THREE MYSTICAL POEMS

DR SATISH K KAPOOR

 

 

INFINITE  AM  I

“I am That, I am.”

My “i” is “I”.

Finity is emanation

I am Infinite.

 

Finity is projection.

Finity is expression

Finity is subjection.

I am Infinite.

 

Egoity is finity

Fullness, Infinity.

Finity is limited

I am infinite.

 

My body is The Body.

My mind is The Mind.     

My soul is a mark

On the brow of time.

 

 

NEGATION IS WISDOM

Existence is Void,

Void is the Truth,

Truth is the Reality.

 

In formlessness is form

In timelessness, time

In spacelessness, space.

 

Nothing is everything.

Emptiness is fullness

Absorption is bliss.

 

Wordless is the Word

Silence is sound

Existence is unbound.

 

In negation is wisdom

In faith, surrender

In death, life.

 

 

 

MYSTICAL  WAVES

The sun basked

Under  its rays.

The sky looked upward

In search of the earth.

The sea jumped

Into river.

The air was lost

In space.

The fire melted

Into water.

 

The Himalayas wept

In sorrow.

The river  Ganga

Had a bath.

The  banyan grew

Under the Holy Basil.

Animals  encaged humans

 For  display.

The mystery deepened

When god  was put on sale.
