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)

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)

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)
