I live in a zone of silence
To decipher my hostile past.
No, my life is not
A speck of dust
Flawed and doomed to nothingness.
Useless words I pronounced.
Therefore suicide I committed
Time and again.
In my life from now on
Only
The essential is permissible.
No more shall I pretend to be
What I am not:
IGNORANCE
When I love the steps
of my thoughts,
My life becomes a series of calamities.
When I love the flights of my will,
My life becomes a series of daring visions.
When I love the boat of my life,
My life becomes the divine compeer
Of perfection's heights.
It Steals Into My Heart
-------------------------------
There was a time when I loved
The fantastic fabrics of the mind.
There was a time
When I lived my life
Based on culled fictions.
There was a time
When I was satisfied
With a fragment of reality,
Splintered, broken and smashed.
But now a lucid illumination
Steals into my heart.
The eternal Presence
Of Infinity's Light
Feeds my Vision's Dawn.
O world-ignorance,
Although
You have shackled my feet,
I am free.
Although
You have chained my hands,
I am free.
Although
You have enslaved my body,
I am free.
I am free because I am not of the body.
I am free because I am not the body,
I am free because I am the soul-bird
That flies in Infinity-Sky.
I am the soul-child that dreams
On the Lap of the immortal King Supreme.
I stood up for my rights.
My rights demanded
The life of universal acceptance
And the life of universal recognition.
I stand up for my rights.
My rights demand
My heart's cry and my life's smile.
I shall stand up for my rights.
My rights shall demand
The surrender-moon
From the world of aspiration-sun.
Love without wisdom
Is today's lover.
Wisdom without love
Is today's saviour.
Beauty without duty
Is today's choice.
Duty without beauty
Is today's noise.
His Personality And His Individuality
----------------------------------------
No length, no breadth
His personality has.
No height, no depth
His individuality has.
Total and perfect isolation
His real name is.
He is a body
With no voice of the soul.
He is a soul
With no life of the body.
My light shall flood the world.
Not now, not now, not now!
My will shall feed the world.
Not now, not now, not now!
My smile shall lift the world.
Not now, not now, not now!
My boat shall sail the world.
Not now, not now, not now!
My light, my will, my smile,
My boat, shall change the face
Of earth and inspire the world
To win the Godward Race.
