The arrogant priest.

A priests village gets flooded.Most of the village ets evacuated by boats but the priest stays on saying "The lord will save me".
The water goes over his house and he has to sit on the roof.Th boat once again appears and the boatman tell him to get in save his life to which the priest again answers-"the lord will save me"
Eventually the water rises over his head and he drowns and dies.
I heaven he asks god-"Why didnt you save me?".
God answers-"My son I sent the boat three times."

Eternity

ETERNITY

My friends are yellow, brown and white,
What difference does it make to the light?

The joke that beholds us all,
Comes to us only at the moment of our greatest fall.

Death is our friend,
Where there is no trend,

Why fear it is really near.
Why show me the light, why confuse me?
Ignorance was bliss why did you diffuse me?

To know is to be a liar,
What better way to throw me into fire?

When in pain I say your name,
The reality that is, is no more the same.

The light that shines beyond the star,
Is the same in my heart.

Truth allways wins

Truth allways wins.

Truth is godliness and will allways triumph no matter what the opposition.For me opposition just makes me stronger and more determined.

Its possible that the other person takes time to understand maybe minutes ,days or years.When he or she realises that you had spoken the truth it will be appreciated.

Lies on the other hand can keep building up, covering for the previous one and you

could lose a precious relationship this way.Its about trust once it is broken its going to be very difficult for the person to forget and forgive.

To understand truth one needs to be in a similar vibration.

Here I talk about cosmic truths.

I would not understand till the age of 24 and then after my spiritual experience I would lap up books very fast, people would be surprised as to how fast I would finish a book.

Books on spirituality and philosophy became easy for me to read as I could relate with the words.I now find novels which I used to read when young very difficult something I loved earlier on.

Each person has his or her own time to come to understanding truth.This does not depend on age or education.

Some children like my book and I feel it bounces of the heads of some adults,

strange but true.

The Great Guru Nanak- some quotes

All the actots are brothers born of the same reality and ultimately bound to merge in the same reality.

So long as the play lasts,they are different but they were the same before it and they shall be the same after it.

The wise enjoy the play because they know that the opponents their own selves.They neither kill nor is anybody killed.

The light comes to all.

All are saints finished or in the making.

I am nothing, he alone is everything.

All around is the same he.

And I have become uniformly one with him.

Some awesome quotes of Osho

Some of Oshos quotes

The real things cannot be said, the real thing can only be understood.

No objective art belongs to time,it is forver,because it comes from beyond the mind,from eternity itself.

Your own words may not have been grammatical.That doe not matter,that is the freedom of the poet to open his heart, not to bother about grammer and not to bother about rules of language.You just put your words.

Truth

TRUTH


Bramha, Allah, Jevovah, Vishnu, Ahuramazda, Shiva...

What’s in a name?
A way to identify the same,
Geography, language is mainly to blame.

Your glory is such,
Man asks for too much.

Meditation or one pointed concentration is the key,
But who says there is no fee?

Day to dawn makes no sense,
What does? We call nonsense.

Who am I and why am I here?
Has just become my greatest fear.

Is justice to be done with the strength in my hands?
Or by sweet words maybe written in the sand?

When will you set me free?
So that I can be with thee.

How am I to live in bliss?
When I stop myself from giving all a kiss.

Why do I write I do not know?
It is only ink on paper to show.

An Enlightened One doesnt say he is Enlightened-what rubbish

An Enlightened One doesnt say he is Enlightened-what rubbish

To many Grandmasters and few masters thats the problem.

From the beginning of time we have Shiva who claimed Enlightenment the day is called MahaShivratri and celebrated in India till date. Considered the first Enlightened human.

Zaratushtra comes back from the hills and talks about the Divine light how two became one and he fused with the light Got Enlightened surely some called him mad and others understood he was speaking the truth.

The Prophet Mohammed had a revelation or got Enlightened and there were some who did not believe him .

Jesus claimed Enlightenment-said he was the son of God and me and my father are One.

Buddha climed Enlightenment talks about taking the middle path there is no need to go through severe auterities in order to get enlightened-Buddhas answer to prove you are Enlightened-nature is my witness.

Patanjali-seven breaths of one pointed concentraton will get you enlightened.

Krishna-some understood his divinity others mocked it.

Who but and Enlightened one can say he is Enlightened.

Stop trying to be a Grandmaster and decide how an Enlightened One should behave or what he should be doing.

like Guru Nanak says to uderstand the masters you must be in a similar vibration or you will call me a liar a fool. Even he was mocked by some poeple .

Some people tell me beacause you you say you are enlightened means you are not. These are

the fake gurus. The basic qualification to become a guru or poet is enlightenment.

How can you show a person the path if you have not seen the light yourself. You are like a parrot repeating what the masters have talked about without actually witnessing it yourself.

Only take advice from one who claims Enlightenment.The man who claims enlightenment is ready to die for this an ordinary human does not have the courage to say he is enlightened.

By trying to give me advice they are taking the short cut, I give advice to the Poet Mohit Misra. His book may be ranked one in the world for 2006 in Poetry ,ranked over greats like kabir,John Milton,Khalil Gibran,Shakespeare,T.S.Eliot etc but I give him advice I am the greatest, The Grandmaster.

I am open to learning and can learn from all but this is just too much.

If you have been to Africa you can say you have been to Africa its the same with enlightenment.

Who are you to decide what an Enlightened one should say or what he should be doing?

I have a major soft spot for Guru Nanak-his sayings about Hindu and Muslims

If I say I am a Hindu you are dissapointed,but I am not a Muslim either .I am aman made up of five elements.

Who is greater of the two the Hindu or the Musalman?
The Gurus answer-Without good deeds both will come to grief

Three stages of life- Man -God Man- God

There are basically three stages of man.

First offcourse is man the starting stage where he gets covered up or layered with his ego.

Gets a name-family, a Religion, a country which he gets attatched to very normal.

The next is when he starts contemplating life starts meditating and gets enlightened

or enetrs into state of SAMADHI

whereby his ego goes for a toss gets desytroyed. He now understands God has died become one with him and materialises himself again. He sees one in all religions, humans countries become imaginary lines for him.The earth is one and not divided.We humans have divided oursleves.

He begins to preach on God as that becomes his job.God man.

The last stage is GOD when the human dies and does not return what is called MAHA SAMADHI.

Goes back home to the ligh to god to bliss.

Girls

GIRLS

Why in the world did you make girls?
Some so beautiful my head I have to twirl.

Does she know in me she creates a sensation?
I have started thinking of the word creation.

So many around so gorgeous,
My mind seems frivolous.

How the hell am I supposed to just stay with one?
I want all the pretty ones as they come,
Then these things I want none.

I know they are all but your form,
The rose comes with the thorn.

Show me the path I pray to you.
Then I will know what to do.

What is the biggest folly man lives with? Mahabharata

An interesting story comes from the Mahabharata one of the Masterpieces of poetry composed by the sage Vyasa and written by Ganesha.

Ganeshas condition to Vyasa in order thet he write Vyasa must not falter or halt while reciting.

Vyasa condition to Ganehsa-contemplate and understand what I am saying then write thus giving him time.
Deals with Krishna and The Pandava brothers Yudhistara,Arjuna,Bhima.Nakula and Sahadeva who have been exiled from their kingdom.
In exile a brother goes to fetch water from the nearby lake and doesnt return even after some time has past. Worried another of the five brothers goes to look and even he doesnt return.
Eventually four brothers go and do not return forcing the eldest brother Yudishtara to go in search of his younger brothers.
On reaching the lake he is confronted by the lake spirit who says he has captured his youger brothers as they were unable to answer his question and he will also take him in bondage if he doesnt answer the question correctly.
The question is -What is the biggest folly man lives ?.
Yudhistara answers correctly-Mans biggest folyl is that he lives kife like he will never die.
Because of this his priorites in life are all warped. He postpones important things which he should be doing now.

Sleep a kind of spiritual experience

What is sleep and why do we slee ?


Sure the body is tired and its a way to rest and recuperate but have you seen a


person fast asleep.


That person is right in front of you but is he or she is in some different world


oblivious to all that is going on including my presence.

I have had experiences of traveling which the saints call astral travel and say that it can be controlled.
Is it some way for me rather than meditation to connect again wit the cosmos some sort of a spiriutal experience I really do not know and wonder about it.

In sleep I would aften experience the feeling of a free fall which is a similar experience to meditation travelling in a tunnel at immense speed.
This life is strange.

Patience-the key of life- my story

I stated writing at the age of 30 and took it up full time at 33.

So many people mocked me when I said I had a spiritual experience in the Merchant Navy-got Enlightened and I must now write poetry and share the God knowledge I have gained.

I was given the signs to use the pen and thats what I told people.

They would laugh and say who do you think you are-Shakespeare - get a job make some money and I would say-this is my job and I am much better than Shakespeare which would make them laugh louder.

I didnt show my manuscript to anyone while I was writing.Today I have been ranked over Shakespeare on Best Book Buys a library which has over 5 miilion books from 28 bookstores including Barnes and Nobles and Amazon.

This has not happened over night but has taken me 5 long years of working full time on my book.

So often I would go hungry for days as I had no money, have slept in friends shops as I coudnt afford to pay rent.

My friends and family would not help me as they thought this would discourage me and I would do something else rather than write poetry as a full time profession.

Today I am getting support from those same people and its nice they finally understand.

I still have to get a publisher as my book is available as a POD on amazon.

Ponder Awhile has been ranked at 1 for 2006 in poetry books.

In Philosophy-Religious books have been ranked currently at 3.Ponder Awhile just below

2.A Secular Age by Charles Taylor who won the prestigious Templeton prize something I wish to win one day.

Sure its a joke I do not have a publisher.
Well more patience is required by me and its something I have and value.
Without it I may have given up on my book my poetry along time ago. I knew there would be consequences of walking the path of a poet-for me nothing else in life was more important than writing poetry.

The universe is your best friend all it asks is for a little time to do its thing.
I do my work and it does its work without fail.
So please I hope you get encouraged by my story and begin to have patience in order to achieve your dreams.

The Book of Mirdad: The Strange Story of a Monastery Which Was Once Called the Ark

This book is in a class apart.I prefer Mikhail Naimys book to his contemporary Khalil Gibrans The Prophet.Knowledge is what a book is about.God knowledge will defy time and can be written only by a mastersuch as Mikhail Naimy.The vibrations can be picked up thousands of years later.
