To impress no more
Are chief factors making
Death a deadly horror
To the one facing it.

No World’s Harmony
Harmony cannot be brought to the world
By any messiah or god incarnates
As one eats the other for one’s living
Without mercy, and God is a witness.

The Role Of Instincts
Victory is sweet; sweeter is revenge.
Relief is sweet; sweeter is escape.
Gain is sweet; sweeter is lottery.
Sex is sweet; sweeter is adultery.
Liberty scores over freedom.
Selfishness scores over justice.
Jealousy scores over affection.
Bribery scores over honesty.
Instincts disobey conscience
Whenever it finds the convenience.

Brain’s Master
Man’s brain possesses
Manas, the mind,
Buddhi, the intellect,
Chitta, the subconscious,
Ahankara, the egoism.
Manas faces choices,
Buddhi makes selection,
Chitta does scrutiny
And ahankara approves or vetoes
Ahankara is the fiber,
Giving stiffness too life
In the form of selfishness,
The essence of existence.

Reliefs And Burdens
A death is a loss and a relief too.
A birth is a gain and a burden too.
A thing comes to you and with a price tag.
A thing goes from you and with a load too.
When you own a car, it would own your care.
Be light to loss and gain on their visits.

My Death Is My Loss.
My death is a loss
Only to me,
And not to any.
My death is a pain
Only to me,
And not to any.
My death is my fear,
Not anyone’s;
It gives me more pain.
I have to face it.
It is one’s fate.
I fear pain to die.

Man And Other Mammals
Man invented Time and bought restlessness.
Man invented God and brought ignorance.
Man devised Money and forgot humanism.
Unlike other mammals, he has more fears.

The False Necessity
Bras are a false necessity.
A recent study has found it.
Denied gravity by the bra,
Breasts get no escapes from sagging.
Rather, they are eager to sag.
No anatomical gain comes.
Yet bras are a necessity
To man’s eyes trained in that bracket.
Gods are a false necessity;
Theories are there to confirm it,
The mindset cannot be altered.
Gods will stand a necessity
To humans’ mind tamed in that order.

Money Goes And Comes.
The sea is robbed of water by the clouds.
The sea gets water from rivers in turn.

Let takers and givers be same to you.

Intentions and results
Between provocation
And retaliation
There’s no correlation.
It’s like a seed and tree.
A spark of fire can spread
To destroy a forest.
A rebuke thrown at one
Can lead to a suicide.
Reaction can go high.
Retaliation is still more.
Repercussion might be
More than perceivable.
The affected are upset
With the attacks received,
For their intended ends
Are not the resultant ends.

Are You Loyal To God?
A theft is not a theft
If man commits it
On plants and animals.
It’s not a robbery
When it is employed
On plants and animals.
A kill is not a kill
If it is inflicted
On plants and animals.
Thefts, robberies and kills l
Are so among humans,
All religions profess.
You cannot please the God
By harming other lives,
Which too are His products.
You cannot lead a life
Without these, and with these
You aren’t loyal to Him.

The Leftover Get Over.
Being harmless, helpless or innocent
Or being weaklings, disabled or old
Will generate pity in others’ hearts.
Pity is translated to love and concern.
The leftover, thus, get over their ills.
While pity enters, jealousy exits

For a long life
You may water;
You may manure;
You may spray
And guard a tree.
A storm may blow
And fell it down.
A good health is
Not a long life.

Seniority is not counted.

Temples Are Empty.
Visitors are sinners

Inmates are workers
With vested interests.
Fed up with those loveless,

To find love of others

The Diseased Have No Loss.
The contents cast, the can goes empty.
A balloon burst, is the balloon empty?
Both gone, neither is loss to the other.
It occurs when a death takes place,
With no loss to the body or life.

Evaluate Friendship.
Better are foes than faithless friends,
Deaths
than terminal illness,
Blows than contempt and censures
Than tributes to the worthless ones.

Perception Is Fluid.
Contents and conveyance
Of an object perceived
And knowledge and intellect
Of a person perceiving
Are the four factors that
Together contribute
The resultant perception,
Which is subject to change
As factors are variable
Due to space and time.

Belief Is Taken As Truth.
The earth is flat- once held as true.
The sun revolves- once held as true.
Many things now we hold as true
May later turn to be false.
What I believe is true, though not.
What I disbelieve is false, though not.

Ego Is The Cause.
Be it an emperor or a messiah.
Both are driven by the same impetus:
Pleasure in expression of their self-worth.
Both are ruthless in their endeavor.
Both are merciless against adversaries.

Are We At Peace?
To learn running faster is the cheetah’s concern.
To learn running faster is the deer’s concern.
Their existences are linked to that feat.
They have no separate gods to rescue them.

We delude ourselves that we are at peace.

Kill ‘ I’.
‘I’ is high in all God’s utterances.
‘I’ is high in all messages uttered
By sons of God, messiahs and prophets.
They want us to kill our ‘I’ to reach God.

Life Has No Timetable.
When it starts, it will be its starting time.
When it halts, it will be its reaching time.

A shepherd is a breeder and a keeper.

Must the crop, the sheep and man show their love
To their respective masters?

Independence
I depend on you and you do on me.
I depend on him, who is, on someone.
No one is independent of others.
A chain of dependence is the law of nature.
It’s not that one is fully dependent
Or fully independent in existence.
Interdependence is the rule of the game,
Be it life, planets or the galaxy.

The World Of Jain
The whole world consists of two entities:
Life and Non-life; both are independent.
Life is the state of pure consciousness.
Non-life is of motion, rest, space, time and
Gross matter, the five being infinite.
Life through Non-life forms all living organisms.
The law of cause and effect is in force.
Injuries breed injuries; abstain from them.
Non-injury is the spirit of Jainism,
Which does not, hence, envisage any God.

Anger And Dream
Anger is a reaction;
Dream is a reflection.
Irritations give anger;
Activations [of brain] give dreams.
Anger and dreams are respondents
No initiative from their parts;
Anger and dream need no actions.
They, when left, die them
selves.
