Mind

I am trying hard to control,
my mind and its flows,
and make them go in one direction.

Incessantly I try to drive out
the  thoughts of people, events
and replace them with His thoughts,
my heartbeats  for Him.

Often, past brakes into it,
uninvited like an unruly storm
and shatters my focus.
Present, lulls me to retort to entertainment,
and causes a break in my concentration,
future thoughts, disturbs me
by  making me concern about the people I rely.

Maybe, the most difficult work,
under the sun, is to control one's own mind.

Still I am confident, that one day,
only He will be in my mind,
and guide me to become His. 

He is everything to me

Is there anyone,
more important than the Almighty?
Is there anything,
more pious than His name?
Is there any poem,
more precious than His prayer?
Is there any work,
more pleasurable than thinking about Him?
Is there any topic,
more interesting than talking about His deeds?
I have only one answer,
"No"
What about you?

My journey

Mine is a journey,
from earthly to eternal,
from darkness to divinity,
from expectations to satisfaction,
from shrewdness to innocence.

People would act according to
their understanding,
their perceptions of life,
their character and heart,
and ultimately their goal of living.

Therefore,
 I do not mind who does what.
 I do not feel disturbed by
their actions and reactions.

Here until and unless,
I am thoroughly truthful,
I am free from ego and selfishness,
I can't even begin this journey.
Until my mind carries ,
grudge or enmity,
 jealousy or anger,
its not worth going there.

I always keep this thing in my mind,
that He loves me, He is with me,
and I should always polish my actions,
take care of my words,
control my thoughts and emotions
in order to  make myself ,
worthy of Him,
acceptable to Him.

जगन्नाथ

सर्व उत्पति, स्थिति, विनाश
तं मध्ये  प्रतिष्ठित  सतत
गतः, स्थितः भविष्यः च 
कारकः, कारण  त्वं जगन्नाथ। 

असार इदं संसारे  त्वं  हि
सकल  तत्व, सत्व सार
 तेजोस्त्वं  ओजोस्त्वं
प्रभो, त्वं ममः  हृदयेश्वर।  

Conflict and Resolution

There can not be vainglory, selfishness,
hypocrisy in the mind of a man in devotion,
so he can't have conflict with anyone.
Whosoever comes close are welcome,
don't come, I never mind, choice is their's.

Devotion can be  a solo journey,
through the path of constant learning,
concentration, meditation,until enlightenment,
and lost in devotion at the end.

Now, I have control over my words and deeds,
but I am yet to control my mind.
Shamefully for me,
it still roams in thoughts,
not related to devotion.

I have only one resolution,
in this new year, to control my mind,
 tie it up with the Almighty,
and keep the tie firm.

Good bye 2019 and welcome 2020

If the out going year 2019
 appears before me as a man,
I would love to bow before him,
and touch his feet.

The year 2019,
 wiped up my tears,
consoled my grieved heart,
and fulfilled my spread empty hands.

In his presence I toured,
from Ramanathaswami to Pasupatinath,
from Dwarikadhish to lord Jagannath,
and got blessed to write prayers for them.

These pious stuffs,
brought people from the spiritual world,
in my life.

I got what I always desired
"divinity" and "devotion",
 look forward to spread it
in the world the next year 2020.

Stay blessed all of you.

Until I leave this earth

Maybe someday,
I forget to remember,
whether I had taken my breakfast or not
I fail to identify my own kids,
and even I forget my own name.

I know, it will happen one day,
if I live long,
so I am not worried about it.

But Oh God,
only one thing I would like
 to plead before You,
that I should never forget You
Your name and Your blessings,
until I leave in this earth.
