Play Cricket forever



Play Cricket Forever

 Opening batsman enters the field

 Strikes the ball with a high yield

 Knower of Brahman is Brahman itself

 Knocks off the ignorance from the shelf


Batting the balls of rāga and dveśa

Scoring the runs of śama and dama

Get some fours and sixes on the bay

Wide scoring with no ball on the way


Special existence free of time and space

Sentience full of knowingness and grace

Source of joy forever, it is you

You are sat chit ananda, that is true


Know the jagat kāranam without dosha 

Take a five-wicket haul of the pancha kosha

Jagat is the stomping ground for jivās to play

Brahman 'became' many in a nice array


You may ask  'Howzat' loudly to revalue

Cosmology has great entertainment value 

Entry happens just as one enters the house

Transactions happen based on upādhi


Imperishable and perishable coexist  

Witness resolves when nothing to witness

Recognize within the dark, damp cave 

Remove the doubts of mold and mildew 


Manage the deposits of stalagmite and stalactite 

Manage the desires without being stumped

Aham aham is the I sense, very near and dear

See the cause in all effects with lot of cheer


For some, the lifestyle is a one day match 

For others, the lifestyle is a long test match

Catch the inner light and play the game

Watch the game with no shame or fame

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...

Opening the Inner Temple of Knowledge

Opening the Inner Temple of Knowledge The rain falls at the Bay, yet no single drop claims authorship. Clouds gather -dense and dark, but none declares, “I give.” Oceans rise as vapor, trees breathe out their offering, sunlight fuels the cycle— and yet none stands apart as the doer Where does money truly flow from? From the labor of the body? From the power of thought? From the ego that claims ownership? Who is the giver? Who is the receiver? The body moves, the mind conceives, the ego asserts— while I simply witness. Everything resolves in Me- There is no separate giver, no separate receiver all arise as one, within one,  from one. When everything arises from one indivisible source, the giver and receiver dissolve; Action happens, without an actor Aim for Seva continues , the window of opportunity lights up from within, the door of the inner temple opens to the truth of knowledge.

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
