Order of the day

Hypocrites are good, pretentious are wise,
people who are straightforward are stupids,
This has been the order of the day.

Those who think from their  heart,
and speak out whatsoever they see and feel,
are wrong people, stupids.
Those who use their brain to calculate
what to say and what to not to say,
 hide their feelings, things are great.
This is the requirement of the time.

If you like someone,
then don't say you loved him/her
say you want to be his /her friend, its ok,
now you can have fun with him/her.
If you say you loved him/her,
then you are a wrong person,
because you are seen to be keen in having an affairs.
This is the definition of right and wrong.

If you feel something wrong
 in his/her words or action
then you hide that and remain silent.
Telling a lie or not telling a truth is not unjust.
If you can't give fake appreciation then remain silent.
This is sagacity not dishonesty.

I categorically reject
such a order of the day.

Tests in the path of devotion

It's not too easy to walk on the track
of devotion and stay focused on it
amidst the glitter and glamour
of the world and their temptations,
amongst the lie, deception of people,
their heartless and thoughtless actions.

Many adverse situations would arrive
people who you trust most, rely as your own
would without any strong  reason
cut the throat of your trust and reliance.
Such situations are tests of your calmness,
humbleness, sobriety, devout character.

No claim on anything or blame on anyone
as everyone is related to his/her vision of life,
understanding of things, requirements, goals
compulsions and constraints of situation,
feelings, knowledge, wisdom, conscience.
Hence, none can be regarded or treated as an enemy,
even if one harms you or hurts you deliberately.

The path is long, difficult and lonely
the journey is tough  and painstaking
still,  when you begin, you ought to go
until your last breath and that too
without visualizing a finishing line
as there is nothing called end point of this path..

When you feel that you are right on the track
when your inner being says that it is drenched
 with the sweet, soothing and pious feelings
 of  devotion for Him, it makes you bold,
determined,cautious and respondsible
so that you can  hang on to the flow.

As every achievement and failure
happiness and sorrow are only related to Him,
so not to bother, worry and react,
to the world around you.

On each  step, stay mentally prepared
you would face a test of your devotion,
an ordeal of  your control over your words,
acts and even mind.

Your importance

Individuals are not important
their ideologies are important,
the sun is not important,
it's rays are important,
think of the sun without it's rays,
you would understand its significance
is as good as any other stars.

Beautiful flowers
having no fragrance are not important,
in the same way as a beautiful woman
or a handsome man is not vital,
their social behavior and piousness matters.

This is the only reason I was attracted towards you.
your splendid soul, your spotless character,
your straightforward attitude was the reason,
for which I respected you, liked you.

So whenever I see a slight deviation,
I harshly objected and you retreated,
in a negative way.
You judge, where I was wrong. 

Why you did so?

The pain I am going through
is as if an ulcer has developed
inside my heart and is cankering,

or as if a physician had left a scissor
inside me when he had operated me and forgot it.

That object, whatsoever it is pinches me from inside
and raises some questions in my mind.

I trusted you as a pious person, a generous friend
 honestly shared my thoughts with you,
 regarded you as my companion of the literary path,
and made you the lone reader of my devotional songs,
went on encouraging you on every step to become successful,
respected you, your words, your wishes, your family,
 your family life and  your dignity as a woman.

After all those, what did I wish?
a little bit extra attention as your best friend
a little bit caring from a respectable distance,
a humanitarian behavior from anther human being,
Do I not deserve those?

My words were humble and  never aggressive,
actions were never against the social norms,
when you were with me and even when you left me,
Were they so ?
Was I dishonest towards you? Selfish in my attitude?

I love truthfulness, straightforwardness,
piousness of thought and act,
were my activity or words provocative or sensuous?

Then what make you punish an innocent soul,
that wish honesty in friendship from you?

Don't you feel  pain causing sorrow to me?

Don't you feel guilt of causing pain without any reason,
 to a man who trusted you, rely on you, pray for you,
wish good and great things for you, worshiped a character ?

You can but I can't

You can go away
from the one you trusted once,
you can block the ways
of the one you shared your heart once
you can ignore the heartache 
of the one you accepted as your own once,
you can forget
the one you truly loved once.

But  I can't forsake
the one I acknowledged as my own,
I can't block the views
of the one I once accepted  as my pious companion,
I can't disturb and cause pain
to the one I am respecting with all my heart,
I can't behave like an enemy,
with the one whom I accredit with all my success.

You can have your doors and windows open
for the happiness to enter your chamber,
but I had closed all doors and windows
towards the rest of the world,
once you left me.

This is the truth of my honesty towards you
that I would like to pronounce with proud,
and still if this bitter truth hurts you then,
 I may please be forgiven.

Awaiting you

It was an worship,
an worship of the divine qualities  in you,
A thirst to see  godhood in you
which I always believe
 to be existing in human beings,
A wish to see truth, trust, transparency
 honesty and selflessness in you,
 An eagerness to establish,
 a divine relationship between the us two.

But you never really understand
maybe because you never believe
that thorough truthfulness,
honest sharing of thoughts,
selfless relationship,
 maintaining a respectable distance,
is possible under the sun.

Its not your fault,
the world in which you live in,
is like that.

I was I am and I will
 continue to maintain those things in me,
continue to remain honest towards you,
without any expectation.

I know, you would come back to me,
the day you would become free,
from the slavery of your anger,
from the clutch of your materialistic thoughts,
from the silliness of your misunderstanding.

Its not so easy for a normal person
 to successfully overcome these things,
but I believe you will win over these things,
because you are not a normal person,
and that is why I choose you as a  divine soul.
