The Subtle Call

Everyone feel silence,
In the midst of work,
Or after a long walk.
Accumulating silence is not the challenge,
But to keep it.

Poem
Unnecessary words, born of doubt and fear,
Restlessness eats the peace of mind,
How to hear the silent cry?
The body pleads:
“Give me your full attention.
Nothing matters more than body and mind.
Your efforts serve only my care.
I promise — it will not be easy.
Go subtle now…
or later,
don’t blame God for miseries.”

Poem
Intense work leaves much joy,
But hyper-talking empties me.
I eat more than usual,
Discomfort is really intolerable.
I drift away, unsure how to return,
Self-destruction seems the easy choice.
But after many lives, I learnt—
There is no other way than to go inside.

Poem

Slowness is not a candy we buy,
It is hard work,
And the very purpose of life.

Duality Helps
Duality helps meeting the self,
To discover our restless mind,
And what is actually there inside.
