घोरं काननवनम

There is a thick undergrowth, which pulls my leg whenever I try to move forward…there are huge trees, with huge trunks and thick foliage that hardly let the sunlight in…the trees are brimming with activity, the birds and bees busy with their lives…the sly snake is doing a slow ascent to the unwary bird’s nest…there are many poisonous insects and reptiles in the undergrowth waiting for food in any form…the rustling is interruped by the sweet bird-song.So much of sweetness and beauty, yet so much of danger.I too am an inhabitant of this jungle…will I become a maniac with so much danger surrounding me?
Will I lose my identity with so many varieties of beings surrounding me?
Will I ever learn to throw away my cares and worries with a melodious tune?
Will I ever develop an individuality of my own?
And i have to pass through this jungle everyday, Iam a child of this jungle…but what will happen of me??

  3. Explore, and explore diligently
    Be curious,
    At times be preemptive,
    Often be adventurous,
    Keep a pinch of salt,
    Add a bit of spice,

    Keep a mark on whence you started
    So that, when felt lost, can always trace back,
    Keep an eye on where you aimed,
    So that, when felt disoriented, can always focus forth.

    Among the canopies and underneath, there is life,
    tranquility
    and beauty.

    Amidst the wilderness, the blues and greens sojourns to poetry.

    Dare...
    You shall stand up and see
    At first, a beam of light,
    a stream of hope,
    a flood of compassion
    that shall lead...

    Tread...
    You shall make new roads
    and shall discover
    hitherto unlived worlds...
    hitherto unseen dreams...
    hitherto unheard hymns...

    March...
    You shall conquer
    the bounds of lust and temper
    the posts of evil and infatuation
    the gates of serenity and composure.

    Race...
    afar beyond the gloom,
    there is a spring blooming to its full!

    Reach!
    Be brave and never doubt,
    Trust in yourself, and you shall!

    'cause that is what life is all about!


    AG, Glad to have bumped onto your blog!
    Best wishes!

    सधैर्यवती सचैतन्यवती सश्रध्धावती भव।
