While working with so many of my wonderful team members and so many other people I have realised that everyone is caught in a cobweb which forces them to search for happiness outside, in small things, in people, in appreciation, in growth, in worldly pleasures and what they forget is that a look within will give them the answers to all pertinent queries of their mind. The atmosphere is so communicable that it has often trapped me and I have committed a similar folly. But spending time with oneself and just ignoring what the world has to offer, lets ask ourselves, what can we offer to our own being? What do we deserve? Lets aim for the absolute and forget the demons of the relative and competitive thoughts.
I have just penned down a few words for each one of us. Here it goes...
A Journey...Deep within!!
Deep within the prayers you say...
Right across the clouds that surround,
Will end your search for the way...
That so many mortals haven't found!!
Amidst numerous thoughts infinitesimal
The idea of an infinite specific carks
A path to perdition or to bliss
Towards Sun or into the darks!!
Engulfed by the tyranny of expectations..
And deterred by the selfless thought;
Headed to an end of propitious selfishness...
Seems the duels that you have fought!
A troubled mind caught in God's play,
Conquered by ripples of lust and greed;
Looking around for the fame and praises,
A little look inside is what you need.
A surrendered hope, a deceiving will...
Results from the thoughtless living
A pure one will salvage life;
Through the act of love and of giving!
The dynamic cobwebs of the joy relative...
Giving birth to the mortal gains.
The knowledge of the independent and the absolute..
Will make you rise, and devoid of pains!
In the quest of knowledge and growth,
Moving backwards, amongst the ignorants...
Forgetting the songs of beautiful life,
Amidst the misleading worldly chants!
But hope resides in the house of its own,
Look outside and you will find none;
Close your eyes, go deep inside...
And from flying, you shall never shun!
Far off seems the destination of dreams,
The unknowns shield the truth behind.
The souls like thee, destined for the roads...
Peace in the journey, is what you will find!
