What Is Wrong With Me?

I do not understand at all
What is wrong with me after all
I frequently get a flash
Which cleanses my mind with a splash
I suddenly become strong and powerful
And wield in my hand a big rifle
Then keep rapidly shooting
Not clear where I am hitting
Sometimes, it appears, it’s my anger
Another time it’s my languor
Once it’s an enemy
Then it’s my own envy
Every time I shoot
I am happy and afloat
I really do not know
It started when and how
Is it a kind of ‘flu’?
Please tell me if you have any clue!

Victory

My victory lies in conceding -
To the true
To the righteous
To the virtuous
My victory lies in losing-
To wisdom
To maturity
To rationality
My victory lies in listening-
To my inner self
To my conscience
To my self-restraint
My victory lies in surrendering-
To the Omnipotent
To the Omniscient
To the Almighty
My victory lies in winning over -
My body…my senses…and….myself!

Happiness

Man is always worried
As if his happiness is buried
If one problem is solved
Another he gets involved
Life is trapped in troubles
And in an abode of struggles
Every time he gets dejected
When his desires are rejected
Disappointment after disappointment
And there is no sight of fulfilment
Wasn’t man born happy?
Then why is he always unhappy?
When born he had no belongings
But now he has many longings
If he loses any of his possessions
He loses all his wisdom and senses
As long as he longs for more
There is no end to his sore
Is there no way out?
Yes there is a way out
But not out side you
It is inside and within you
If you feed yourself with happiness
Instead of desire and greediness
You can find pleasure and cheer
Within you and everywhere
Let us don’t search –
For something outside
When it is available right inside!

Silent Whispers

I need silence!
Pin drop silence!
Let me here –
The music of the winds
Played in myriad tunes;
The songs of the birds
Sung in numerous voices;
The speech of wild animals
Spoke in different languages;
The roar of the oceans
Told in clear terms;
The vibrations of the Earth
Sent day in and day out;
The messages of other Planets
Transmitted through cosmic waves;
The hints of the aliens
Passed on to the humans;
I get clear suggestions,
And also definite warnings -
From the Nature…
From the Universe…
They are all pleading -
To be careful and considerate
To the brittle and fragile environment -
For fresh air and clean water
For our own health…
For our survival on this Earth!
