THE STORYTELLER.

   THE STORYTELLER 

When I wake up in the morning
My mind is slow and  quiet.
The walk and meditation create the illusion of a happy day.
When  the mind wakes up from slumber,
It makes me dance to its tunes.
The mind is  but a storyteller.
Starts its work as the day moves on,
In fear of extinction, it makes its play.
And makes one believe that not all is well.
Belief in the mind is the cause of grief,
But the soul knows that all is well.
Right and wrong are in the mind's domain.
It judges harshly, for it is made that way.
The soul is wise and full of light
 And is beyond the realm of the mind ,    
 A bundle of thoughts,that rise and fall
Conditioned by what it percieves through the senses.
When mind is transcended,Peace prevails.

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)
