Peace is Me



where there is light there cannot be darkness
for darkness is the lack of light
and not a real entity

where there is love there cannot be fear
for fear is the lack of love and trust
It is essentially imaginary

where there is knowledge there cannot be ignorance
for ignorance is the lack of knowing
it isn't a disease that needs curing
but a layer that needs removing

Light is hidden within the darkness
Love is hidden within the fears
Knowing is hidden within the ignorance
They are ever present but I chose to run from them

when I love my fears, I understand them
they cease to be frightening and cannot pose any threat
For fear is a lack of understanding
that wherever we are, our need for love will be met

So my fears are forever demolished
my ignorance burns away
when I realise these are but my assumptions
of my own lack in love

Love is within me, Love is me
I can give it any other name, perhaps God
my fears, ignorance, hate and shame manifest
When I chose to avoid seeing my own truth,
When I failed to see that my truth would set me free

Free from the bondages of the living
Free from the bondages of death
Free from the bondages of time
Free from such incomplete illusions

When I choose to see me completely
As this boundless, infinite entity
I cease to react and I choose to respond
Clearing off my karma, breaking cycles and bonds

When I identify as nothing
I see my ego go and humility grow
I see infinite peace pervading me
For I am that peace

When I identify as everything
I see my compassion grow
I love each atom of my surroundings
And I aid them with Divine timing to follow 

When I identify as a manifestation of the Divine
I grow to love and serve It with zeal
I crave to go back to where I came from
I no longer suffer, for I am peace.

But what if

I know I can sing but what if I get a roasting? I know I can dance but what if I mess up my chance? I know I can write but what if it's not right? I know I can seize the stage  but what if I stutter and disengage? I know I can act but what if I can't make an impact? I know I can speak but what if I sound meek? I know I don't want to be like the rest but what if I am not the best? I know I can put up a fight but what if I fail downright? I know I want to be in my own skin but what if I don't fit in? I know I have a voice but what if nobody accepts my choice? I know I can soar high but what if nobody wants to see me fly? I know I have my own vibe but what if I never find my tribe? I know I can stay strong but tell me, just for how long?

Indian Premier League - Past & Present

Hello dear readers of Parinaama!!!  Your editor here!  Glad to meet y'all in another post (after quite some time I must say), that too in this special one. Why do I call it special? – because it indeed is - to me, to the blog, and by the end of this article, to you as well. A quick glance into my profile on our home page will tell you that I’m an avid sports fan, with specialization in cricket. It was a long time thought of mine that I should express my sports enthusiasm in a form of art that I’m fond of – writing. After lots of thinking, hesitation, and taking inputs from our very own Author, I decided that the splendid combination of my 2 amazing hobbies shall take place in none other than the ever-safe space of Parinaama. * manifesting a job like this * So, readers, it is with great happiness and joy that we, at Parinaama, present to you the very first article of our Sports Blog. Let me give you a little background t o present an insight into how the Sports Blog shall proce...

Our Eternal Mother

The universe knows my struggle As I face nightmares in my sleep It knows my ecstatic happiness When I achieve my dreams within this dream The awakening is tough When I force ^  myself to become aware That my reality is but maya (slumber) That my consciousness needs elevation In the name of renunciation  Don't force yourself dear little one The eternal universe warmly says What use is it to show the secrets of the cosmos,  to a half awakened child who would rather prefer its  sleep? What use is it to show nectar To a tiger loving its meat? Come to me when you're ready little one, f orever awaiting your arrival, i will be Fear not the world you leave behind, f or I am the true reality Forsake your ahamkaara* Forsake your sense of self For you are a dramatist emoting my script A director's actor, a breathing puppet Take however long to arrive at this realization Fear not death, for it is but the next ...
