There are other Gods too

There are other Gods too

There are skies above this sky

Not only are you a footling*

There are other gods too

Only priests we see, you aren’t seen ever

Though, your places and offerings to you in name only

There are skies above this sky too

Were thirty three billion deities not enough?

Now you are praying humans too

Earlier they were rooted in Ashrams

Now seated in jails

There are skies above this sky too

Those who were taking my room’s ceiling as my sky

Are now tensed to see me at rooftop

There are skies above this sky too

Academics, then a job and you think you are passed

Now, there are exams of humanity ahead

There are skies above this sky too

कराह

तुम्हारी उम्रों के पैर थके हुए नजर आते हैं कि वो चल रही हैं सफर अपना, और बहुत लाज़मी भी है बातों का उसी तरह घटित होना जैसा कि उनको होना है तुम्हारे वहाँ होने से जहाँ कि तुम हो भल...

To The Ever-flowing River

Both the banks of ever-flowing river of consciousness Are both the ends of All this of the existence, Not aloof they remain ever in the voyage One end of the matter And of consciousness another! We not ever may touch, The same water again in the Ever-flowing river as of the river of Being It keeps on changing ever and ever To the one end is the knower And the known is another end From the surface to the Fathomless bottom Only pervades is the river alone The river of the Only knowledge, Truth Envelops the known end the knower At the boundryless field Of the silence of no-mind With a constant hammering of The I into I And both the ends disappear Remains is the ever flowing river Of the One, sole river of knowledge At the end of the journey as a flame rises above, By the nature of its intrinsic; Shrinks the One end of the self And merges to remain none To the other end of the Self (In the ...
