A LOOK AT LIFE-152
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY



Just close your eyes

Take me wherever you want to

I will be with you where you wish me to,

heaven or hell, sun, moon or stars

I was with you, will be with you all the way

No matter how poignant the journey may be.

May be difficult to endure

when you move from darkness to darkness but

I relish your company in summer and winter

coz without you, I do not have existence of my own



I don't have a shape,

acquire a shape as you wish.

I am beyond pair of opposites,

devoid of attributes.

Have nothing to prove, nothing to accomplish,

nothing to do and undo,

yet I am everywhere, in everything and being



I am the universe,

time, space and causation,

yet much beyond it.

I remain in myself,

yet I am in everything.

I am One,

become many

when you come under illusion

and wish me to



You don't see me

But I am deep inside

Look within

I am you and you are me

Consciousness, pure and unalloyed.

Unveil the veil

We are the same.



You are everywhere

You are the limitless sky,

the ever-expanding universe.

Realise it!

That will be the day

for which you are here.

The moment

you have been looking forward to

since long.



Unless duality disappears

you can't be yourself,

the single, indivisible you

without a second.

that you are,

the timeless, ageless you.
