Neti Neti
Neti Neti, I am not the Body
Neti Neti, I am not the Mind
If I am not the Body and Mind
Who am I? This must be defined
Tat Twam Asi, I am the Divine Soul, I find
If the Truth you want to know
Then on a Journey, you must go
You must Realize 'You are That, not this'
Until you realize the truth, there will be no bliss
Then only will Heaven open its door
Ghor Avidya is Gross Ignorance
I lived with the Myth, in a trance
Because I didn't know this was just my name
I got caught in my wealth and my fame
And the Truth...
Neti Neti, I am not the Mind
If I am not the Body and Mind
Who am I? This must be defined

You must Realize 'You are That, not this'
Until you realize the truth, there will be no bliss

The Law of Attraction
Does the Law of Attraction really work?
Can visualization do the trick?
Let’s look within to find the real secret
Look deeper for the truth to pick
‘Mangoes, mangoes, mangoes,’ if you dream
Will the fruit grow on the tree?
It is the seed, Oh dear, that you plant
That will grow to be, what you see
But the whole world is talking of Attraction
‘Just desire and make your dream come true’
Desire is good to start what you want
But it’s Action that is the final cue
Attraction without Action doesn’t work
Look deeper...

Who doesn't want to be Happy?
We all seek Happiness
We search for it from birth to death
But the true treasure of Bliss we miss
Success is Happiness, we were taught
And in this myth, we were caught
We won and we lost, we succeeded,
and we failed But Happiness we forgot
Happiness is like a Shadow, you see
The more you chase it, the further is goes away
But if you stay still to enjoy it
You will see that with you, it will stay
Happiness is not a product or a place
Nor a person that can give you Bliss
Happiness is a...

PEACE...WHEN THE MONKEY BECOMES A MONK
We are all seeking Happiness
When all we want is Peace
When we turn within, we will find it
And our stress and worry will cease
Peace is an inner thing
It is a state of Mind
If we can only be quiet
This treasure we will find
There is a Monkey within
That jumps from thought to thought
Our very own Mind is the thief
That must in our quest be caught
And so, we lose our Peace of Mind
As we fill our Mind with junk
If we want to restore Peace within
We must make the Monkey a Monk
Until we stop...

Life Manual
We all have been given this gift of life
But we don't know how to live
We forget to read the Life Manual
Today, this to you, I give
This Life Manual that I share
Is what I have experienced
It's not theory, it's practical
It's the way I have lived
Who are we? Why are we here?
This we were never taught
We live through life and soon it's over
But these questions, we forgot
Are we the body that lives and grows
And then finally dies?
Or are we something else, which at death
Into the universe flies?

EGO
For God do we all search
In temple, mosque, and church
Little do we know that the ego does hide
That very God that lives inside
We must let go of the ego
If God we must find
And for this, we must realize
The biggest enemy is the mind
But first, it is the ego
That keeps saying 'I' and 'me'
It dominates our life so much
That God we cannot see
God is not on a faraway planet
Nor an old man with a long white beard
God lives in the temple of our heart
Alas, his voice is not heard
The...

Be Happy in the Now
What’s the use of crying, in a Yesterday that’s gone?
What’s the point of worrying, in a Tomorrow not yet born?
Why not live in bliss and joy and peace?
In the present moment be happy, be happy, can we please?
Be happy in the NOW, this moment is a Gift
Smile and dance and celebrate, don’t just exist or drift
It is in this moment, that we can choose to be happy and glad
Let’s not lose this moment, to memories that make us sad
Yesterday is a place, that we just can’t go
The past is an illusion, it’s like a dream- a stage show ...

The 4th Factor
There is a 4th Factor on earth
It controls our life, it gives us birth
It is beyond what man can know
It has laws that manage the show
Man thinks there are factors three
With a saw he thinks he can cut a tree
To him, the doer, the equipment and the act
Are enough to create any impact
But then sometimes, he blinks and thinks
The sails were fine, yet the ship sinks
They did their best, captain and crew
But the results didn’t happen, that is true
And still does man do his best
He puts every effort of his to test ...

The Ladder to Heaven
Do you know that there is a Ladder to Heaven?
For all to climb, be it man or woman
But we mustn't stop at step seven or eleven
We must go on till we reach our heaven
Many of us want to go to God
But we don't know the truth about our Lord
We just go to a temple, mosque, and church
Instead of going on a quest to search
The first step to God is Belief
For those who don't believe, how can they achieve?
There are some who are atheist or agnostic
A life without faith, they choose to pick
But the ones who believe,...

Fear
The whole world is in panic
The whole world is in fear!
They don’t know what the truth is
But they are zapped with what they hear
A virus has attacked us!
It is going to wipe out the world!
It is going to kill us all…
Through the media, we are told
Is it a danger, is it real?
Or is this just a myth?
As long as we live in fear
We will never realize the truth
Of course, it has killed thousands
And it’s mainly the old
The young will mostly get away,
With a fever, cough and cold

Soul
What is the Soul, have you ever thought?
Or is it a mystery in which you are caught?
We all have a Soul, we seem to know
Let's realize the truth before it is time to go
It is the Soul that makes me live
But, is it the one that makes me forgive?
What is the function of the Soul?
What does it do to make me whole?
Body, mind, heart and Soul
Each has a specific role
The body moves and the mind does think
The heart beats, and the Soul? I blink
I have been taught that the Soul's in me
It makes me who I am...

Who Are You &Why Are You Here?
One day when life was full of peace
My mentor said something to tease
Who are you? Why are you here?
What is your life's purpose, my dear?
Are you going to just float and die?
Or find out who you are and why?
Are you the body? Are you the mind?
Go on a quest the truth to find
Questions made me start my search
I went to the temple, mosque, and church
Who was God and where was He?
Where could heaven and hell be?
How was I born? What caused this 'I'?
What will happen after I die?
I started my quest to Find the truth ...
