Rajender Krishan's Solitude And Other Poems

Who are you, Who am I? , Asked I And came it the answer, Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Tvam Asi? The Ashokan rock edict Read it, What is dhamma? , Which but reverberated it, Resounded it Giving way to the sense Of righteousness and nyaya. Human life A cycle of birth and death Is a journey Leading to here and beyond So full of karma and dharma Pulsating with Prana Which is now, Which is not. But human mind trying to Comprehend Cosmic Consciousness With the Spark of Light Thinking in terms of Karma, Bhoga, Prayaschita And Nirvana and Moksha. The duality of I and You, You and I Leading to theological discourses And debates Which seem to be unending And he trying to grapple with The Maya-Moha of the Samsara. The world as you see, The world as I see, A world as felt, As experienced by us You and I, I and You And shared with, Gnana shared. And as thus sparked it, Glared and glowed it The Light, Illumined it, The Lamp of Light, Burning it, Dispelling darkness, Struggling with darkness To give it Light. What Prurusha, what Prakriti, Purusha-Prakriti concept, How the Lingam-Yoni myth, In which cave burning it The Light, Sadhaks doing sadhna, Lost in, The heights of transcendental meditation. The words Om, Om, AUM, Hari Om, AUM Reverberating, A beautiful morning with Dew-laden petals appearing, Dispelling darkness, The lotus of morning opening With Om, Om, Hari Om, Om Shantih ShantihShantih. Sat Chita Ananda, Satchidananda, Kailash, Mansarovar, The snow-capped peaks, blue waters, Swans floating, Where to go, Where to search, Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara, Where to search Him? Hearing Him otherwise too As an alternative answer crosses the mind, Where do you search Me, Search Me? , I am by you, By you Wherever search you, Search you, I am near you, Near you.
