Consciousness is the soul.

What is Soul? Consciousness is.

Where is it? In the brain radiating;

Consciousness is life energy

That activates like electricity.

What is death? The death of the brain.

With this, dead is the consciousness,

Which spells out the death of the soul.

There is no exit of souls from deaths.

Consciousness transmits to a new one

Through gamete cells that fuse

To form a zygote to an embryo.

The parents’ consciousness later dies.

Consciousness is off at death

As electricity is off when fuse goes off.

The body dead is the organic feed

For other organisms ending with plants.

Men are conditioned.

Goddess Parvathy for composure;

Goddess Lakshmi for grace and beauty;

Goddess Saraswathi for wit and wisdom;

Their images are made likewise.

A woman of composure will arouse man.

A woman of grace and beauty will endear man.

A woman of wit and wisdom will excite man.

But these Goddesses don’t; men are conditioned.

30.12.2014

Posthumous treatment

He is the founder chairman.

He is the former President.

He is the ex-director.

He is the commissioner retired.

They are toothless lions now.

They are no more held in awe.

Soon they would be forgotten.

What would be after their deaths?

30.12.2014

Spouses are unequal.

Man and woman are not equal

When they are made husband and wife.

Woman seeks man better placed;

Man seeks woman better looking.

Equality if at all sought

Is in their rank and background.

30.12.2014

Man’s treatment to God

A child bathed a doll, clothed it and fed it.

It put the doll in a cradle and rocked it.

The child lulled it to sleep like a mother.

It was benefited and the doll unmoved.

30.12.2014

Positive thinking is not rosy.

Positive thinking has its negative side.

It breeds in-activeness and acceptance.

Accepting the negative for what it’s

Can find action for the alternative.

India is batting; one after the other

Comes to the crease and gets out and leave.

I spin hope on each batsman for runs yet.

This is positive thinking belying hopes.

He met an accident and fractured his leg.

Thank God! He has not lost his life, I thought.

He had asthma and not cancer. Thank God.

This is positive thinking to self-console.

Stop giving positive attributes

For every failure you encounter.

It will make you a seasoned absorbed one

And leave you to be taken for granted.

29’12’2014

Spend time in working

The brain deposits from seeing and hearing.

The brain delivers from writing and speaking.

Watching phenomena make deposits.

Working phenomena make deliveries.

Deposits make the brain passive in acts.

Deliveries make the brain active in acts.

29.12.2014

The scar and the stain

The scar and the stain sustained

From the failure of love affairs

After the physical intimacy

Won’t go away from the pair’s memories.

The scar is hers when he deserted her.

The stain is his when she ditched him.

29.12.2014

Logic gives way to the might.

A sense of logic is always there

In every decision taken.

An edge of the might put its weight

On the decision that has been made.

The result gives advantage to the strong.

Fight for socialism like prostitution stays.

29.12.2014

The self-rule

No outsider is to rule my country;

No outsider is to rule my region,

My religion, my sect and my clan.

No outside influence to my family.

Other than me, no one is to rule me.

Intrusion and invasion are irksome.

29.12.2014

The space is from nothing.

The space is everywhere –

Between you and me,

Between sons and moons

And is the whole universe.

The space is omnipresent-

Between two materials,

Two molecules, two atoms

And between proton and electron.

The space is the wide base

Everything is placed in-

Matter, energy and mass.

The space connects these things.

The space is between water and heat.

The space is between body and soul.

Even emotions have the space.

Everything exists in the space.

The space contains vacuum;

The space is spread with darkness.

The space has come from Nothing,

Which is begin-less and endless.

29.12.2014

Fundamentalists

They defend a religion I profess;

They uphold a religion I practice.

They work in a manner I despise.

They indulge in violence I abhor.

I mind my way, indifferent to them.

I live away, unmindful of their likes.

I avoid establishing any track.

I’m identified with them by the rest.

I am blamed for being quiet with them,

For having some soft corner for such ones,

And for not screaming loud enough at all

To shut their fringe down open inpublic.

I am embarrassed to mingle with the rest.

I am ashamed to be a part of the peace.

The fundamentalists must give me allowance.

The society may take me to confidence.

28.12.2012

Love for love not to be

It is not that love fetches love.

It fails in many occasions.

Charisma calls for a shot.

Promise of the face does the trick.

Some command love without reasons

From those ready to act as slaves.

Man’s love for woman is on deaf ears.

It is not that love fetches love.

28.12.2014

Happiness is not preventive.

A capsize put a stop

To the fate of the riders.

A heart attack put a stop

To the surging statesman.

The tragedy put the ends

Of Romeo and Juliet.

Happiness will answer

Only the moments at hand.

It will not guarantee

The time and events ahead.

28.12.2012

Time with Space

Time is in a linear path that runs

Towards an unknown but a certain end.

Born with Space, Time must exist with Space.

Time must have no entity without Space.

Time is a distance measured in Space.

Leap Year is a measure of Time in Space.

Life is Time bound; matter and energy too;

Because of the earth movements, we mark Time.

Time is compartmentalized to count.

Such time is earth bound, and upon the earth

It differs east to west from every point.

A country’s Standard Time is not the world’s.

Eternity is the absence of Time,

Which is beyond the universe and knowledge.

New Year is a threshold in Time Path,

To assess the past and access the future.

28.12.2012

Be a finger of the hand.

Let your child win a game or in a sport.

Let your child win over fellow students.

Let your child win a name from inventions

Your child must win through in the life pursued.

Don’t press him to beat someone in study.

Instead, press him to beat others in service.

Press him to work as a team with a push

Like a finger at work with other fingers.

27.12.2014

Keep the thought free.

I should have done it;

I should not have done.

Regrets disturb my thoughts.

I must get through it;

I must get over it.

Anxieties cripple my thoughts.

I have to undergo it;

I have to overcome it.

Commitments engage my thoughts.

I cannot digest his rise;

I expect his downfall.

Jealousy perturbs my thoughts.

I can’t bear injustice;

I can’t bear insult.

Revenge occupies my thoughts.

No freedom is freedom

Unless thought is free.

keeping thought free is in you.

27.12.2014

They die before you do.

Praises of you are sweet only to you.

Photographs of you smile only at you.

You pile and preserve both, with which you beam.

They go to the grave before you go there.

25.12.2014

The safe ground

Causes similar, anger may vary

In its density and deliverance.

The weak and the same feather are hard hit.

They both provide a safe ground to strike from.

25.12.2014.

Old age gripping

Incentive fails; energy fails;

Invention fails; memory fails.

Anything of any value

I may fail to write, age gripping.

25.12.2014

Gratitude to parents

When you dedicate, do it to parents.

When you think of the past, remember them.

When you have chances, speak the good of them.

When you hang photos, let theirs be such ones.

When you help the ones, be them they’ve endeared.

These are minimum ways of gratitude.

25.12.2014

A pauper died.

A vast funeral he fetched for himself.

He didn’t and couldn’t know about it.

Yet he worked for it by sheer service

So that his kids would be proud of his death.

25.12.2014

Music is the bliss.

Either sing a song or listen to one.

In music a singer forgets himself

And the listeners too forget themselves.

Without prejudices they immerse in bliss.

25.12.2014

Live while you live.

Momentary and temporary

Is the taste of the food that we eat.

The taste cannot be resurrected.

Yet we go for rich food with an effort.

Momentary and temporary

Is the taste of the life that we live.

The taste cannot be felt after the death.

Yet we must go for a life refreshing.

24.12.2014.

Man dangles without woman.

A woman nearby, man has an itch

To reach her and get a hold on her

As a vine reaches a stake nearby.

Man and vine dangle without a stake.

24.12.2014

Religion is a recreation.

Worships and rituals are recreations.

Masses and lectures are entertainments.

No reform takes place from these indulgences.

Yet we beam the God is in our favour.

21.12.2014

Seedlings survive the tree.

Ancient literary works are interpreted

By many and translated by many.

An interpretation is a deviation.

A translation is a deviation.

The writer’s intention is overwritten.

The tree has been replaced by its seedlings.

21.12.2014

No cross in continuity

Day is not cross with Night

As Day thinks Night follows

Because Day goes out

And not that Day goes out

Because Night chases it.

Like your successor

And value your predecessor.

21.12.2014

Fear unites.

Siblings that are rivals

And neighbours that are cross

Would unite in the hours

Of crises or grief; mind.

20.12.2014

The couple’s love

She loves her child as it clings to her.

He loves his wife as she leans on him.

Clinging and leaning bring about love.

The empowered women lean no more.

19.12.2014

Tamil on decline

No more Tamil Medium schools,

Tamil will die a slow death unknown.

In a hundred years it’ll be

Like Sanskrit as literature bound.

If at all it remains it’ll be

Like Tribal dialects as home bound.

18.12.2014

Movement incidental

Water flows down the river

Partly by pulls of the gravity

And partly by push of entries.

One moves up a ladder

Partly by pulls of vacancies

And partly by push of entries.

Your stage is not different.

Don’t let the air inflate your head.

18.12.2014

Fate rules the outcome.

A batsman is out from his mistake

Or from the bowler’s cleverness

Or from the mistake of the umpire.

One’s fate curbs one’s destination.

17.12.2014

Feed the ego

Stomach needs food; so does ego.

Stomach and ego not to starve;

Unlike stomach, ego enlarges

Like a balloon with feeding on.

Respects and reputes feed ego;

Greed and power too do the job.

Knowledge and skills feed one’s ego;

Hunts and conquests too do the job.

Showing mercy is ego’s food;

Taking revenge too does the job.

Being humble is ego’s food;

Causing fear too is ego’s food.

Earning goodwill and gratitude

Is a good source of ego’s food.

Listening to your conscience

Is a soothing bed for your ego.

Pride is the food of luxury.

Being useful is the rich pride.

To keep promise is the high pride.

To fear shame is the noble pride.

Pride is the fiber of the muscles.

Pride is the nerve of the body.

Rigidity is its character.

Flexibility is its potentials.

With others in mind feed ego;

With the past in mind feed ego.

Find a ground for ego to browse;

It need not be vast at high cost.

17.12.2014

A home coming

Abandoning me, my parents returned

To join their parents. A home coming;

Abandoning my children I shall return

To join my parents; let them bear with me.

17.12.2014

Repetition Compulsion Syndrome

Habits that lost meanings are practiced;

Rituals with purpose lost are performed.

Thoughts irrelevant now are yet pursued.

Repetition Compulsion is at work.

Lack of will power and fear of consequence

Might work against discontinuation.

An illusory identity comes

To stay obsessively despite discomfort.

Known devils fare more than unknown angels.

We repeat what was held well in the past.

Death follows birth; it’s in each one’s thought.

Death-wish is the cause of self-sacrifice.

Death is nothing but just liberation.

Each one has an innate drive to get free

From the bonds, fears and repercussions,

All that the birth has brought with it to stay.

The innate desires to be free of bonds

Is not met with meaningless sacrifices

But is met with shedding inhibitions

About irrational habits and rituals.

17.12.2014 

Gamble with faith

Faith stands yet to be proven.

It may turn to be true or false.

To have faith is to gamble.

To gamble on it with a man

Might prove deadly or costly.

To gamble it with the unknown

Gives confidence but no loss

In case it turns unfruitful.

17.12.2014

Brain is the link.

The brain is the seat of mind and heart.

Emotions of any sort spring from there.

Experiences are embedded there.

Knowledge and thoughts are deposited there.

The brain is the pole life revolves around.

One’s individuality lies in one’s brain.

The memory is its depository.

With death brain is dead; with it link is cut.

17.12.2014

Soul and air

Each life dead is a bubble burst.

Life exists with its awareness

And the bubble exists with its air.

The awareness and the air lost,

They cannot trace their existence

And they are as good as unborn.

14.12.2014

Death defies planning.

Death is a mystery; it cannot be timed.

Nor is its manner, which cannot be planned.

Horrible death can happen to anyone,

Be he a seer, the wise, a king or a prince.

14.12.2014

Vanaprastha

Plants suffer pruning as a price

While grown in a garden.

People suffer the same effect

While being in a society.

Like a tree growing in a forest,

Must man find his vanaprastha

On his superannuation.

Vanaprastha means living a life

Quite aloof of one’s society

To be free of the peer pressure

Experienced in the society.

12.12.2014

[Vanaprastha the third stage of the Hindu’s life after family life is over, by being away of socital and family bonds.]

Realistic goals

Alexander the Great died at thirty two.

His goal had been to conquer the whole World.

Adolf Hitler committed suicide.

His goal had been to capture Europe.

Both set ambitious and distant goals

And ended their life from frustration.

Set not a goal high, out of pure zeal.

Set not a goal distant, for a life.

Seeing situations, set little goals.

Happiness is to maintain and not attain.

12.12.2014

The disturbing force

Selfishness is a defensive action.

To not die but to survive is its drive.

It’s always a disturbing force alive.

It is felt more in a close relationship.

09.12.2014

Women rediscover.

Men younger would find women older

Intellectually stimulating,

Mysterious and fascinating.

Women older would find men younger

Energetically stimulating,

Unattached and come without baggage.

Women above forty are bolder;

Men around twenty are much tender.

Women are anxious; men are curious.

Desired by younger men, women feel young.

Desired by older women, men feel high.

Their aspirations attract each other.

No-string-attached type relationships

Serves as handy for such combinations.

She’s a mentor and he, a propeller.

Freed of clutches, women assert themselves.

Cleared of taboo, men show their courage.

Women rediscover bliss shared with men.

08.12.2014

Give guilt chances.

Wrongly or overly punished,

If you fail to retaliate,

Guilt will work in the offender

And you’ll be compensated.

Otherwise, you can retaliate

By which you aren’t benefited.

This is true in all relations

In which the offender is stronger.

08.12.2014

Truly holy^ r

Gandhi’s ahimsa means nonviolence;

Nonviolence means non-injury-

Non-injury in thoughts, words and deeds.

Thoughts breed words or translate themselves to deeds.

One can avoid swords or using bad words.

To refrain from harbouring harmful thoughts,

Born of scares, is difficult to employ.

The one who succeeds is truly holy.

08.12.2014

Be held high

When you call one by name you can feel high.

When you embarrass one you can fell high.

When you are vindictive you can feel high.

When you don’t, by them you’ll be held high

08.12.2014

To please so as to live

Some we please with pleasure.

Some we please from pressure.

Both we do for some purpose.

Whose share is more is our fate.

08.12.2014

Choosy for mercy

We show no mercy to fish, goats and pigs

That we hunt or slaughter with spree.

We show no mercy to ants and insects

That we kill with chemicals  profusely.

Cats and dogs are our objects of mercy

But rats and snakes are taken into task.

Frogs are killed to teach anatomy;

Mice are tortured in the research labs.

Hunting spirit usurps feels for mercy.

Winning mood suppresses feels for mercy.  

We show no mercy, caught by jealousy,

Revenge or rivalry, on others’ downfall.

We show mercy only in a chosen field

Where we are safe and where we won’t to lose.

Is there any sanctity for mercy

That we boast of as a human quality?

30.11.2014

Uniqueness of life energy

Life energy, unlike other energy,

Has an unrelenting drive to survive

With a desire to beget offspring.

Life energy is formed only from it.

30.11.2014

No more wrong

A wrong usage in a language

Out of ignorance of usage,

When followed as if correct,

Will stay as a correct usage.

28.11.2014

Passion: pro and con

Passion is the strongest emotion

And is released as love and anger

From sexual love or from beliefs

Rooted in religion or identity.

Passion is the cause of reproduction

And of the attitude for creation.

There springs bias and nepotism

As a means of safeguard to oneself.

Passion promotes you and demotes as well.

Passion brings you dividends and falls as well.

Be passionate when you love and care.

Be dispassionate when you judge and deliver.

28.11.2-14

Remember the forgotten.

An old song scene seen on the screen that day

Reminded me that I’d seen it long back.

Otherwise, it’d be out of knowledge

That the song is in my memory kit.

Things forgotten are in a long slumber

And to recall them is to wake them up.

Otherwise, many such sweet memories

Would be in sleeping mood and die unheard.

Nostalgia for the old days is sweet.

Relish old songs and forgotten faces.

Visit people and places once endeared.

Revisits touch the heart more than new visits.

28.11.2014 

Artificial are plays.

Exaggeration in all emotions,

Imagination in the story lines,

Over emphasis in dialogues,

Extravagance in makeup,

And artificiality in scenes

Are in the display of the movie

To suit stupid audience.

28.11.2014

Evolution in sexual acts

Vegetative reproduction,

Asexual reproduction

And bisexual reproduction

Are the stages in evolution.

Masturbation adoption,

Homosexual relationships

And heterosexual ones

Aren’t, hence, strange to man in sex.

28.11.2014

Gays are helpless.

Breasts of woman will arrest eyes of man.

Nipples of man have no glamour to woman.

Nipples of man far more than woman’s breasts

Are endeared to, and sought for by gays,

Signaling that homosexual attraction

Is inborn and not an adopted act.

27.11.2014

The exception

Knowledge is not bought with books bought.

Skills are not bought with labour hired.

Love is not bought with a spouse owned.

But care is bought with parents  got.

25.11.2014

There must be people around.

A lone couple in an island,

Well provided for livelihood,

Would not remain satiated

Unless they are with the people

To advertise about themselves

And use them as a tool to scale.

25.11.2014

Love implicit

A man and a woman can be in love,

Emotionally or sensually,

Without letting it known to each other,

And drive sexual pleasure unembarrassed.

25.11.2014

Hindsight coloured

Hindsight serves a cue to foresight.

Insight takes it to a good sight.

Hindsight is generous or dismissive,

Depending upon one’s motive in it.

The vested interest might influence

The hindsight in politics, with no regard

To the public interest, which results

In man made sufferings to the subjects.

24.11.2014

Practise dispassion.

Vairagya means dispassion.

Turning the mind away

From the influence of, say,

Wealth, power and lust.

Pursuit of wealth, one can forgo

For one’s survival.

Pursuit of power, one can forgo

For one’s survival.

Pursuit of lust. One can forgo

For one’s survival.

Practice it as much as you can.

That much you can benefit.

It’s like works linked wages.

24.11.2014
