Here It goes .......

Here it goes , this way that way ,

sailing through the river , to meet the bay.

it's eager to find out, what waves do say ?

where does the ocean ends up,

and in it where does the river stay ?

How pearls are formed in shells ?

at once or day by day .

do the shells too cry out ?

when the pearls are lost and empty they lay.

and the ever silent sand coasts

are of course so peaceful

but is their heart too silent?

they are sad or are gay ?

Here it goes, this way that way .

allover the earth, with the warm sunray .

its eager to find out, what the deads have to say ?

after losing this beautiful life .

for what, do they pray ?

do they want another life ?

or just sleep silently below the clay ?

and in that undisturbed darkness,

of course they are in peace.

but are they sad or gay ?

In Search of peace

In search of peace,

         i went to the lands of the deaf and dumb.

i thought they can't shout, they can't hear.

         so there will be no noise to break the peace.

i was taken by surprise, to find no peace there.

         they were less of peace, as they could not just express

their pains and hidden fears, and so they shut their doors

         when i asked the address of peace.

In search of peace,

       i went to the land of rich men.

i thought they have all luxuries and all sort of comforts

      so they might be dwelling in peace.

Alas! i returned hopeless from there

       as all of them lost peace , in acquiring more riches

and spend and save as much and so,

       no peace for me in the rich men's land.

In search of peace,

      i went to the land of poors.

i thought they earned nothing and nothing they saved.

      so no fear of loosing and peace might prevail.

one more vague attempt of mine to find out peace

      the cry of hunger and sickness haunted me.

and i lost even that peace which i already had.

In search of peace.

       i ran through mountains, desserts, plateaus and plains

but all i could find out, was worries, problems, sadness and pains.

      infinite causes leading to loss of peace existed allover

and even vacuum was vacuumed of peace was what i learnt.

i returned to my couch, and lay with despair.

    i closed my eyes and asked the supreme where's peace ?

i was answered , as soon as i took his name.

    i found little peace lying within me, the moment i relaxed.

all i needed was to be myself and give myself some time

    and connect to my lord who is supreme and divine.

the moment of surrender is where the peace is hidden.

    for peace is not external it is completely soul driven.

मेरी प्रार्थना

हे प्रभु मेरी प्रार्थना सुन ले

मेरे मैं को हर ले , स्वयं में कर ले

अभिमान रहित कर दे

हे प्रभु मेरी प्रार्थना सुन ले ।

हे प्रभु मेरे हृदय में वास कर

तम रूपी लोभ का, क्लेष का क्रोध का

विकारों का द्वेष का , ईषया का आवेश का अंत कर

प्रकाश रूपी शांति का, बुद्धि का, धैर्य का

विवेक का संतोष की स्थापना कर

हे प्रभु मेरे हृदय में वाश कर ।

हे प्रभु मुझे स्वयं सा सशक्त कर

मैं सह सकु और प्रबल बनु

मैं रण में अभिमन्यु बनु तो प्रण में पितामह

सारथी बनु तो कृष्ण सी , परमार्थी तो सूर्य सी

सीखु तो एकलव्य बनु  सिखiऊँ तो गुरु द्रोणा

दान करू तो कर्ण बनु, बलिदान करू तो दधीचि

हे प्रभु मुझे स्वयं सा सशक्त कर

हे प्रभु मेरी प्रार्थना सुन ले ।
