The Joy of the Moment



The time just flows past as the water of the countless streams
The memories of the present becomes a past in just a moment
The plans for the future are as uncertain as a waterfall descent
The life in the present moment is all that one can be conscious

The reminiscences of the past is just that a part of history
The thoughts of the future is just that an unknown mystery
The life in the present can be lived with conscious mastery
The life in hindsight doing the right thing lends itself to harmony

It just requires discipline on every facet of our human existence
It may seem difficult to face up to reality given our human frailty
It may seem impossible since we have diverse roles and needs
It may seem odd to give up desires that we have learned to feed

If we introspect in the current moment, we will realize the eternal truth
There is nothing of the past and the future and we all tread the same route
If we remain fully conscious in every moment we are completely attentive
There will be no regrets nor suffering and actions will be completely effective!

Birthday Month




It is once again a privilege to live my birthday month
A time that makes me reflect on my personal front
It has been a journey rich with diversity of emotions
A walk through the Universe as it completes its motion

I remember my childhood and the memories flash back
Every moment comes alive as I get surrounded by the pack
The moments of grief makes me accept the frailty of life
The joyful memories trigger a smile as I salute the way of life

I find it difficult to decode the concurrent patterns of complexity & synergy
I find it easier to digest Nature’s visual delight and melody that resonate harmony
I find it shocking to encounter people who make utter misuse of power and money
I connect better with those who live a life filled with humour and taste of honey

I am witness to the fast pace as the years seem to gradually slide away
I am cognizant of the imprints that I will leave behind in the Universal play
I am not aware of the trajectory of my future path nor the collective destiny
I am mindful of the short lived dynamic life changes that classify a mutiny

I thank my circle of family and friends who have stood beside me
I am glad for every experience that has made me wiser with time
I understand and acknowledge that in the end life will finally pause
I pray and sincerely hope that I get to play a part for a better cause!
