मन से दुःख, आत्मा से खुशी
सुख और दुःख जीवन के दो बड़े पहलू
उनसे जुड़े कार्य
और उससे जुड़े मन और आत्मा |

मेरे अंदर   बसी मेरी आत्मा
जो संसार के सारे सुख व खुशी
प्राप्त करना चाहती है
और दूसरों को उसमें शामिल कर,
सुख देना चाहती है
वो यह नहीं समझ पा रही
की उसके लिए दुःख भी आवश्यक है |
और खुशी ना मिलने का रहस्य
सीधा व सरल है -
मेरे मन की चाहत |
मन, दिन-प्रति-दिन
मुझे मोह-माया में लपेटता  जा रहा है
उस से निकलना कठिन है
और दुःख ज़यादा |
आत्मा अमर है
और व्यक्ति को सही कार्य करने को कहती है
पर में मूर्ख, उसकी ना सुन
मन की ही करती हूँ |
मन जो कहे, वो करना तो सरल है
परन्तु उसका परिणाम
जितना सरल, उतना ही खराब |
फिर अपनी गलतियों का अहसास होने पर
अपने आप को कोसने से क्या फायदा?
समय तो बीत चुका है
और अपनी गलती पर
दूसरों पर आरोप लगाना
भी तो गलत है  |
आत्मा की सुनना कठिन है
और कभी तो असम्भव |
पर क्या असम्भव को सम्भव
नहीं किया जा सकता?
प्रयत्तन तो यही है
पर कार्य मन के ही होते हैं |

A friend that follows me

 A friend that follows me

She's always there with me

And has never fought with me.

A friend, she follows me

Wherever and whenever I go.

A friend who never leaves my company

Till I'm asleep

Or may be not.

I'm never lonely

Till I have her.

But who knows

Till when I have her.

She's a friend

But a dumb one indeed

Without an advice to give

or to talk to.

She's just a copy cat of me

Doing whatever I do

And if you guessed it

What I'm writing about...

You're jolly well right

She's nothing but

my silly, dumb shadow

weighing nothing at all.

Animals

 These are lovely, innocent creatures

Always so full of life and happiness

They don't harm nature

But exist only in it-

A good way of living.

Without the care of money,

Food they get in their surroundings.

Their good, happy minds without jealousy.

Love, the most important treasure

which exists only in them...

Is the best thing they have and give.

Being an animal,

so peaceful, playful friends

Is the best form of life

Ever known to me.

Teachers

These young-old ladies,

teachers...

These smart-dull ladies,

teachers...

These beautiful-ugly ladies,

teachers...

These fat-slim ladies,

teachers...

Some are too lazy,

teachers...

The wild-angry lionesses,

teachers...

The caring friends,

teachers...

Some are too good,

teachers...

They mean a lot,

teachers...

We really need good ones,

teachers.

Life without Dreams

 When you start digging...

Digging through your books,

You don't know where you'll end...

End to achieve your goal, 

And then when you have no dreams...

No dreams in mind,

You remain a hopeless, helpless miner

Looking yourself foolishly in mirror.

Life without a goal,

Is a meaningless pole.

Life without a goal,

Is a kangaroo without its pouch

Life without a goal,

Is an ocean without fish.

Life without a goal,

Is a dessert without sweetness.

Life without a goal,

Is a whistle without a sound

Life without a goal,

Gives you nothing for your bowl.

Life without a goal,

Is nothing at all.
