शोध

तुला माहित नसेल हे...

मी मनाचे कप्पे

बंद करुन ठेवले आहेत

त्यातील अवकाश फक्त

तुझ्याच आठवणींनी व्यापला आहे

तुला माहित नसेल हे

प्रत्येक येणारा श्वास

शरीरभर पसरतो तेव्हा

तो तुझेच गाणे गात असतो

तुला माहित नसेल हे

तुझ्याच विचारात रमत असताना

लवणारी पापणी सुद्धा

सतत तुझेच चिंतन करते

तुला माहित नसेल हे

माझ्या शरीरावरील प्रत्येक पेशी

तुला बघताच झंकारुन उठते

नि डोळ्यातून सूर्यकिरणे पाझरू लागतात

त्यानेच संपूर्ण विश्व प्रकाशमान होते

तुला माहित नसेल हे

तुझे नसणे जेव्हा अश्रूंचा

पूर होवून समुद्र बनते

तेव्हा किना~यावर आदळणा~या लाटा

सतत तुझेच नामस्मरण करतात

तुला माहित नसेल हे

जेव्हा तु खळाळून हसतेस

नि माझे कान तो नाद प्राशन करतात

तेव्हा पक्षांचा कोलाहल सर्वदूर पसरतो

आणि झाडांची सळसळ आसमंतात विरते

हे सारे मी अनुभवतो तर्कापलिकडले

पण तुला माहित नसेल हे...

वस्त्रे

जशी वस्त्रे बदलावी कैकदा

तशी बदलतात घट्ट नातीही

अर्थ काही केल्या लावता येत नाहीत

काही अर्थपूर्ण घटनांच्या तपशिलांचा

उमजते अचानकच की पिंपळपानालाही

जाळीदार बनण्यासाठी

झाडापासून विलग व्हावं लागतंच ना

तसाच आपल्या आयुष्याच्या

पिंपळपानाचा प्रवास असावा कदाचित

तुझ्यामुळेच घडलोय मी

हे नाकारणार नाहीच कधी

तसेच तू माझ्यावरचा

अधिकार सोडून दिला आहेस कधीचाच

मी मात्र बुडालोय

त्या जुन्या भासमान सत्याच्या भोव~यात

या भ्रमात की कालचक्र उलटे फिरेल

नि आपण भेटू नवीन उल्हासाने

विणताना नात्याचा गोफ घट्ट विणेचा -

उरतातच काही नाती

जी आपल्या आत्म्याच्या पटलावर ठसतात

नि सोबत करतात जन्मानुजन्मे

एका शरीरानंतर दुस~या शरीराचे

वस्त्र बदलत युगान्तापर्यंत...

शोध

मोजता येतात तारखा

पण थांबवता येत नाही

काळाचा उसळता प्रवाह

शोधता येतात चेहरे आपल्यांचे गर्दीत

पण कळत नाही कधीच

आपल्यांचे आपले न होता गर्दीत मिसळणे

सागरात ओंडके एकत्र येतात

नि काही काळानंतर कायमचे विलग होतात

तसेच आपलेही एकत्र येणे आणि दुरावणे असेल कदाचित

किती तो खटाटोप आपले काही असण्या

अथवा काही नसण्या बद्दलचा

हे विसरुन की आहेत मोजकेच श्वास प्रत्येकाला

उरी आपापली सुख-दुःखं बाळगत

जगरहाटी थांबत नाही कोणासाठीच

तीळ तीळ जीव तुटत राह्तो आपला

श्वास-उश्वासाची साखळी विस्तारत जाते

आणि बंदिस्त शरीरात आपण आपल्या

आठवणी घोळवत राहतो अनाहूतपणे सतत एकटेच

आयुष्याचा थांग लागणे अवघड....

जशी वा~याची मंद झुळूक

मुठीत पकडण्याचा प्रयत्न करावा

आणि स्वतःच स्वतःची पाठ थोपटावी

अथवा प्रेमाच्या अनंत आयामांना

आपल्या बुद्धिच्या चौकटीत

बंदिस्त करण्याची गुस्ताखी करावी

नि हे सगळं जाणतो मी म्हणत

क्षणोक्षणी पुन्हा पुन्हा सतत

तुला विसरण्याचा प्रयत्न करावा

आणि आपसूकच शोध चालू करावा

स्वतःचाच नव्याने

तुझ्या आठवणींच्या प्रकाशात...

तुझा मार्ग

तुला माझ्यासोबत चलायचे आहे का?

अनेक रस्ते मोकळे असतात चालण्यापूर्वी

पण एकदा पाऊल पुढे टाकल्यावर

पुन्हा मागे फिरता येत नाही

सोबत करतात फ़क्त आठवणी

तुझ्या बरोबरचा कोणताही मार्ग

चालायची माझी तयारी आहे-

काटेरी असो किंवा राजमार्ग

माझ्या काहीही अटी नाहीत

या पूर्वीही माझे पाय रक्ताळून बरे झालेत

फुलांनाही कोमेजावं लागतं कधी न कधी

हे काय ठाऊक नाही तुला?

तसेच आपलेही श्वास थोडकेच ना?

आजचं मरण उद्यावर एवढेच

ते तरी सुसह्य करुया ना

प्रकाश अस्तित्वात आहे म्हणजेच

अंधाराचे न असणे होय

तसेच प्रेमाचे अस्तित्व असणे म्हणजेच

दुःखाचे न असणे होय

म्हणून आजच ठरव "तुझा मार्ग"

"माझ्यासकट" वा" माझ्याविना"

ओळख

मी स्तब्ध होतो क्षणभर

ऋतू बदलतो आपली कूस

प्रत्येक क्षण तुझी आराधना करतो

निसर्गाचा पट उलगडत जातो

तू सामोरी येतेस

अर्थगर्भ जाणिवा विसावतात

मनातील घालमेल संपते

आणि अचानकच आभाळ निरभ्र होते

तू तर काहीच बोलत नाहीस

पण तरीही बरेच काही बोलून जातेस

मी तुझ्या गूढ वागण्याचा अर्थ लावतो

पण हाती काहीच लागत नाही

जेव्हा तू बोलतेस तसे वाटत राहते

अजून खूप काही बोलायचे राहीलेच आहे

समाधान कशानेच वाटत नाही

तहान काही केल्या मिटत नाही

जेव्हा तू दुरावतेस तेव्हा असे वाटते

की तू सोबतच आहेस

पण तू माझी काळजी बिल्कुल करु नकोस

तुझी अनुपस्थिती आणि माझा एकटेपणा

यांची ओळख अगदी जुनी आहे...

कोण जाणे...

बासरीचा सुरेल आवाज

मी साठवतो ह्र्दयाच्या गाभ्यात

आणि दूर क्षितीजावर

झिळमिळतो संधिप्रकाश

रात्र उमलते

चांदण्यांच्या फुलांची उधळण करते

आकाश उजळते

त्यांच्या किणकिणीने

सारी पृथ्वी लोप पावते

काळाचे गतिमान चक्र विसावते

मुसळधार पाऊस धुवून काढतो झाडं

जी डवरतात काळोखात मूकपणे

नदी दुथडी भरून

नागमोडी वळणांतून मार्गस्थ होते

नि पाणी जमिनीला सुपिक बनवते

पुढे पुढे जात राहते

या भिनलेल्या आसमंतात

मी ही अचानक लुप्त होतो

का कोण जाणे मग मला कसचीच आठवण नाही बोचत

-अगदी तुझी सुद्धा

स्वतंत्रतेची किंमत

सर्व नियम सहज ओलांडून

मी तुझ्यापाशी आलो

स्वतंत्रतेच्या महान तत्वाची

ओळख अधरपणे झाली मला

सर्वव्यापी प्रेमानं

मला असे काही लपेटलं

की मला जाणवला

माझाच विस्तार कक्षांपलिकडचा

अव्याहतपणे होत जाणारा

माझा स्वयंपूर्णतेनं

अल्हाद निर्मिला कधी तू

हे कळालंच नाही मला

कधी तुला काही द्यावे म्हटलं

तर तू अगदी निरिच्छ आभाळासारखी

माझे दोन्ही हात

तुला काहीही देण्यासाठी

फारच लहान पडताहेत

त्यातच तू एकटीच

अनाकलनीय मार्गावरुन जावू इच्छितेस

तुला थांबवण्याचे बल क्षीण होतेय

माझ्यापासून दूर तू पावले टाकत

पाठमोरी चालते आहेस कायमची

नि मार्ग,दिशा यांचा कोलाहल

माझ्या मनात दाटतो आहे

उच्चारलेले शब्द ओठातच आडकताहेत

माझ्यापुढे आहे अनंताचा

प्रवास तुझ्याविना

पण हीच का आहे

आपल्याला मोजावी लागलेली

स्वतंत्रतेची किंमत?

पाठमोरा

कित्येक वर्षांनंतर आज तू अशी समोर उभी

काळ खूप मागे सरलाय

तरीही जुन्या आठवणी अगदी

ताज्या नि ठळक वाटतात मला

जणू सगळं काही कालच घडलंय

खूप काही शिकावं लागलंय

तुझ्याकडून नकळत मला

पण नाही शिकू शकलो

उत्कटतेनं जगलेल्या गोष्टी सहजतेनं विसरणं तुझ्यागत

नि तुझ्या त्या खोट्या शपथा, ती स्वप्नं

वाटले तू काही तर शिकशील माझ्याकडून

ते निःस्वार्थ प्रेम- निरपेक्ष,

ते निसटत्या क्षणांवर जीव ओवाळून टाकणं अकारण,

कधी तुझ्या आठवणीच इतक्या जवळच्या

की तू ही त्यांच्याहून दूर असावीस कदाचित

पण आता तू डोळ्यातले अश्रू

नि मनातला कल्लोळ बनून राहीलीस

भावनांचा बांध फूटू नये म्हणून

मी आटोकाट प्रयत्न करतोय स्वतःवर ताबा ठेवण्याचा

त्यातच तू अचानकच समोर उभी

पाठमोरा उभा राहू दे मला

मला पुन्हा उद्ध्वस्त व्हायचं नाहीये!!!

The Voice of Humanity!!!

ULTIMATE FREEDOM

Enigmatic Rose

Petals of rose are bright red
As if thousand suns emitting rays around,
The petals inhale breath without hurting the thorns -slowly
While wind tries to spread the fragrance secretly.

The fluid in the veins of flower flows like overflowing River
Whose flow cannot be stopped with opposing forces ,
The innate flux of beauty in heart of rose is hidden in it’s bud
& it gradually propitiates revealing selfless essence without a word.

The thorns take care of the flower
Like wary guardians carefully look after a naïve rubicund daughter,
Heaven emerges on the Earth
While in night the rose absorbs moon rays ,I watch it I get mirth.

The moon from crescent changes gradually into a full moon
Seed is broken into wet soil & turns out into sprout of boon ,
Like wondrous morning ends darkest night & gives a ray of hope
The bud turns into a developed rose which can be attained with endeavors of nope.

Love!The rose mystically spreads mystery same like your magnificent eyes
Your virtue becomes distinct, warm & energetic like sun rise
Or secretive, cool and tranquil like beams of moon in skies
Let us bloom like the enigmatic Rose which crosses limit of words those can apprise!!!

HAVE YOU EVER……

Have you ever forgotten yourself
Into twilight’s chirping?

Have you ever experienced the
Gentle breeze at midnight?

Have you ever left yourself all alone
In an incessant rain?

Have you ever behold the setting sun at Zenith
Where the sky & the earth meet?

Have cascade of your feeling ever
Exploded on the verge of your mind?

Have you ever allowed to float your thoughts
Like bubbles moving upwards without resistance?

Have maelstrom of thoughts ever
Broke you down into tears?

Have fall of colors ever changed
The ambience of your soul?

Has stream of emotions bombarded
On your heart’s hard-rock callousness?

Have you ever forgiven someone
& turned out yourself into an ocean?

If answer is “yes” for any of above question,
We have strong reason to become friends!

Let us light the flame of happiness together!!!


HIDE & SEEK

Oh Sun! In Early morning
When world is half asleep,
You come into the sky from back of the Blue hills- slowly up,
Trees in dark turn out to be lush green,
& Then Birds singing- in hazy ambience-are seen,
They move & fly to touch the sky.

Oh Sun! In Afternoon, When you are on the top of the sky, Sky bows,
And your bright rays serves the world to work, dream & life grows,
Your golden chariot moves at pace and life becomes full of grace,
All beings become happy and make you praise.
My naked eyes cannot watch you until eve that ends up the day,
You show me the path and -like you let me alone- find my own way .

Oh sun! In the eve when you want to say good bye
I feel bad I don’t know why,
I pray that first-light should come up soon
But I miss you when in the sky there is moon,
Weather becomes cool and calm
I want & wait till morning it becomes again warm.

Oh! Sun!!! You are vivacious, bright & lively,
Give godsend of light to all beings impartially
You vanish but again come up into the sky,
To give a hope for life to all beings-still say goodbye
You play the game of hide and seek,
& Make me shine though I am self-effacing and meek!!!

Thousand thanks! Thousand Thanks!! Thousand thanks!!!

Temple of light

Oh! Life!!You are incomplete!!!
You have a meaning due to the death!!!

From the moment man is born
His life runs towards the unknown death,
The full stop.

The philosophy is
Not to separate both life and death,
Rather to dance on their merger.

The river of life when dissolves
Into the ocean of death,
One goes beyond the chaos of words
Into the realm of silence and stillness!!!

All human activities are having limitations of breath
To grasp the virtue arising into the light of death.
By leaps & bounds one has to cross boundary
Of The deep attachment to the body- which is abode of misery!!!

The events are uncountable & of pretentious timeframe
One lives for unknownly predefined life-length to each one without name,
Then why all the long run for the dreamy search with such a futile nature?
Let us stop for a while, think again, get detached & mature!!!

Let us get enlightened and have a clear vision,
Save each future breath for your life-aim beyond any division,
Towards Self-defined meaningful journey beyond fight &
Oh! Man!!Body worth of dust will be then a temple of light!!!

Lotus of blessings!!!

Sun sings a song of day &
Moon makes a poem of night,
Observer silently learns
Myths of nature’s play of dark & light.

River moves relentlessly
To get merged into a sea,
Unlikely when I speak with you
Instead of making a bond you make me free.

Trees detachedly provides
A cool shadow,
Nothing taking in return
Like you without much ado.

Road of life is short
Remaining breaths are less,
For the mistakes unknowingly I made
Please let me confess.

You are just great
In small and big moves,
My brain learning - seems to have
Lesser pace and small grooves.

I just cogitate
On what you suggest,
Adapt & apply the reality
As per your vision at my best.

Impossible is nothing for you
Ungraspable is your virtue,
Guide me master & show me the path
Let me go beyond vice and wrath.

My both hands are too small to give you anything
Words to adore you may have little meaning,
But feeling of respect for you is true
I just want a Lotus Of Blessing from you.


Threshold of the life

Every coming breath like striking tides in ocean
Hits on the shoreline of my heart ,
And gets converted as a past of mine with a great force
I try to stop those events, but Alas!!!

I try to hold & control my single breath for life-time but find myself immobilized
Then I realize that my immense willpower is just like a drop in ocean,
My endeavors of crafting self identity are abortive
My ignorance is huge & I am clumsy & like oaf -still self oriented.

Life and death are extreme ends and
I move like a pendulum in between the protean wishes -good and bad
Everywhere there is relativity in happiness and distress
Sky is limitless and I have only two little eyes to hold its enormousness.

My body and mind’s resources are scarce
Cosmos is infinite and time is irrevocable yet eternal,
I comprehend that no book can teach me life’s lessons
Experiences are mercurial & mind is tumultuous

It’s an unending journey either full of bliss or vicious, I really don’t know
But relations seem like wooden logs coming together in life-stream & disperse,
But where is love, compassion or bliss or even absolute truth-God knows
Still let me share a speechless truth that it is beyond threshold of life.



Gem Of Formless Trinity

Since genesis of very breath of one’s birth,
One is habituated to look outside,
There are varied forms consisting
In the non-ending prodigious cosmic space.

Everybody gets falsely inculcated that
The body vessel is only distinctive form of one’s creative self ,
Also the another parochial form is four walls in which one lives
While growing one gets attached with his parents and siblings
All these forms are weaved & evolved in one’s small world.

All know that on similar platform
Life of all human beings revolve,
All the friends sharing secrets or troubling enemies
Are going through similar phenomenon of change and clinging towards varying forms.

Then one wonders & asks what’s beyond this little life full of preferences of duality?
Is this all Or there is something yet to be understood?
That is expected to go beyond forms which so ever -smoothly- once for all.
Wisdom starts with the understanding of limitations of forms.

As we grow we understand that
Growth is life’s undeniable truth,
There is nothing constant except the change
Also Mind-Body combination changes each moment.

This understanding tells that melodies of “formlessness” is beyond sphere of change
Which includes all the forms and their manifestations in it’s womb,
So to understand that form is limited one must allow to attain chaste formless state
The state embraces all possible extremes and also living beings and nonliving things.

This inner gem of formless trinity includes love, knowledge & compassion
It is beyond personalization and human limitations,
That is the never-ending bliss offered by innermost shrine of nature’s forces
Then lastly you understand with silent amazement that you are the world!!!


Ultimate freedom

Desire is an enemy of happiness
It blocks the holy action which is best yet reasonless,
There is run for results without understanding the right way of life
Why to follow the competition that creates delusion & disharmony?

Like sophomore I am ignorant
Time is cruel who cuts the throat & waits for none,
Life is in dark abeyance & disparity
timeless beauty is for very few who live in light.

I stand up with my face directing towards the sun in the sky
And my eyes closed are like treasure untouched,
My dark shadow stands straight back of my body
Yet one waits for golden rays to pour into the center of my being

But When with your presence- gleam of light- shines my gloomy heart’s nook
Golden stream of love from sky dances around the body,
flute of reed starts music of happiness with every coming breath
The un-spotteble energy opens up channels in body & go beyond desire.

O man!If you are full of creativity
even pain is converted into happiness & all pressures subside naturally
With only omnipotent love & ingenuity,
Then bond dissolves into ultimate freedom.

MOHONK(OASIS IN THE SKY)

And Oh!...........

You Came like sunshine
Into my life
And opened the doors of mind
Which were closed for ages.

You smiled on the treacherous world
And healed me through
Your wisdom and love.

You came like a magical fresh wind
Which cleared all the dust
That was gathered on my life
Since my birth.

You broke up the shackles
Tightened by the world
And gave me new wings to fly
In wide open limitless sky.

Once just once you come
Again into my life
At least for a second
And I will protect that moment
Throughout my life.

You have vanished never to come back
Without keeping a slightest trace
And Oh! The difference to me!!!
And Oh! The difference to me!!!



Journey

Master! Bless me with the absolute truth
Nothing less will quench my thirst.

I want to go beyond all the relativity of this world
I want to go beyond sorrow.

Be a light until nature
Burns a flame into my heart.

Be a real friend until
I trust in humanity.

Give me a courage to transcend
All the negativity around me.

Forgive me until I super cede hate.

Be flawless so much that
I will learn to discipline myself.

Support me so much that
I would not dare to ditch anybody.

Forgive my mistakes so much that
I will be compassionate.

Trust me so much that
You will make a man out of me!

Ultimately let me be free
So I can dare to prove my self

And I will able to find
The reason of my journey here!!!



More…..

At the time of dusk
When that saffron disk
In the sky melts at horizon,
It’s splendid existence
Which dissolves in your
Lucid wondrous eyes,
I intensely hold that
Into my being.

Then I try to hold the breath
And guzzle “The Sunbeams”
Through your eyes.
That nectar satiates me totally.

I surpass the ephemeral reality
Leading to an eternal odyssey,
By that inner fuelling,
Along with you.

My breath becomes vital
For your respiration
And your energy rejuvenates me
With every coming breath of your life.

The piercing beams resonate my heart,
Captures & unleash
The intrinsic reserves of creation.
I speechlessly hold your hands in mine,
Feel your presence more deeply,
More & more deeply………….

More
& more
& more……………
.....………..deeply.

Oh! Beautiful Life….

Oh! Beautiful Life,
I don’t complain any more.
I have realized that
After you close one door
You open another.
As one season ends
New season comes.
Relations take a new turn
All the time.

Oh! Beautiful Life,
I don’t compromise.
You have provided
An abundant nature.
She plays a new plot
Each moment.
Myself is just an observed
Rather than an observer
& now there is a bliss every where.

Oh! Beautiful Life,
I just wonder and stunned with you,
Though I am just a cog of wheel
In all your play;
You endowed me with an infinite life energy.
I owe you for just being as you are,
Oh! Beautiful Life……….!

Only Then…..

Lord! Free Myself
From the golden cage of this body,
My path is full of thorns
& with every coming breath
Unforeseen challenges
You are throwing at me.

This struggle has taught me a lot,
But is it the way of life?
Where is your law of life and death working?
Show me your existence
Which will heal wounds at my heart.

My feet are bleeding with
Thorns in my path.
Still I will not complain
About what you have not given me
And I will thank for every thing I have got.
Hope it will prove that you are impartial.

But if you really are omnipotent and loving
Let the riches be kind, poor be strong,
World be utopia & every soul experience peace.
ONLY THEN….. I WILL PRAISE YOU!!!


Reason!!!

As like sun and moon rise and set,
As like tides in sea come and go,
As like wind changes the direction every moment,
As like rain freshens the air and vanishes,
As like dews in an early morning has no presence in the noon,
As like blinking stars can be seen only at night,
As all upheavals in Nature are irrevocable and momentary
But has a role and Fate

Similarly our friendship in this short life is having role and fate in the realm of time.
For that reason it is precious to me!!!


THE FINAL DESTINATION!!!!

Oh Lord!!! You threw me into
A horrifying sea suddenly,
Without giving me any support.
I was just like an infant
in front of your immense power
And hardly I could find any valid reason
Why you have done this!!!

I had no inkling how to swim,
You gave me a chance to breath lastly
And I started to move my hands and feet
Into the water with a tremendous fear.
But what a mystery, The Nymph saved me!!!


Some days passed and fire’s focused flame
Burnt my fingers and I screamed
With a stark unbearable pain.
Still I was just a naïve child to know your plans.

That had left a scar on my heart
Which was beyond healing.
But that wound taught me
Not to play with the fire
& rather I learned to focus like the flame!!!

When I became a part of the world full of chaos,
The wild throng tried to deter me.
I was too young to face
And subside the storm emerged within me!!!

I cried with an utter despair
And no one was able to soothe that storm.
After every thing over, I was sitting
All alone and in quietude, emptily watching,
The stars shining & blinking in the dark abysmal sky.

I thought for a while in solitude
And found that your light has reached to me
And made me shine like a little scintillating star!!!


At the very crucial point in life, as last chance to live-
You led two irreversible paths before me
And to choose only one out of itè
One full of thorns & barriers
-Another full of flowers, yet mirage in itself!!!

Now I was grown up and well aware of your plans.
I chose the first one without complaining
And for no reason.
I know I don’t have plenty of breaths remaining to leave this body
And whenever any one among thousands wants to choose
The same path of truth,
Then my blood stains on this path will accompany & encourage him to proceed
Until his last breath of the life towards the “Ultimate Truth”,
Which means “The final destination”!!!

The Mystiques of love
The song of silence
Is stormy and obscure,
The senses are too little
To comprehend its sublime intricacies.

And with a great force,
I am thrown at the center of my being,
Which seems to be a harbinger
Suggesting new happenings, I think.

This changing season of my soul
Breaks my self-made ruts,
The shackles of thoughts around me
Are suddenly dropped,
My groping in darkness comes to an end & I fly.

A “New Breath” comes in form of “You”
& I allow to happen that
All unusual auspiciousness
To dance around me.

I astonish to forget all
the surrounding existence,
The cosmic laws, I transcend.
My heart throbs and pounds
While wounds on Time’s old body
Are healed as we merge
into the mystiques of love.




Through Your Eyes….

When you open up
Your sunny eyes
And spread the moon rays
Of your unstained body
Slowly around my soul,
My breath stops
And gathers the fragrance of
Your possessive presence
Into my heart-so deeply-
That there is no existence
Of mine any more.

As in the dark night
The clandestine of full moon
Covered by cloud is transpired unknowingly,
Similarly I discover you
And the stream of thoughts pauses for a while
Converting itself into
An unstable whirlpool,
Turning me silently into an utter destruction.

Now I try to find the bond
I have with you-
Was it from eons?
Or is it as fresh as petals
Of newly bloomed lotus?
I can hardly come to any answer
So look unto you if you know that.
You just look into my eyes & smile,
As if all my questions have been answered.
Then onwards, I try to grasp the Beauty of Life
Through
Your lucid panoramic eyes with

a vision of vista
of world that seems mysterious MOHONK(Oasis in the sky)!!!
