Death is stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to “ die before you die”- and find that there is no death. -Eckhart Tolle
What I have become, I don’t want to know anymore! I have been fed to all that I am not and I only came to know about that when I faced death.
I identified with my mind. I let it dwell on my fears which gave me sufferings and frustrations. It made me to shed tears for my past and worry for my future.
It stole my ‘now’. It overpowered me, I became its prey and it fed my life. I became my failures, my sufferings which lingered only in the past. It became my sense of self.
Who am I ? Just my failure or suffering ? No it can’t be true. I cannot be the figment of my mind, just a mere thought?
No I can’t let my smitten mind feed me. For that I have to die before I actually die.
I have to stop thinking, I have to come out of my unconscious self and cling on my heart beat which exist in the ‘now’. I have to breathe in my present and exhale my past.
This will kill my ego, my fear, my sufferings and all that is born out of my past and future.
My false self will die and my true self will emerge from the eternal now. I am not the past and future , I am all that is happening right now !
Two strings fluttered Aimlessly in the toxic mist. Their existence meant nothing Until they mingled and became one.
Churning desires tied together, Melt slowly with the potion of love Their love sparked amid chaos And the hate trembled, turning to dust.
Their love flickered for a brief moment, Showing the buds to blossom like them. Tears rained when they vanished at last Sowing their seeds in the bud’s heart !
Far away from home, Up on those roads, Tread through the boulders, Walk through the forest, Where trees touch sky And your breath seems to fly.
Up, on the snow, Your feet refuse to slow, Let them feel the rocks, Let them climb on and on !
When you reach the gates, You’re welcomed by icy gales, The pains of the path, Find its meaning at last, When you sweat finally glows, With the rays of the star !
