FACE OF GOD

       FACE OF GOD.

As the sun rises my mind arises from the source
Deep sleep had wiped out all thoughts
Where there was only bliss,without another
This is my true nature,a state of pure awareness
Thoughts by themselve have no power
Unless I pay attention to every one of them
They move one after after another inviting me
To embrace them and enter an illusory world
Of joys and sorrows,appearing to be so real.
When I step back and see them sans interest
They become as harmless as a cloud drifting in the sky
The I that steps back is the impersonal awareness 'I am'
It is the only truth that has exsisted from the time of birth
And can never be erased till this body perishes
Resting in the 'I am' is the only way out of the game
That the mind plays, acting as a veil of deception
The wise watch the mind,the ignorant become the mind
Wisdom has taken over,mind has retreated to its source
And everywhere I see the face of God.

NOW IS ETERNITY

    NOW IS ETERNITY  I live in the now and now lives in me It is now that masquerades as the me It is eternal and neither space nor time Exist outside of it for it contains all It is this moment where life happens And is the only moment that forever exists It has neither birth nor does it ever die It is not an existence which is perishable Nor is at an emptiness which is a mere void It has no color or form and enjoys no pleasure or suffers no pain It is the limitless container for it has no boundaries And the world arises and subsides in it. I am that and the world arises when I am in movement And disappears when I am at rest. N.S.Ramesh (poem)

THE SEEKER

  What is it that  I want? Seen it all to the mind's content  Yet I roam like the wind Not knowing where to go I have seen only petty pleaures That touch the heart but never fill it So transient and yet they repeat themselves  And bring only remorse and no fulfillment  Man's soul is pure and remains untouched The mind is fraught with desires unfulfilled  And he rummages like the musk deer Not knowing what he seeks is seeking him Mesmerised by all that appears, just a fleeting picture He knows not what the source of all appearance is And yet seeks and seeks till his last breath  Then wisdom dawns, that the seeker is the sought. N.S.RAMESH (poem)

A BROKEN TREE

      A BROKEN TREE A broken tree, which once had stood with pride Now ravaged by the onslaught of nature Has a lone flower sprouting from it With bright red petals and full of grace Standing amidst the broken ruins Tilting its face to blossom in sunshine Cheering the morning with its blushes Saying that nothing is broken forever Every life that has once been broken Can mend itself with love and hope A lesson learnt from the broken tree. N.S.Ramesh  (Poem)
