THE BOOK

one day I looked forward;
other day I took towards
the unknown as a guide
by hook or crook I followed!

First I was puzzled;
Then I listened to it;
Gently I felt free
Just like under a tree!

After that i felt something
Blooming amazingly in me;
Finally at the end I realized
That I was THE BOOK

BUT CAN BE

one can learn swimming and
breathing easily and thoroughly;
on their own efforts; but
can not teach others perfectly!

one can understand tact and
fact simply and properly;
on their own practise;but
cannot convince others exactly!

one can realize taste and fate
certain and ultimately;
on their own exercise; but
can not explain others abundantly!

enlightening is possible to
one immediately and purely;
on their own experience; but
can not reveal it to others accordingly!

something can not be;
but can be done on their
own exerscise experience and
prayer with blessings

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

WORDS

words are not only
by letters; but also
by means of minds;
and its experience!

saints used words
to express their experiences;
others to pay attention;
to understand ultimate truth!

ultimate truth means silence
silence is the language of no mind;
no mind means no missing;
let words be just trap!

trap means lead to silence;
silence is utterly blissful;
no word is absolutely right,
and no word is absolutely wrong!

wrong or right, it depends on
how we look at those words;
hence we shall use the words
as same as bliss and freedom!

P.S.MANIVANNAN

FELLOW TRAVELLER

fellow traveler is the person
who leads his life as a travel
he will adjust and accept
his co-traveler with a smile

he share his experiences
in a different manner;
he suggest and guides
his companion to a certain level

he is an observer and
he has a peculiar look
as his own; but he never
expects others or succeed!

fellow traveler will not
follow anyone of the religions;
but of some good things and
ideas of wisdom and knowledge!

mystics sufis,zen and sidhas
can be called as fellow travelers
they don't like to have
disciple on they are not!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

CHILDREN

children are like flowers;
they bloom and spread
happiness like fragnance;
whenever and wherever they are!

they are always in playfulness;
playfulness is not a goal and
then and there; it is here and now;
as they are just to be!

to be a child is to be free;
a child comes from the unknown;
unknown is the state of no mind;
no mind makes no misery!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

QUESTION

a question is a misunderstand
all the questions are meaningless
a question makes many question;
all the answer are not really answers!

question is wrong approach
toward reality; because
no question can be answered;
because questions are mind made!

one can belive that he has got
the answer, but that is just a belife;
when we stop out of understanding;
then there will be no question arise!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

RICHEST LIFE

life is the circumference;
but god is the center;
when we move toward the center;
god becomes more concentrated!

when we seek the center
then the circumference follows
when we are at the center
the whole life is available

the circumference can not exist
without the center; the center
can not exist without circumference
they are part of each other!

eating,drinking,merrying is
joyful, only when we do with
consciousness; that is what
meditation is;this is the richest life!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

philosophy

philosophy is unnecessary curiosity;
one can become deeply involved in it
it is abstract; through abstractions
we will never come to reality!

philosophy is mind's gymnastics
hair splitting;it is far more earthly;
it has trapped many people
and destroyed thier lives!

philosophy is always about and about;
it leads us away from existence;
it goes round an round in circles
it never arrives any where!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

CARNIVAL

human love and god's love are
two ends of the same energy;
human love is gold but impure
but god's love is pure!

passing through fire and mud
will dissolve;but god will remain
master is the fire; passthrough
master, gain experience of god's meeting!

love is divine,sexuality is ecstasy;
it has always brought the metaphor
from sex, and makes meridian;
that sex makes possible to attain!

the innermost core ia meditation;
the outer most core is sexuality;
from nothing to carnival;
this is the journey of sex to heaven

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

ONENESS

Life is nothing but god;
Godliness means love!
Love is nothing but truth;
Truth means reality!

Reality is nothing but isness
Isness means being alive
Being alive is nothing but freshet;
Freshness means blossoming!

Blossoming is nothing but realization;
Realization means renunciation!
Renunciation is nothing but selfless;
Selflessness means oneness

OBLIVION

The Himalayans know nothing
about the beauty of Himalayas;
The fish never feels the ocean
until it is thrown out of the water;

The gardener creating pleasures
never knows the fortunes of life;

familiarity makes people unfamiliar
thus oblivious becomes extinguished!

we always remain unrealized
and we have forgotten ourselves;
Let us start realizing, get conscious
about the beauties of life we have;

LOVE

Waves love the banks;
Clouds love the sky;
Fishes love the water;
Wind loves the earth!
Love is not only between two;
There is no need to gender at all;
As well as even if other kind;
Love is an inner blossom!
The person who makes love,
Will not expect anything else,
Other than love; he is the one
Who is showering not receiving!
P.S.MANIVANNAN

FACTUAL MEMORY

Consciousness is a continuous river;
It is the state of being conscious;
Knowing is one’s own mind;
Mind makes remembrance of memory!

Memory is divided into two;
One is psychological and another is factual;
Psychological memories go on disturbing;
To burden and to destroy our aliveness!

Aliveness means being the present;
Shall we drop our psychological memory;
When there is no psychological memory,
The factual memory is very accurate!

Accurate means just the fact;
Bare fact, naked fact; that
Is in accordance with reality;
Reflects it like a mirror!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

BEAUTY OF LIFE

Life is so immensely beautiful;
When it is only lived totally!
But not to be afraid to live, naturally
Becomes profound and gains depth!

Life in its variety and richness, has
Its joys and sadness; its blessing’s
Its curses; its days and dark nights;
Its childhood; its youth and old age!

The child has a kind of beauty;
Youth also has its own beauty;
Both of these are shallow; they
Are more physical and less spiritual!

But old age has a kind of luminosity;
Something like a flame inside;
Very deep; filtering through; fulfillment!
The rays come outside too!

Death is also a kind of beauty
When it is only lived totally!
Death is simply the last statement;
When it comes we can relax!

Only if we live life with reverence,
With totality; there will be a relaxation;
As the child relaxes in his mother’s lap;
There will be a prayer with gratitude!

PARADOX

Wound gives pain;
Pain is a fire; It
Burns the rubbish;
Pain means cleansing!

Consciousness is purified
Through pain;Pain is
The price for healing!Accept
The pain for the pleasure!

Agony is not a curse;
It is a blessing;Ecstasy;
It is only out of agony;Accept
The agony for the Ecstasy!

Darkness brings the dawn;
Out of the dark night
The morning is born;Accept
The darkness for dawn!

Everything has a price;
We have to pay for it;
Acceptance is the bridge
Of paradox and life!
P.S.MANIVANNAN.

PARENTS !

Parents have some ambitious;
They would like to fulfill
Through their children;They
Want to use the children!

Using the children as a
Means, violence has come in;
As against their individuality;
And children are destroyed!

Destroying children means,
Parents are molding them;
According to their desires;
This looks so unjust!

Unjust is parents are
Forgetting that they have
Own soul;As they may not
Know about soul and GOD!

P.S.MANIVANNAN.

GUEST BECOMES HOST

Poetry is like love;
No need to learn it;
Poetry is love of life;
No one can teach it!

It is a celebration of life;
Give rein to imagination;
A poet is certainly closer
To god than the priest!

Priest can only preach;
But poet can practice;
Whenever he feels joyous
Then it flows as its own!

Poetry cannot be done;
It is not man made;
Poetry sometimes happens;
It flows in many ways!

Poet is neither the doer, nor
The knower of the moment;
It is just like a Guest;
But becomes a Host!

We shall wait for it;
Not to desire for it;
Allow it ,when it comes,
Totally immerse into it!

P.S.Manivannan.

OASIS

Don't allow anybody
To drive on you; as well
As don't do the same;
Stand on your own!

Own means if somebody
Condemn , you are so cheap;
Don't feel yourself cheap;
Think twice before you act wise!

Act means if somebody
Tell, you are so great
You feel yourself great
Be great, let others to be!

Like to be an oasis;
Oasis means garden in desert;
Guilty dates and water,
shade to relax as benison!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

Beauty is reality

Beauty is truth; truth is
Beauty; Beauty is reality;
Beauty is eternal; it is
Beyond life and death!

Life and death are
Only man made ideas;
In real beauty there is
Neither life nor ideas;

Beauty is only when
We can push aside
All man made ideas;
Then there will be reality!

-P.S.MANIVANNAN

I

The I wants to control;
It has been controlling
All our past steps;and
Our present and future!

with so much of I,
A right step can not
Be taken at all;
The is the poison!

Poison means it will
Destroy,whatsoever
we do it creates ;
Ugliness all around it!

I, me, mine all
Are out of mind;
Out of mind our all
Steps are inappropriate!

Appropriate means not,
To act out of mind;
when you are not
It will be appropriate

-P.S.MANIVANNAN
