One Mind, One Law Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

Several identities in action,
each unaware of the other:
animals—wild as well as tame,
on land and in water—
maintain a food cycle.
Land, forest, waterfall, streams, and river,
seas and ocean,
unmindful of a rain cycle,
all sing a perfect rhythm.

Myriads of celestial bodies—
planets, stars, galaxies, and more—
some visible,
yet most invisible,
move in perfect unison
along their directed paths
in a universe that expands
at a speed beyond that of light.
An infinite number of stellar objects,
getting born and dying
over an infinite weave of time and space.
How does one comprehend to say
that at some points of space
time bends or becomes still—
a matter beyond the reach
of our means and minds.

What might appear to be chaos,
impermanent and trivial,
or works at cross purposes by the actors—
on deeper thought appears not so:
there's cohesion,
there's a law,
there are cycles.
There's only one mind at work
across all phenomena.
