Roots
Roots
I grew up listening lullaby sung
By my grandpa & waking up with
Yells of neighbour who used to call
My mother to cut grass in a forest
I remember mother reading letter
Sent by my father from platoons,
Me and my brother dancing in merry
In his return as he always used to
Carry bag full of love for us, It was
Bliss but I always used to wonder..And
I was dreamy from the start I confess!
Sometimes I used to lose my things,
And at night I used to dream about it, &
In the morning, going to the exact place
Where I dreamt I used to find it, As I grew
I learned it's a prophetic dream, since then
Magic always fascinate me, I started
Believing in magic and mystery, and
I guess I was faithful disciple as one Day
When "Guru Ma" taught me in Balvikas that we have to be thankful to nature,
That we must share little to her before
We eat and foolishly I served in a plate
And placed it in front of deity.
I remember climbing hills for schools
With my brothers and friends who were
Of course my neighbour, they were
Follower of "Sat Pal Ji Maharaj" and
We used to say "Sai Baba" and he had competitions to reach to the moon and
Sai Baba won..This cute little rival and competitions that are implanted in our roots is root of all evilistic deeds...
Right from primary we were taught to compete but why? Don't we have our
Consciousness? Ain't we rather try to
Find a way to live harmoniously, to serve
Equality, to eat what everyone is eating?
This whole concept of competitions is
Supposed to be for animals and not for Post modern Human, as it is roots of all
Envy, Jealousy, Invasions, imperialism,
And killings that we're seeing in Sri Lanka,
New Zealand, India in fact everywhere...
We are taught to be perfect and in the
Process of being perfect, living perfect life we end up losing our own purity, you see
These kind of people walking in ties and everywhere... Don't say you don't! But
Whatever it may be! How dark it may seem dear, just like clouds can't actually belittle beauty of the moon- "Darkness
can't be dimmed light of the Moon"
You keep on shining don't compete with star to glow more vivid nor with the Sun..
You just glow sincerely, honestly, whether
You are flying or drowning in the chaos,
Crying in the coldness of the night or waking up with a coffee in a bed with a love by your side, or rotting in a jail..
Remember your root and as you connect With your roots don't forget to go beyond
That roots and on & on.. And you'll realize
Root is flowing in your veins it is in your
DNA....and what you want to sow for
Offsprings is in your hand too so be humble, kind and full of love and purity..
Don't hold just flow! You are not only
Biological but chemically connected to whole cosmos....Remember before
You plant trees in Environment day or
Join NGOs for a certificate to get a job.
Make sure you have love for trees and those homeless poors, then only change
Will occur my dears. Don't let those misinterpreted happiness we see in stories, those foolish debates in Tv's and
Internet fool you, wake up dear, don't forget that you are miracle and everything
Is connected- "You breathe air made of light as you are light too! So shine! Dear shine being alive and "Don't just survive stay alive" being grounded to your roots, Going Beyond that roots then only you'll realize that we are infinite in this infiniteness..
