And That I Like.. I Confess Poem by Indira Renganathan

And That I Like.. I Confess

Rating: 5.0


Fear of death was there..I dare to confess
But as the day's nearing, fear's going away
For no desire is bliss..truth is that today
Desireless march and that I like..I confess

No more speach on 'death's a journey to birth'
Nor any elegy on me when gone with death
Do not disturb me any more as next my path
Is no more birth or death but That in mirth

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by the following preaching-- 'Breathing assumes its own rhythms and cycles when the soul leaves the body. So the Nadi starts working according to ones karma. The soul leaves through the left nostril or it goes through the right nostril. When it exits through the right nostril, it is free. It goes with the knowledge, with more awareness of its wisdom. If it goes through the left side, that means, it has certain intentions and emotions and then it causes it to come back. In life also, if you see, when the right nostril is functioning, you will find there is more left brain activity and so you are more alert, you are more conscious and logical; but when the left is functioning, then right brain is more active. That means, you are more emotional and you have intentions to do something. You have plans - So when you have plans, you have to come back soon. When both are functioning, that is Sushumna naadi, which leads to Samadhi. Then you will exit in a meditative state; you have no obligations and you don't have to come back. You are merging with the infinite instantaneously. Even if you have to come back, it is by a grand plan; for the sake of others, not for your own sake'.--Taken from the internet
