Life

Published by airatmaninravi@gmail.com in category Poetry with tag desire | God | Life | mind | soul

Life is a mystery ‑ We can’t track its history

It may seem to start at birth and seem to end at death

But what seems to be life’s end…

is but a bend to transcend

 

Body, mind and soul are what make life whole

But then comes death and we lose our breath

We mistake Happiness to be life’s goal

Until we realize – No! We must liberate our Soul

 

The saddest thing is we don’t know the meaning of Life

We live and we die with sadness and strife

We want this and that to be Happy and Glad

But we end up being miserable, greedy and sad

 

 

Life is a journey ‑ Like a river, we must flow

From God we came and to God we must go

Life is a Drama ‑ we desire and we crave

But nothing will be ours when we go to the grave

 

We foolishly think we are the body and mind

Till we get the “Aha”, we are the soul we find

We don’t know where we came from and don’t know where we will go

The Goal of Life is to reach the other shore

 

Most people don’t live life; they just seem to exist

The cravings of the body, they just can’t resist

They are so busy, no time to go on a quest

To find out who we truly are, putting life to a test

 

Of course, we are not the body – in the end, it will die

Are we the mind and ego? No, at death, they will fly

We are the Life Energy that departs at death…

We are the life itself that gives us our breath

 

We live in ignorance; the truth we don’t find

We forget that we are the soul, not the body and mind

The God that we seek in a temple or a church

Lives inside our own hearts – a place we don’t search

 

We are not this, not this….we are that!

Not the body, not the mind, the soul, in fact

The purpose of life is to realise this Goal –

We are not the body and mind. We are the Soul!

–END–
