many lives.
Check the Oscillation of the Mind.
Be a witness to the Mind.
I feel some of you are already in the path and have an inclination to the spiritual world or want to know more of the beyond. Everyone in their own way has reached to a certain extent in the path; one needs to meet someone who could show the path further, one who shall throw light upon the way. Apart from your personal study, listening to discourses and/or angel messages there are few more things on the path one can adopt.
I give here below the links to some of the sites that may lead you to your continued studies in the wake of enlightenment.
