Remember

At the end of the working day,
Starting journey back home I say,
My honest prayer to you Mother Divine,
I see in my mind your Brightness shine.

I recall all that did happen,
Also the day’s tasks left undone.
The day’s results affirm my belief,
On my appeal you came to my relief.

My stupidity only makes me forget,
The rules, for devotees, that you have set.
Whoever earnestly invokes your grace,
Dire difficulties he can easily face.

Why then still I ever ignore,
To seek your help, make performance pure.
I implore to my mind to remind,
Your ceaseless presence I must always find.

Local Train

I see lots of faces gazing ahead
Some are sullen, pale but rarely red.
Why these remain in awkward gloom?
Why can’t faces like flowers bloom?

They think perhaps of forthcoming destination
With waiting problems and grave vexations.
Or some quarrels, they left at home
Which remain with them like a gnome.

I shall be happy to see them change
Their negative attitude; and enter a bright new positive range

Contemplate you must
On priorities first
Let not opportunity lose
Work on subjects just
Give objectives appropriate thrust
Rely on your morning Muse.

Mind is fresh and Pure
Great ideas it can secure
Creative solutions it will bring
Focussing your thoughts, you are sure
Direction you gain; better results will pour
Like many precious chosen pearls in a string.

Rely readily on your ‘Morning Muse’
She will bring benefits unique, you will never refuse!

Inconsiderate

I remember a father’s tale
All his efforts did fail
To resolve a small dispute
Wishes of his son did daughter refute.
There was a small cake
Daughter wanted bigger portion
The son said that he would take
Father wondered why
Can’t on earth and under the sky
Both be reasonable
And keep their temper stable
Why don’t they just accept?
That equality is the best.
Simple plan he thought
Cake cutting knife, he brought.

Asked both to have each one choice
Both must be quiet and soften the voice.
One will cut the cake
Other will choose the piece
Peace, thus father did make.

Desire to fight for selfishness sake
Among grown-ups grows while awake.
Why can humans show just consideration?
For fellow human beings and cultivate lasting relations?

Human Birth

Said He, the Almighty to Arjuna
“You have been born many times before
And so have I; this is the knowledge core
You don’t know now, your yester-births
Purpose of your previous life, its turmoils or mirths
I, the Omniscient, do know whatever happened then,
For the continuity of humanity what to do, and when.
So I come to be amidst my ‘ human creation’ great
A life which can achieve anything; doesn’t have to wait.
For this creation of mine has features unique
With least-efforts; one can conquer spiritual peak
Of perfection that draws you closer to Me
Salvation you achieve as salvation can be”

(translated in English from the great epic The Gita)

Justice

Where in life does justice reside?
Except natures law it abides
Why big fish eats the small one, who knows
The fittest survives so the message flows.

Poets from past were always surprised
Some thought deep; others surmised
Mathematical equation; justice does not rely
Yet injustice is neither latent nor implied

Poetic justice is what life cannot give
It is too simple on which world cannot live
The great justice of the Almighty
Is a continuous flow
Seen in parts you miss but seen in
Totality it glows.

Machine Brain

When human brain the apex
Creation of the greater,
Has lost the cherished values
Of love, compassion, generosity
And has become jealous,
Greedy and ruthless.
Who will the balance between
The evil and the good
Between the angels and the deamons
Maintain?
Who will remain uncorrupted
By the fatal temptations
Of wealth inference and power?
Will the mechanical Brain
Reign supreme?
How could it hold compassion
And be generous to the poor and needy?
To me it seems
Machine lacks values
But it is not greedy
So it sets the parameters of performance
And allows unattached soul,
To set clear the foundation code.
Could the Machine Brain be the Creator’s next
Representative on earth?

Betrayal

Suddenly his small happy world
Came to end
How could he ever think?
That the family so closely knit
Could ever scatter like the
Dry leaves of an autumn tree
Leaving the branches bare
In this selfish, seekers’ world
Traditional family bonds; who cares?

His adult son was stunned
His entire courage was gunned
His daughter was drowned in grief
No one to give solace; no where to find relief.

Twenty two years of togetherness
And seemingly smooth relationship
So fragile these, to create such a mess
Tearing apart their peace without any tip.

Attitude

Every tide yields to an ebb.
Every high heralds a low
Storm in sea secures a calm
These are nature’s fluctuations, which flow.

Day fades to fetch the night
Until it is morn again.
Spring softens winters worst bite
Happiness returns without a stain.

Success and failure are intertwined
Joy for ever; you will never find.

Life does depend on what you do
More than that, it is your attitude.

Life and Literature

Literature reflects Life
Peoples’ pleasures; their strife
Their leisures, and their love
What lies below what is above.

What is treated right and the wrong
What is sad and what comprise a happy song.
The writer writes what he sees
Painter paints the locks; his own keys.

Architect conceives building unique
His own vision; emerging technique
Drawn from the life of the Day
The core experience of his survey.

Musician does his music score
What the audience would want more
Yet some others think right ahead;
On their visions; future is led.
