Best Realisation Poems

Some days I feel that 'life' just knocks me down,
Those harsh words said, your sharpness and your frown,
Remembering these things, what is the answer - how
Can I shake off those hurting actions now,
...

Storm blown ripples
line my weathered brow,
face a map of life’s journey,
of striving, disappointments
...

When we make mistakes and exclaim, 'I'm only human',
what are we trying to say?
What are we apologising for?
As humans, are we only just above the lowest form of animal,
...

When in the large compartment,
Everyone was seated.
And all the luggage loaded,
The family group completed.
...

In the heart of an old village setting
There stands an Antique dealers rooms
Full of rarest antiques brought for vetting
Plus two urns sold by Hilda May Coombs
...

Butterfly in class
learns lessons along with kids.
Excellent student.
...

Neutrality is the balance
between bad and good
life is water...
a balance between good and bad,
...

When I reach there,
I smell sweet fragrance
In the atmosphere,
Soon I realise
...

Our walk to discovery
was blessed, with a
silence wrapped in
music, the songs,
...

Never realised that writing poetry
Could be so fulfilling;
All you need-a pen and paper
To vent out emotions overflowing.
...

Lo, my son,
This is India's map.
These drained lines flowing out
Like frantic cries of impotence
...

Waving she stood on the threshold,
her husband and children on the road,
her elder to competition quiz,
blessed her with a smile whiz.
...

The cow
I untied myself to graze.
It was led to the pasture,
Where the grass grows greener,
...

With my feet dragging
Walking down the street of memories
Each moment spent with my friends
Scrolled before my eyes
...

Forgiving,
Becomes easy,

Once we realise
...

Salutations to the Valiant One -
Surya, the Subduer of senses!

Salutations to the super speed radiance -
...

Hers was a lonely, shadowed lot;
Or so the unperceiving thought,
Who looked no deeper than her face,
Devoid of chiselled lines of grace –
...

As I took rest
With the soothing cool breeze
Blowing around,
Feeling the dry yellow leaves
...

AFTER THE EXAMINATION RESULTS. SOME OF US HAVE FACED THE FOLLOWING SITUATION IN OUR LIFE.
*************************************************************************

It was a moment of defeat,
...

Lonely painful nights
Bringing fears and frights
Not finding you near me
Breaks me apart slowly
...

(1) Abhimanyu

After the Great War of Kurukshetra
Was won by the Pandavas,
...

Read the philosophical question: Does something exist
if nobody is experiencing it - a Walkman playing when
nobody with earplugs is listening, illustrates it is com-
pletely irrelevant to wonder whether something exists
...

Poetry of Life

Can poetry stop the wheel of death,
Or can it delay the process?
...

In the twilight hours
in the life of a man
when the spirit sours
as it must, 'cause it can
...

Like one moody disturbed Sea
strange is day with its sudden
moodswings, steals the lights
like one empty lamp without any
...

Beseiged by the memories of yesterdays
Flowing thoughts spin in realms of spurts
Of joys of knowing human inconsistencies
Now augured as natural without doubt
...

Whenever I discover what an idiot I’ve been,
I turn to television — “Oh screen of wonders, flick me
on and off like an appliance,” I implore it
...

...

Today …
The certainty of appearances is that optical illusion is never what the shapes seam.

Yesterday …
...

Prolonged agonies of heart and mind:

Induced and self-induced,
...

Salutations, father of my nation, salutations.

Leaving these flowers at the feet of thy statue
I stand bowing in front of it in silent adoration
...

I knock on the window of my mates’ front door
Looks confused so I remind him what I'm here for
What’s happening can u sort us with that score?
There’s none in the area? When you getting more?
...

1. Let us form a ring

2. Flowers would we offer In prayer: Trust we not The strangers!

3. Jostled with Him in dance
...

There’s an old heart down on the corner, drowning in its pain
I can see the sorrow in her eyes, tears are leaving there stain,
Picture imperfect memory and you’ll see her final phase
Long time they where together,
...

Yesterday's memory beseiged
Thoughts realm in flowing spurts
Human inconsistencies' known joys
Without doubt augured as natural
...

All alone in the dark I sit here on this old park bench,
In the daytime this place filled with happy playful children,
But in the dark it’s a place quite different,
A place of broken bottles and broken dreams,
...

When I started my journey in the path of life,
Things appeared to be beautiful and mysterious,
Everything and everyone excited me and made me anxious,
That someday I would come to understand,
...

You had me eating out of your hand Jon
Reading your poem it was so powerful
Words full of passion and real pain
I know SLN told me too when we met
...

When no roads are left to follow
One may feel either live or die
Always remember dear
A path of meditation always awaits you.
...

I remember how we
Argued one day.

You told me true love existed
...

Yama declares:
"O Nachiketaa! Learn the Art of Meditation!
The symbol that is proclaimed by the Vedas
The syllable praised and practised by the Sages
...

A Poet is a contradiction
********
A poet is a dreamer,
He dreams to make truth herald,
...

If waking is no escape from terrible dreams,
nor sleeping relief from my waking hours -
If my senses confuse conception with reality
(Or has reality always been a pure product of the mind?) -
...

Advaita means Non-dual
The One without a second.
This non-dualism treats
Brahman as the sole Reality!
...

Often life has to face many hindrances
The life path is unseen and critical
In order to get peace remind two words
These are 'realisation' and 'solution'.
...

I saw a flower
in the shrubs of snowy dust
the little young flower
winkling and smiling
...

As the skin realizes
The aftermath of your aging, hey, man
You begin to falter at
Your revelations again and again.
...

‘Anticipation is sweeter than realisation.’

It may be, yet I have not found it so.
In those first golden dreams of future fame
...

Romanticism dreamt is disenchantment
and death, a problem countered by realism,
left-brain thinking enriches us immensely,
combined with right-brain intuition we are
...

Frozen in a moment of realisation
that we are living in a world created
by the price you have to pay
...

‘Love for learning' is the
Literal meaning of ‘Philosophy'
Little urges in man to
Learn more and to know more,
...

One day from a far empire
you came to my lonesome thoughts
I was totally sedated by your eloquence.
Now you, my companion of all my invisible emotions.
...

Soft flesh revealed itself amply
Summer raised hems to the thighs
Shoulders shimmered and cleavage clocked
By heedfully chancing eyes
...

Guru Ramana Maharshi,
A highly evolved ‘Mauna Swami'
Spoke through his eloquent silence.
The disciples just sat next to him.
...

On the threshold of another academic year;
Back to syllabus oriented classes and interactions-
To acknowledge, rectify and build on proficiencies assessed,
To enable the young ones to reach-
...

Look me in the eye
And see no lie
Penetrate through the walls of my heart
And see your Golden name written within
...

And now, steady you walk
Romp to explore your efforts
Following are your parents
...

Niceties of November rains
In a lordly remote touch
Brought in guests
Who took me on a state-highway
...

Your poem 'Realisation of a great dream for world peace'.
I have borrowed a phrase 'Never Fail To Dream Great' from
your poem cited, and used it as caption for a new poem of mine. Without your permission.
I could not resist the temptation.
...

I've finally accepted,
You're never coming back,
Those many tears I cried for you,
Made no difference at all,
...

Devi Sarasvati!
You are ‘Chatur-Veda Svarupini'-
The glorious form of the four Vedas!
‘Vedaagni' - the fire contained in the Vedas
...

Yama continues to pour out his knowledge and wisdom.
Nachiketa listens, imbibes and retains the esoteric knowledge.

"The Sense and Sense organs,

Yama continues:
" O Nachiketaa! It is so important
To conquer all senses and
To destroy all desires in the mind.

A famous line from Saint Kabir says:

My salutations to the great Guru
Maharshi Veda Vyasa - the dynamic Teacher,
May His name be glorious forever,
May His work be celebrated forever!
...

Though you are wise, be as a fool;
Though you can see, be as one blind;
Though you can hear, be as one deaf;
Patiently bear with all you meet,
...

For a mortal mind
What is a realisation
A spiritual unfoldment
Finite is never possible.
...

Fear
A common emotion,
Lies deeply embedded
In the psyche of man!
...

Holy Fig! ‘Ashvattha'!
Holy tree that lives for many years,
Healing all beings shaded under it,
Hearing the sacred cosmic vibrations,
...

I heard them whispering;
Guessed today was my day!
The doomsday of all life,
My fate decided by the living Gods.
...

Now, even the illusions are gone…
Have I restored my sanity?
If that is so, —I do not desire it!
Sanity—Reality.
...

Sun shines through the glass
Reaching to touch dreams
Left on the highest shelf
Forgotton thoughts and hopes
...

It was five o'clock in the morning
when I saw her, and, sweetly, adorning
her pearly white flesh
was a fisherman's mesh
...

Sound of Ignorance

The sound of ignorance is violent,
It sometimes throttles the truth,

I met her one blurry New Years eve
She who would hang as a glorious ornament, from your sleeve
Back in those times of hours, no sand
I can picture her (now grasping) your lovely hand
...

Walt Whitman, on reading you,
Read I into the making of
Your mind,
Mind and mood
...

I said, yes I’d like to be my real self
and yes I’d like to realise that I, er, am.. I think..

but when I see the word self-realisation
...

i would like to die a man
with smiles and laughter
till death in my mouth
i would like to die
...

Suddenly I see the light,
It was never far.
I was just too engrossed,
In my own tiny jar.
...

Do you know
What God told me the other day?
I am telling you
In top secrecy.
...

God has given us an unique camera
which captures all motions of time
can not say, all phenomenon of creation
are stored up in the beautiful camera
...

I want to give you, my dear friends,
A balloon of your choice and colour
So that you will play with it
Your sweet face blooming like a rose.
...

Where are those long lost days?
Remembered fondly,
Loved in so many ways,
Awaken by reality,
...

Soft hues of young dawn give mind a few nods,
And I hear a frail but full voice singing
A hymn in praise of glory that be God's;
Voice wafting thru the air, years unrolling
...

There is Love that could fill the sky,
And all the hearts that wonder, ‘Why? '
When you are sad, and far apart from love,
Here is the answer from above:
...

Wiping her hands on the apron
Went to answer a call front..
There on the step stood,
a toddler whimpering
...

The Ego was ingrained in man with
Implicit trust by God,
To be handled with caution, lest,
It loses its innate purity! But man!
...

May the mind and speech,
Cooperate, coordinate, collaborate,
Correlate in harmony with each other,
In total synchronisation together!
...

Every delivery from the bowler
equipped with spin and pace
effort and anxiety
the painstaking effort
...

The shrill ringing of the phone broke the deadly silence of the room, intruding into her chain of thoughts that was troubling her. With a bit of irritation on her face, She tried to reach the telephone...Listening to the voice of the man on the otherside her face paled and was etched with pain, regret and helplessness, before she could even voice her words the phone was banged down and that sickening feeling of rejection consumed her. She fell with a slump on the bed her tired and drained body reflecting the rejection, the tears running unstopable down her cheeks. She didnt realised that her daughter stood by the door watching her plight a questioning look on her face when she raised her head. Her daughter slowly asked her, That was him on the phone right? nodding her head she summed up her strength and tried to smile through her tears.

As the quote says ' The show must go on' She picked herself up and immersed herself in the household chores. Couple of hours later she heard a voice behind her...'Mom will you come out with me..I've a surprise for you'...She immediately said No not realising that she was breaking her daughters heart...Her daughter left quietly just as she realised what she had done...She went and hugged her daughter and softly asked her Where are you taking me? She said 'Now thats a surprise, come on just go n freshen up and wear something beautiful which makes you happy'....She just did that inspite of her reluctance...As they left home the sun was setting and she wondered where her daughter was taking her.As the scooter turned into the highway surprised she asked her daughter 'now what are you upto? ..don't you know it's dangerouse to venture on this busy highway with heavy vehicles..' Laughing she responded 'thats the surprise mom...You just enjoy the ride..' Moving ahead in the dark she could feel the loneliness engulfing her allover again, as the soft breeze played with her hair, she could see her life passing by. As the darkness filled the horizon, the eerie feeling of two women riding alone on a two wheeler on a busy highway increased. A soft voice broke into her thoughts '.Mom this time I'am taking you on a ride in scooter but InshAllah next time will take you on a four wheeler just let me complete my studies..then we will have a gala time ' Soon she started sharing all her dreams, her desires, her wishes with lots of promises to take care of her.With moisten eyes realisation suddenly struck, she realised that even in her loneliest moments, there was her daughter with her, a daughter who cared genuinely...She stopped her scooter at a highway restaurant and said 'Mom I'am dating the most beautiful woman on earth.'.She took her for dinner then pampered her with a cd as she knew music was her salvation..she made her laugh with her school and college anecdotes, so much till tears rolled down her eyes.

The importance
Of the great thing,

It can become an obsession,
the heart, mind, and soul, can't distinguish physiologically

Devotion comes from within
which cannot be hidden.
Devotion means dedication, ardour and concentration
To know what is devotion you need realisation;

We like to live in the world of dream;
Imagination takes us to fantasy world;
But reality is hard to digest many times!
Between both ends man oscillates ever!

And it made me think of 3

The sun gives us sufficient light
the moon gives us moonlit night
the stars give us twinkling light
yet the cottage of my heart is dark
...

Mukthi as the end; you are at the front.
O mother O mother all are on the run.

Renunciation as the means; all else are only dreams.

I dreamt of you last night
i held you in my arms so tight
not once did your face fade
not until love we made
