1. मुख्तसर.

 किताबों में क्या बयां करे,

जिंदगी मुख्तसर है...


कुछ ख्वाब, कुछ किस्से, 

कभी ख़ुशी, साथ कुछ फ़िकर है...


कई ख्वाहिशें, कई पहेलियाँ, 

कुछ उम्मीद, फिर भी कई डर है...


कहीं हसना, कहीं रोना, 

कई मंजिल, लेकिन कहीं बेखबर है...


कभी पाना, कभी खोना,

कहीं ठहरना, और कभी सफ़र है...


किताबों में क्या बयां करे,

जिंदगी मुख्तसर है...

5. एक शाम, एक जाम.

रात से सुबह,

सुबह से फिर शाम...

क्या यह ज़िन्दगी,

यूहीं होगी तमाम ?


सुख एवं दुःख का,

आग़ाज़ और अंजाम...

इससे ऊपर उठकर,

है कोई मकाम ?


किसीके शब्द ज़हर,

कोई दिलाता आराम...

क्या मेरे भीतर है, 

आनंद का कोई धाम ?


लगभग सारी उम्र,

सावधानी सरे-आम...

कहाँ छुपा है,

सुकून और विश्राम 


बोझ लिए चलता हूँ, 

इतना सर पर काम... 

किसको क्या साबित करना

पद, पैसा और नाम ?


भाग दौड़ चलती रहेगी,

बैठता हूँ लेकर जाम...

क्या पता कहीं यही हो

जीवन की आखरी शाम !!!

Jaam can be an individual thing... For some it can be a good read, for some, kuch aur...

4. पर्युषण.

फिर एक बार आये पर्युषण,

जिनवाणी का किया श्रवण,

तप करने की भावना रखी,

कुछ किया; बाकी अनुमोदन !


क्या तप किया है आचरण ?

पुछा, और पुछा गया प्रशन (प्रश्न), 

उपवास, एकासना शाता एक दूजे की,

बाकी ११ तप पर कितना वज़न ? 


सत्संग सुने, घंटो स्थिर बन, 

पर अनुप्रेक्षा के कितने क्षण?

आलोचना की गलतियों की, 

ना होंगी दोबारा, दिया वचन ?


अंतिम दिन का जब आगमन,

करना था बड़ा प्रतिक्रमण,

सालभर के कर्मो का प्रायश्चित,

क्षमा मांगी, और की अर्पण !


आज से क्या होगा परिवर्तन ?

फिर वही रफ़्तार वही जीवन ?

८ दिन विशुद्धि के भाव करके,

मैला होगा दोबारा आत्मन ?


पर्युषण का हुआ समापन,

यह मान ले, तन, मन, वचन,

तो मुझे कोई आशा नहीं,

आने वाले तीन सौ सत्तावन ! 


सूर्योदय मान कर चले मन,

उज्जवल हो उम्मीद की किरण,

इस मौके की कीमत करू तो, 

हर दिन है महापर्व पर्युषण !!!

सस्ता समझके फ़ेंक दू तो, 

क्या आये, क्या गए पर्युषण !!!

3. ચેતન ચાલો રે હવે...

 ચેતન ચાલો રે હવે...


સુખના તરણાની પાછળ 

છે અપાર દુઃખના ડુંગર 

વરસોથી સમજાવો છો તમે

હલતું નથી મારું અંતર


હું, મારું બધું અહીં રહેશે 

તો કામ કરવું શેના પર?

જવાબ સચોટ આપો છો તમે

લેતો નથી હું નિર્ણય અફર


મહાદુર્લભ આ મનુષ્ય દેહ
શરીર મન શાસન સભર   
ઠોકી ઠોકી કહો છો તમે
ચાલતો નથી હું, મુક્તિ પથ પર

રાગ દ્વેષ વિષયો ના છોડું
ચાલુ રહેશે ચોરાશી ચક્કર
અવકાશ પર જોર આપો છો તમે
(package) ગુલામીથી નથી ઉઠતો હું ઉપર 

દેશ, પરિવાર, શરીર અને
અનંત વાર બદલાયા ઘર
"ચેતન ચાલો" પોકારો છો તમે 
મારે ક્યાં જવું છે મોક્ષ નગર

સુખ નહીં પરમાં મળે,
સાચું સુખ તો છે અંદર 
"ચાલો રે હવે...એ સુખ તરફ"
ફરી ફરી ઉદ્દેશે "ચેતન" સર

એમને થકાવવા છું સક્ષમ,
પણ એ ઉભા છે, મજબૂત, નીડર,
"ચેતન ચાલો હવે લઇ જાઓ"
સાદી અનંત શાશ્વત ઘર    

ચેતન ચાલો રે હવે...
જ્યાં Birthday ફરી ના મળે


1. Mental Ejaculations.

 

Disclaimer: These are some brutally honest thoughts dwelling in the mind. This is neither to advocate any way or life or religion or spirituality nor against anything or anyone. It’s just the resonance of mind and that too in the current moment. It is all subject to change / upgrade / downgrade / whatever…

In the current phase, Life is flowing well with no concerns. Health is excellent. Money is not a challenge. Loads of loved ones around. Frequent travels to desired destinations. Total Freedom with no one to dictate anything. Work is also balanced with a good incoming money. Fulfilment of desires is happening without much of effort and hardly any (zero) struggle.

No specific desires. Only that the stuff mentioned above should be maintained well.  

Although I say, I am flowing with the flow, the flow is flowing per my desires.

Amid this, a series of enquires pop up and the mind does reply more or less instantly –

·       How long this gonna last?

Maybe until I die!

·       What if obstructions surface?

There might be struggle, trouble and pain but will be resolved, sooner or later. Make the most of it while it is rosy!

·       Why is this all not permanent?

It is not in my hands so enjoy while it lasts

·       What after death?

Well, I don’t remember what before birth so why should I care on what after death!

·       So, does it mean live life as it comes – Eat, Drink, Merry?

Yes

·       Don’t wanna prove existence to anyone?

Not really. Stay harmless, stay happy. Happiness is the best outcome

·       Don’t wanna create something significant as a contribution towards the society / nation / race?

Nothing as such on the head now; am happy being a consumer of what this world has to offer

·       Yet, don’t you think you should be contributing for what you are consuming?

I think I am contributing by being a part of the ecosystem. I am earning for what I contribute at work. For the products I consume (not me alone but the whole system and I am a part of that system), I contribute towards the product and service providers so in that way we all are cumulatively supporting the society by the means of creating and consuming.

·       What about the disparity around? Why someone is born into a rich family and some into a poor one? Why someone is born with some kind of permanent inabilities with regards to 1 or more organs and why someone is born extremely healthy? Similarly why do some outcomes happen in life differently despite similar efforts and situations during the inputs and the process?

I think a simple one word answer is “Destiny”

··    What is the source of this Destiny?

Probably the result of some of my deeds in the past

·       What could be the past before “birth”?

Umm, ya there can be previous birth and some transactions that are not squared during that might need to be settled here

So, similarly whatever is not squared in this birth, can go into the next one?

Yes 

·       Well, so do you have to do all the planning for this life only?

Well, how can I plan for the next life! It is all unknown for me 

·       Can I not ensure that my deeds here are such that my next life can be better?

Yes, but I think I am doing pretty good deeds. As mentioned, I am not harming any human being. I do not have any malicious intentions for others 

·       Is that enough?

Well, what more can I do!! 

·     So this will keep on going from one birth to the another. 

     Do you not want the cycle to be stopped? 

     Well, I don’t think that is going to happen

What makes you think so?

So, since I am here today and if there is a chain from the past, like we mentioned the birth before this one and the one before this one, going to infinite past, there can an infinite future also. Hence, it is better to focus on what I have today, how can I make the most of today and in between, as I find a scope, work for a better tomorrow and leave everything on the nature 

Besides, I do come across a lot of scriptures, text and holy books that talk about self-realization, omni-science and liberation. I am not saying that any of these cannot be achieved. There must be a way to do so, but for that I need to transcend and explore….

Might be continued…or tarnished... or transcended... or upgraded... or downgraded... !! Who knows!! All I can say is I do not take any responsibility if someone wants to take this piece and drive their respective life...

2. Ami.

Ek Saal guzar gaya...

___________________

Sharir - Mann ki rishtey aise, 

Phool aur kaanto jaise,

Sanyog ke waqt, pal bhar ka "sukh",

Viyog poochta "dukh" sahe kaise?


Atma ke sambandh niraale,

Sabhi "siddhasam" hai, keh daale,

Na Sanyog, Na Viyog yaha hai, 

Anant Sukh ke sab, amar ujaale.


Moh, Raag Dwesh jaha hai,

Aart dhyaan rehta waha hai,

Anant kaal se ye bhed chala,

Kahin Raag, kahin Dwesh raha hai


Sarvatma me sam drashti di,

Tab Ek apurva jhalak ki prapti ki, 

Anant kaal ke bandhan tute, 

Shuru ho gayi gaatha mukti ki. 


Bahot sachot sachhai hai jeevan ki

Raag Dwesh Kam karna ho to poora jeevan guzar jayega

Moh ka nirnay..raag Dwesh ke avenues badalta jayega

Focus sirf aur sirf aatma me ho agar...

Raag Dwesh Moh mand hota hota chuutta jaayega

"Choice" karni hai sahi

"Nirnay" lena hai abhi

Chahe wo koi bhi nirnay ho.. nirnay lene se "Clarity" milegi

Ye saaf pata chalega.. kis raaste chalna hai..

Abhi Ghatkopar station pe khada hu

Kaafi pull Thane ki taraf hai ,

Kuch pull Dadar ki taraf hai

Phases me jeeta hu

Because "Anirnay" ka shikaar hu

Waqt ruk nahi raha hai

Isiliye is tug of war me , aaj ki ye sthiti hai ki adhik pull Thane ki Taraf hai (Moh Sansaar) and bahot kam pull Dadar ki taraf hai (Mukti maarg)

Waqt jab khatam hoga (kabhi bhi ho sakta hai) , jis pull ka zor jyada hoga, Aatma usi taraf apni journey badhayega


शरीर  - मन  के  रिश्ते ऐसे 

फूल और कांटो जैसे 

संयोग के वक़्त, पल भर का "सुख" 

वियोग पूछता "दुःख" सहे कैसे ?


आत्मा के सम्बन्ध निराले,

"सभी सिद्धसम है", कह डाले,

ना संयोग, ना वियोग यहां है,

अनंत सुख के है, अमर उजाले !!


मोह, राग, द्वेष जहां है, 

आर्तध्यान रहता वहाँ है,

अनंतकाल से यह चक्का चला,

कहीं राग, कहीं द्वेष रहा है !!! 


"सर्वात्म में समदृष्टि" दी,

तब अपूर्व झलक प्राप्त की, 

अनादि के बंधन टूटे,

गाथा शुरू हुई मुक्ति की !!!!

1. Hosla.

Hosle ho buland,

To hai sab kuch mumkin...

Sapno ko mere, 

Koi nahi sakta chhin!


Iraade par rahu kaayam,

Ummedein bani rahe behtareen...

Purusharth aisa karu,

Ho jaaye ek, Aasmaan Zameen!!


Fal chahe jo bhi miley

sada khud par karu yakeen

Haar Jeet to Manzil pe hogi,

Filhaal, Raasta meri Janasheen


Thank you Suchit for suggesting necessary changes and also recommending to add a stanza!
