Its me and my world

  She is from the land of the Vedas And the place of the brightest sages A land soaked by spirituality and devotion for thousands of years Even though the energy has ebbed a bit And the land has almost lost its former glory Due to generations of onslaught by violent tribes Which robbed its purity and denigrated its soul There was still “something” left Enough to let the presence shine Due to changing tide, She left this sacred place To come to an odd new land A land so beautiful yet lacking its soul A land grotesqued by crude materialism Her heart bled, and her soul cried She lost her rhythm And her spirit slowly began to die Until she discovered the part that was hidden She discovered that the new odd land can be loving and charming That it can surprise her in stunning ways And prove to be the perfect bed to sow the seeds of forbearance, perseverance , will, love, wisdom & care And she saw herself to be becoming the woman that she always wanted to be Now she can not but be gratefu

Oh you silly ego You think you know! That’s right, you only “think you know” Because the seed of knowingness is hidden in the tenderness of the heart It’s the heart which gives birth to awareness You want to prove Grab , possess & show off And love to play this game of one-upmanship This leads to a desert called “nowhere” Heats the head and bleeds the soul The heart which is drenched in love & wisdom is free and strong And it can fill cracks Heal wounds Join minds Create a life of celebration You silly ego Silly you will always be And one day you will get this truth Walking on the path is walking from head to heart And the GIVER is always BIGGER ! ~ Sujala 31st Mar, 2023

Finding your place under the sun can be tricky Especially if you do not conform If you are a little offbeat A little unusual, a little differnt But my heart leaps up with indescribable joy And warms up with gratitude beyond words To know that I have found your hand to hold me To gently nudge, push and pull And that the universe has chosen to reveal itself in all its glory To me Bit by bit That I am the chosen one One of the cherished ones of the divine To be walking the path I do feel lost even now, once in a while The boat of life can become a bit rocky And water can come up right up to my nose, but no further Your reassuring presence wraps all my senses To comfort me in all its tenderness To remind me That my unusualness is my greatest gift And I am still a cherished one of the divine ~ Sujala 29 th Mar, 23 

  The river of life flows on moment to moment The grief of separation migle with the ecstasy of union One moment a rainbow And the next moment, a dark thundering cloud Sometimes the purity of joy and love And some other times, despondency of hatred, anger and jealousy  The highs of life dance with lows with ease Oh, what a contrast! But the river never stops flowing  Almost oblivious of what it brings to its beholders Unfaltering in its singleton mission  To merge , dissolve and dissapear ~ Sujala, 23rd Mar 2023

 Of all the things sweet in my life If I have to pick the sweetest The honor will surely to the feeling when I am meditating When everything else softens The thoughts and the feelings The memories and the events fleeting When the depth and the expanse of the present moment reveals itself When I am there and yet not quite And the warmth and the glow of my own being wraps around me And I am but left with a throbbing titillation And a sweetness so pure, so palpable That I am simply bursting with love, peace and happiness When "I only am"  ~ Sujala , 23rd Mar 2023

  I found this resplendent beauty Tucked away in a corner Petals soft creamy & white Delicate and fragile AND YET Holding waves of grace, peace and strength in her bosom Blossoming in her full bloom in a lonesome place Unmindful that her strength and beauty will largely go unnoticed. AND How long more do I have to wait before I become her Before I stop craving for others’ validation for small things Before I become so serene, strong & centered That I treat glory and meanness the same way… How long more … ~ Sujala , 10th Mar, 2023
