In this investiture of fleshly life A soul that is a spark of God survives . And sometimes it breaks through the sordid screen And kindles a fire that makes us half-divine. Savitri, Book 11, Canto V

Love Divine

"Lo! here are flowersand benedictions!
Here is the smile of divine Love!
It is without preferencesand without repulsions.
It streams out towards all in a generous flow and
never takes back its marvellous gifts!"

It's a landmark day in human consciousness.
Only this much I like to say.

the poet of the forest

'Poetry is written by words and not by ideas'-Mallarme

And the words are conceived in sounds.


PS: Personally I am not at unison with Mallarme. He knew the half truth.

A tree and Calcutta Medical College

While walking down a street beside the Calcutta Medical College and
Hospital-the tree caught my eyes. So I took it. I'm not at all
interested in buildings-but I could not separate the tree that unlike
me loved the building.
The building is more than hundred years old. It is one of the several
wards. It was built by the British.

sincere self giving

The plant is there in a round clay pot -existing without care and
attention in the backyard of my house. I discovered it in this way in
the morning.

the ascetic

Standing before a boundless vast-it sheds everything an individual can
retain and thus being unburdened of everything- it wins all.

The wind coming from over the infinite ocean touches it!

slender water-fall

like a slender water- fall rolling over the stones of a hill for a destination

A question

Suddenly, in an idle moment,rose a sweet memory of a lost past. It
carried with it a question -"Was it irrelevant then?"

I have been trying to find an answer. Perhaps the question will never
die or cease to exist.

my dream is green

I can not dream when I'm asleep. I dream only when I'm awake. When I
dream -the world becomes green.

In reality -let it be greener.

I'm one

It's only being alone in my inner self I can stretch myself to you all
in delight.
Otherwise I would have been unknown forever.

birds and their morning sun

Some birds suddenly came out from my mind in the morning. This flock
of birds were delighted in the touch of a morning imagined by the sun
-lit by my mind.

mind's own reality

"When I see something in a world of my mind-it's also real. I know
that there are worlds -more beautiful than the eyes meet in reality.
The so-called reality is a habit in limitation.
And mind that- the whole creation comes from the imagination of the
Supreme in his delight. I owe him for my imagination. Now I have been
paying-like you all, that was owing."
Dyuman

PS: But this not a good imagination.
