Illusory appearance

Freedom from illusion

Is ability

To penetrate ignorance.

Mirage appears

Real to those ignorant

And an illusion

To those intelligent.

Illusion is dissipated

By knowledge.

Once dissipated,

Illusory appearance will be there

But the understanding will change.

The world is of illusion,

With illusory

Appearance, to the learned.

Accordingly they tend

To react to the things around.

Must we be smart?

In a race where low brain boys were running,

One stumbled down on the way attracting

Other boys to stop their race and reach to him.

Lifting him up, they, with him, resumed the race.

Collective interests have scored over

Self-interests thanks to low intelligence.

Marriage is a voyage.

Marriage is not the safe anchorage

As everyone is taught to believe,

But a voyage in uncharted seas.

Setting out, the couple would know it.

The knack to succeed

A whore is disposed to show and assure

Her customers with equal love and touch,

Each man going out with an impression

That he was pleased most and that he’d return.

The flourishing one takes such like position,

Pleasing all those who dislike each other,

Each one is leaving with an impression

That he is held best and that he’d support.

Man’s manoeuverability

A woman is not open in love.

She will be beginning to dread

And yet be drawn to a new man

Till the latter succeeds the dread.

A man can well lose a woman

In case he oversteps her fence

Or in case he lags behind her lens.

It’s a pity he rarely steps rightly.

For fewer humiliations

Growing in position,

Acquiring power,

And getting wealth and comforts

Are the fodder for ego.

I don’t want my ego

To fatten and stiffen.

Rather be it tender

And supple so that

I can pursue my life

With fewer humiliations.

The conditioned mind

Two eyes apart, one nose below between

And one mouth still below is the set up

Of a face of human or an animal

To which our seeing has been conditioned.

Any change in number or position

In the face is indigestible to eyes.

How if the Hindu Epic is enacted

In European or modern costumes?

Imagine Jesus in Lord Krishna’s make up.

Everything is evaluated

From the conditioned vision and concept.

Assessments come from the conditioned mind.
