Tsunami of the Mind

Tsunami of the Mind

Tidal waves started to roar in the ocean

One wave raises in the form of knower

One wave raises in the form of known

One wave raises as means of knowledge

'As though' Brahman appears as many

'As though' water appears wavy

'As though' tsunami hits the shore

'As though' whirlpool of conflicts roar

I surrender to that intelligence

That creates universal experience

I surrender to all names and forms

I surrender by joining both the hands

I surrender to that supreme doer

I surrender to that supreme sustainer

I surrender to that supreme resolver

That all knowing limitless existence

That which is unchanging in all three periods

That which is non negatable in all three periods

That which is the Lord of all groups

That which is the intelligence behind all groups

That which governs five sense organs

That which regulates organs of action

That which is responsible for all thoughts

That which makes one, a knowing being

Guru calms the the tidal waves

Guru calms even tsunami waves

Guru releases the knots of conflicts

Guru releases the samsara matrix

Blue ocean is pleasant and wavy

Space and time make the path curvy

Understand the reality in this movie

Play the role without being choosy

Just Be ( Summa Iru)

Just Be (Summa Iru) As I sat in the weekly satsangs on Ramana Maharshi, Bhagavan’s question echoed within me: “When are you coming to Tiruvannamalai?” That question did not remain a question for long. It ripened itself. The long vigil of Maha Shivaratri, chanting the Ramana Tamil parayanam and the 26th chapter of the Ribhu Gita, deepened the saṅkalpa into something steady and irreversible. After a week-long Vedanta camp in Rishikesh, the journey unfolded almost on its own. Flights were booked. A car was arranged from Chennai. For the first time, plans were made not for the world or family, but for the Self. And in that sincerity, something remarkable happened: the universe did not resist. No one in the family objected. It was as if life itself stepped aside. Despite war and unrest disrupting travel across the world, when asked, “Are you still going?” the response arose effortlessly: “If it has to happen, it will.” In the bustle of Rishikesh, the mind wandered through sense objects...

A Tale of Two birds

A Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a coo coo here, and a coo coo there, Here a coo , there a coo , Everywhere coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a glub glub here, and a glub glub there , Here a glub, there a glub , Everywhere glub glub ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature, It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Exit from Abhimanyu Syndrome

Exit from Abhimanyu Syndrome Should I sleep away from the drama of the world, Or awaken to the stillness in which it appears? Should I wake up from the dream of the waking state, where name and form parade as truth? Or accept them as they are? Should I stop attempting to rewrite the script of life? Or engage in the scenes of the play with a playful attitude? Should I stop projecting a personal movie, Or recognize that I am the light that makes all images possible? Should I reject the world as a mere phenomenon? Or release identification with body and mind? Should I rest in the wisdom of internal calmness ? Should I be that mystical Swan meandering gracefully in the water abiding in self right now? If not I, Who will see this? If not now, When will this seeing occur? Who am I is the question of Viveka What am I up to is the question of Vairagya When there is nowhere to go, and nothing to attain, I dwell in these questions, not seeking answers, for the questions themselves are...
