colours

love an ever lasting love...this is one thing one cant give out of practice...once i used to believe that even love can come by getting used to it. n i did practice it... the artificial life engulfed this frame... so artificial that reality seemed senseless and mad...when artificiality softened the hand i thot it was the heart which was getting touched...the smile spread a mile...but cunt touch my ears...i thot it touched even my temple...wen salty water rolled down the cheeks i thot it was the soul which was dropping some of its contents... because sadness is one feeling which cant be acted... and now i realise...soul did pour out... but for a different reason...i was fallin...fallin far frm reality...fallin into artificiality...was just caught by reality then...it knocked off the ephemeral stage... turned to the bright light...redened my face...burnt my hands n feet...reality shook me off...drenched in my despair past... learnt new lessons... chose the true nature of nature...flowin it now... no more artificial colours would fill my painting...
let the maya play its role...and purush will play his role too...!

continuing ...gita paat..


Sri Krishna, begins gita when Arjuna surrendered himself in the feet of the lord. now we know how surrender-ism is such a powerful weapon to attain moksham. today i want to start with the general gist of the great conversation... i am planning to write every chapter in each post... hopefully i would be able to do it... prayers to the lord for this. so bhagavad geeta... askin man to follow the righteous path... the most difficult thing which i think is to be able to discriminate. Discriminating the good and the bad... defining them... as once posted before...where i said defining things is the most difficult thing to do... once you define a situation you will definitely master the situation...be able to see through the glass... be able to discriminate... when i speak of philosphy, the very common question thrown at my face is : "what is good and what is bad?" ... i have tried answering in many different ways to different people... but in vain..none is convinced... i am still searching for the true answer... well.... the best guide for this would be The Geeta... here the lord in the 17th chapter... tells us everything which is good and everything which is bad... He has not tried to define it...here, he has has mentioned which things are good ( sattvika guna) and which things are bad (tamasika guna). let me give simple examples now... sattvika guna..person having a lot traits of sattvika guna would generally be active, thinks a lot about almighty, stoic, dettached. the person having tamasika guna would have traits like laziness, inactive, enemity et al. the one guna in between these two is rajasika guna...which i feel is where most of us are..... because most of us have traits from both the sides... Krishna also says that a man has to develop from tamas to sattvikam. i am writing this on my way back to home... in the cab... he happens to see my typing and coincidently, he is also very spritiual. one can tell that by the very look on his face. he works on the same floor, one guy who has a hair knot like the pujaris at temple!
well...continue tomorrow with proper gist of the first chapter.

" karpanyo dhoshaha pahatha swabhava;
prichami thvam dhrama samuda chethaha;
yescheya stha nishchintha bruhi thanme shishyasthe shadhi mam thvam prapanam" --
Arjuna says, in the battle field at kurukshektra... surrending himself before the lord.
Arjuna was disconcerted when he faced his own kith n kin standing in front of him waging the war! he took a step back, when Sri krishna beheld him.
he then describes his fears in a very beautiful way, explaining each and every part of the body and how it acts in fear .... hands can't hold the bow, legs fail to stand, eyes fail to open, mouth trembles....and so on. i don't quite remember the exact quotes..lemme see and come back tomo to post it! its really a beautiful description of fear.
righteous is the step to be taken, and our emotions take a back seat. may wat may come in front of us...righteous path has to be choosen. are we doing this in our life??? question your mind often for the answer...! so..comin bac to kurukshektra, when arjuna was confused of what to do...to kill his own relatives and run away from the war...Krishna says...fight, fight for your Dharma! thats Bhagavat geeta!-- fight! Fight for dharma.
Arjuna then surrenders himself sayin the above verses... only then Sri Krishna starts the geeta paat.
will continue tomo...
