Healing

healing may look like
joys of spring
evaporating into
tears of sorrow
drenching you like the monsoon downpour
as your soul changers colour
Like the autumn leaves do
melancholy dries and sheds off
to empty you
frozen you lie still
resting
Under pristine sheets of snow
til the warm beaming new rays of hope
Melts all this snow
and a new you
sprout like
young tendrils from underneath

भूल गए

चलते - चलते,
मंजिल का पता भूल गए।
रास्तों में उलझे,
था जाना कहां ये भूल गए।
नजारों में उलझे,
था नज़रिया जो वो भूल गए।
ठहरता नहीं कुछ,
था सिकवा - गीला जो कभी वो भूल गए।
है बदलना ही जिंदगी,
जो बदले नहीं वो जीना भूल गए।

मेरे माथे पर चमकीली बिंदिया नहीं सजती,
ना ही हाथों में मेरे चुड़ियाँ खनकती है,
बस एक काला धागा पैरों में
बांधकर शृंगार करती हूँ ।
मै खुद से बेहद प्यार करती हूँ ।

Wise is (s)he
who sees beauty even in chaos.

Very relevant to what is happening right now.

A lot of people are full of fear and anxiety at this time.
And I get it, there is a real threat to people with weak/damaged immune systems.
But guess what weakens the immune system?
Fear and stress.

There are a lot of theories about the virus and I've been researching a bit into it out of curiosity but I feel like in the bigger picture, what's more important to talk about is how we choose to respond to it.

Peace of mind starts with recognizing what is in your control and accepting what isn't.
What is in your control is managing your diet, exercising, sleeping well, *getting fresh air and sunlight* and paying attention to your thought patterns, because they filter your experience of life.

The more you resist and fear what happens in life, the more you become blind.
And the more you accept and live in the present moment, the more you start to see the beauty of it all.

This whole situation has not only been incredible for the environment, but has also given the majority of the world a chance to step out of the hamster wheel of non-stop working- go go go mentality.
It has given us the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and to be reminded of what is truly important.

Relax, stay healthy, and instead of resisting the solitude, see it as a blessing to help you reconnect with yourself and get creative.

Free yourself from yourself.
This is a short freestyle spoken word piece I wrote today.

We are all operating under a personality/identity.
When we meet people, the behaviour we show is like handing them your business card which identifies you.

Every time you meet up with someone, they expect you to behave according to that same identity, more or less. We give some room for small changes in behaviour based on emotions/situations, but generally speaking we expect each other to behave in a consistent identity.

Why? Because it's evolutionary. As long as you stay consistent in your personality, the people around you can predict your behaviour and reactions, which provides a sense of safety and security to them. Unpredictability is unsafe.
So our minds are conditioned to stick to an identity (which is formed through a combination of many factors--nurture and nature).

99% of people live their entire lives without ever questioning whether the concept of a personality is actually the truth of what you are.
We just assume that our personality is who we are at the deepest level.

But as you start to take your attention away from everything outside of you and turn it inward, you start to observe yourself in each moment and notice that you are acting. Always playing this character.

The fact that something deeper in you notices that you're playing this character proves that you are not this character. So what exactly in you recognizes that you're playing this character?
This the question you have to find the answer to.

This character that you and your friends and family hold onto is limiting your experience of life.
As soon as you recognize this secret,
you start to burn away your limitations
and grow into your true potential in this life.

Your actions stop coming from past conditioning. You act spontaneously in each moment.
You don't need to maintain an image for other people.
You genuinely say and do what you feel in your heart in each moment without the pressure you used to put on yourself for pleasing the people around you.
You open yourself up to possibilities.
You become more grateful and start to move in harmony with life.

This is true freedom. And true spirituality.

Can't just live
and try to keep out of prison.

Human being,
you really got to see how you're living.

Breaking out the prison of your mind
makes you realize that everyone
just lives in a prison.

As you start to become authentic and let yourself be free, it's like a light starts to shine out of you everywhere you go.

Most people have been hiding in the dark caves of their limited self-images for decades, so when they're suddenly exposed to the light of your authenticity + freedom, it's like a flashlight shining in their eyes; they'll immediately want to dim your light.

Because your light exposes their conditioning. It exposes that they've been hiding their true self for decades, and it forces them to see themselves, which is very uncomfortable.
So your presence will subconsciously make them feel insecure.

Depending on the person, they will either be inspired by your light, look at who they really are and come out into their own light.
Or they will have to dismiss your energy mentally.
And the easiest way to dismiss someone is to paint a negative picture of them in your mind.

So they'll perceive you as a "show off" or assume that you're trying hard to stand out, because they have no other way of making sense of your freedom.
Of course they won't say this. You'll notice it in a subtle snicker or subtle joke when you dance, sing, or express yourself in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

In a subtle way that hides their insecurity, they'll try to undermine you. To pull you back down to their level as if to say "You're not better than me so stop acting like it."

Most people will quickly 'dim their light' to make these people feel more comfortable around them. But as Marianne Williamson said, 'Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.'

Any time you go through a storm,
when it seems everything is going wrong, and your life is in chaos and your future is doomed, there is a simple yet profound recognition that frees you from this suffering.

And that is to recognize that the chaos only exists because you are continuously projecting it in your mind. Worrying/stressing about the future can only exist in the form of thinking.

Don't let your mind sabotage your peace in this moment by thinking about some imagined future. The storm is mainly this imagination.
Simply stop feeding your thinking/worrying and snap your attention back to this moment right here right now. this endless Now is always the eye of the storm, and it is the only reality.

When you return your attention back to reality, you realize you're just chilling on your chair/bed, completely peaceful in this moment with no real threats to you whatsoever, other than the threats of your own thoughts about the future.

I can hear you say, "but I have real physical problems with real consequences that will come up, and they're terrible... "

Yes I understand. There is some level of planning that is required ahead of time for some situations (a lot less than we imagine, but still). If you need to plan, then take a few minutes to plan. Do what is in your control and then LEAVE IT.

Whatever happens will happen. Most of the time we spend the entire week worrying and freaking out about what will happen and trying to plan every little thing we'll do, and then when the time actually comes, something unexpected happens and everything just works itself out, one way or another.

Maybe if you learned to be present and to flow with life instead of trying to force your projections onto life, you would start to see the opportunities that present themselves in each moment. Ironically, you would handle the situation better if you simply stay present rather than spending the entire week worrying about it.

When you let go of trying to control how things go, you will start to see that life takes care of life. You will trust Life once again, like when you were a pure child. Then you'll see the peace and blessings that were here all along.

It is only your expectations
and thoughts
that stir up an illusion of a storm.
of things gone wrong.

In the eye of the storm
aka in this moment
right here, right now.
there is a perfect stillness.
a perfect peace.

Stay as this silent stillness.

The second you say, "I've left the old me. Now I've found my true self" is the second you start believing in a new self-image.
In other words, it's the second you start a new cycle of deceiving yourself.

We go on defining and redefining ourselves our entire life.
putting on mask after mask.
not realizing who/what exactly is trying on all these masks.
not realizing who/what is playing these roles in this play of life.

Think about who you were 10 years ago.
Really think back and picture the person you thought you were back then.

Now think back 5 years ago. When you laughed embarrassingly at the 'you' from 10 years ago. If I had asked you 5 years ago "who are you?" you would've said "I have grown a lot, and now I've found myself".

But look at how much you've changed now from 5 years ago. If I asked you now, you would say the same thing. That you were young and a bit foolish 5 years ago but now you've found yourself and that this is the real you.

The wise realize that self-images change, beliefs change, and personalities change--and so they drop these concepts completely.
If you truly see this, if you know this, you will realize that what you are cannot possibly be defined by a personality.

There is no "real you" that you unlock when you improve yourself to the right degree of confidence, skills and personality traits.
So I'll save you a lifetime of searching for, and trying to become this perfect self.
It doesn't exist.

So then what is the truth of who/what you are?
If not a personality, then what exactly are you?
This becomes obvious as you empty yourself.
Empty of any self-image, empty of beliefs, empty mind in each moment.

Be empty and observe, with this question silently in your heart, as you move thru each moment of life.
If your search is true, you will find true inner peace.

Who are you?

i remained faithful to
the mere memory of you
long after you had gone
because meeting someone
else's gaze felt like
a betrayal,
and after all what excuse
could i possibly offer you
if you chose to return

yours were still the only
hands I'd ever craved?

Why is it that inspiration
always comes at the most random times?

Like when you're sprinting 'cause you're hella late, or when you're hands are full of dish soap and you're scrubbing away...

I feel like it's a game the universe plays with you.
Like yo, imma throw some incredible inspiration/creativity at you, but at the most random times.
And you're gonna have about one second to capture it in some way before its gone, forever.

Oh and it's not just one thing, it's a wave that comes. Like a live speech that has already started, and I gotta bust out a typewriter to keep up with typing the words, while listening to the speech as it's happening.

That's pretty much how every poem/verse of mine happens. Or at least that's how it starts.
Once I write down a chunk of it, sometimes I'll go back and be inspired to add more to it.
That's exactly what happened with this little verse.

Never thought I'd quote lil Wayne in my poetry posts �� but here's some deep bars from the man:
"Life is such a f*ckin' rollercoaster, then it drops.
But what should I scream for? This is my theme park.
My mind shines even when my thoughts seem dark."

There's going to be ups and downs in life but don't get too caught up in them.
Let this temporary journey of life be what it is without trying so hard to control it all the time.
When you trust Life and start to simply observe with a quiet + empty mind, you'll start to notice the peace and blessings that were here all along.

You simply had your attention elsewhere so you couldn't see. You were too focused on talking to your mind about every little up and down in your life. Too busy trying to mitigate risks, analyzing, predicting, complaining, wanting more, etc.
Too busy in your mind to see the peace and blessings that have always been right here with you.

Some people vent.
Some don't. so they vent in.
I invent a couple bars to put my vents in.
Breaking out these bars-
don't just put a couple dents in.
I'm dancing. on this rollercoaster-
keep no hands in.

Life is bunch of ups and downs.
don't give too much attention.
Watch what watches everything-
you start to see the blessings.

Peace and blessings.

The universe is made of vibrations of unique frequencies.

All of existence dances to it's own spontaneous rhythms in the never-ending Now.

Don't try to resist certain rhythms, just flow with what comes your way and trust Life.

As Rumi said, 'all has been sent as a guide from beyond'.

Life is passing by. Are you living in it?
Or are you constantly living in the movie playing in your head?

This movie world (aka the world of thinking) is blinding you from living in reality, like you're living in your own hidden bubble within the real world.
If you've ever practised listening to the voice in your head, you quickly notice that it never shuts up. ever.

So what is it exactly that's constantly keeping you in this movie world, this world of thinking?
The secret cord that attaches you to it is:
the main character of this movie.

In each moment you are absorbed in either thinking about this character's upcoming future or ruminating about this character's past.
Your whole life, you have been playing the main character of this movie that's constantly being projected in your mind.
Your whole life you have assumed this character is you.

But how can you be this character/voice in your head if you can observe it?
Who are you who is observing this character speaking in your head, telling stories to you?

This you have to find out for yourself, repeatedly inquiring every time you catch yourself in the world of thinking.

Who is the one telling the story and who is the one listening to/watching it?

Which one are you?

Life is short.
please don't blink.
In other words,
please don't sink
into your thoughts.
into the stories
your mind speaks
'cause you are lost.

To find yourself,
just find the one who lives as you
and see it's not.
Intruder caught.
What's left of you
when you are caught?

What's sleep to you
when you woke up?

Moving on can be tough, especially when that means leaving behind people that used to mean so much to you. But taking that breath of fresh air after removing toxic people from your life is worth it. Don't let people who are only wrapped up in their own negativity suffocate you. They need to make the choice to save themselves.

Your career, your relationship,
your friends, your clothes,
your lifestyle.

Which of these choices
are you subconsciously making
to avoid judgement
from your family, your friends and your culture?

And which ones
are you making consciously out of love?

Essentially these are the 2 basic emotions
that drive our decision making.
Most of the time you choose subconsciously.
Be conscious of your choices and choose wisely.

Of course we have some limited choice.
For example you can choose
to read the rest of this caption
or to just keep scrolling.
But in the bigger picture,
we don't really have control over other people
or what happens in our life.
If we did, then our lives would be "perfect"
and we would only ever experience
love and positivity.
But obviously this is not the case
since we are constantly experiencing things
that are painful/undesirable etc.
Because we don't control life.
Matter of fact, we don't even have control
over our own thoughts.
Do you get to control
what you're going to think about
throughout your day?
No, thoughts just randomly pop into your head.

Those who observe closely,
will see that Life takes care of life.
An incredible inner peace comes from this.
I wish this peace upon you.

Demonic Justice

I cant carry these demons every night.
It's in my life,
It's by my side.
Even if I'm on the road.
I'm not alone,
"Ahhh! Leave me alone!!"
Demons coming in me,
Take a piece of me every night.
I am sick of legions;
I'm trying to fight off those dark knights.
Demons keep on coming every time I encounter life.
They're like bags of luggage
"Jesus Christ! Your're made of bricks!"
There goes one more now.
Hold up! let's have a ultrasound.
There's no penis found?
So the demon not made of vain,
It's the demon of shame.
Insane...
