Life is Just a Minute
Life is just a minute - only 60 seconds in it
Forced upon you - can’t refuse it
Didn’t see it - didn’t choose it
But it’s up to you to use it
You must suffer if you lose it
Give an account if you abuse it
Just a tiny, little minute,
but eternity is in it.
Forced upon you - can’t refuse it
Didn’t see it - didn’t choose it
But it’s up to you to use it
You must suffer if you lose it
Give an account if you abuse it
Just a tiny, little minute,
but eternity is in it.

Karma, Death and Rebirth
The Karmic account doesn't stop at death.
It continues life after life.
At Death, the Body Dies but ME (Mind + Ego)
with Karma is reborn!
Death is not the End.
It is just a Bend.
Our Karma makes us live again and again
and the cycle continues.
As long as there is Karma,
we are reborn.
And as long as we are alive,
we will be creating Karma.
It continues life after life.
At Death, the Body Dies but ME (Mind + Ego)
with Karma is reborn!
Death is not the End.
It is just a Bend.
Our Karma makes us live again and again
and the cycle continues.
As long as there is Karma,
we are reborn.
And as long as we are alive,
we will be creating Karma.

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

What is Karma?
What did I do Oh Master!
That God brought you my way?
What would I be without you...
Struggling in darkness every day?
You caught my hand and led me
On the path for Truth to find
And finally to liberate me
Realizing I am not the body or mind.
You live in my heart forever
As my Guru and God on Earth
How can any words of gratitude
Express what is your true worth!
That God brought you my way?
What would I be without you...
Struggling in darkness every day?
You caught my hand and led me
On the path for Truth to find
And finally to liberate me
Realizing I am not the body or mind.
You live in my heart forever
As my Guru and God on Earth
How can any words of gratitude
Express what is your true worth!

The A to Z of Karma
The Law of Karma is very deep
As we sow, so shall we reap
The bad we do will make us weep
And the good that we do, we get to keep
It's a Law of Action, a Law of Reaction
It's a Law that says, we get what we give
A Law that ensures what goes around comes around
A Law that's for everyone on this ground
The Law of Karma is born from our Dharma
Karma is a Law, A Universal Law
A Law that watches all our actions
And a Law that ensures the same reaction
If we plant tomatoes, we won't get mangoes
If we plant cactus,...
As we sow, so shall we reap
The bad we do will make us weep
And the good that we do, we get to keep
It's a Law of Action, a Law of Reaction
It's a Law that says, we get what we give
A Law that ensures what goes around comes around
A Law that's for everyone on this ground
The Law of Karma is born from our Dharma
Karma is a Law, A Universal Law
A Law that watches all our actions
And a Law that ensures the same reaction
If we plant tomatoes, we won't get mangoes
If we plant cactus,...

My Guru
Yes Dada! I realize I am nothing but I live in ignorance.
I need Thy grace.
I need God's Grace to be liberated from this ignorance.
Without you my Guru, what would I be?
Continue to lead me,
my dear Master to the one reality.
Continue to guide me.
Continue to bless me.
I need you. I can't do without you.
I Love you.
I am nothing.
I know! I realize.
And I realize I don't know what I know.
Only you can make me realize this by opening my 'real eyes',
My Guru, my Mentor, my God on Earth
I need Thy grace.

Can You Find The Rascal Mind?
My mind is king; I thought it is everything!
It makes me blink; it makes me think
It gives me joy until I die
The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find!
It is my memory; it is my mind
It is my intellect - one of a kind
My greatest treasure is my mind
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!
The body I can see; the body I can find
Likewise I am sure; I have a mind
It is not yours; I know it is mine
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!
...
It makes me blink; it makes me think
It gives me joy until I die
The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find!
It is my memory; it is my mind
It is my intellect - one of a kind
My greatest treasure is my mind
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!
The body I can see; the body I can find
Likewise I am sure; I have a mind
It is not yours; I know it is mine
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!

A Cosmic Drama
Nothing is real; it's a Cosmic Drama
We are just actors; we come and we go
There will be laughter; there will be tears
Such is the Cosmic Show…
It's a drama you see
Whatever will be, will be
Our role we must do, you see
What will be will be
Nothing is real; it's just a dream
There is no murder; no need to scream
Just a projection; it's just a show
We must wake up and go
It's a drama you see
Whatever will be, will be
Our role we must do, you see
What will be will be
The earth is a stage for His Cosmic...
We are just actors; we come and we go
There will be laughter; there will be tears
Such is the Cosmic Show…
It's a drama you see
Whatever will be, will be
Our role we must do, you see
What will be will be
Nothing is real; it's just a dream
There is no murder; no need to scream
Just a projection; it's just a show
We must wake up and go
It's a drama you see
Whatever will be, will be
Our role we must do, you see
What will be will be
The earth is a stage for His Cosmic...

Who is God? Where is God? What is God?
I searched for God in temples
But nowhere was He found
I looked into the skies and waters
And everywhere on the ground
To me, God was a statue
I prayed to Him for years
I was in love with my Lord
And I used to pray with tears
I thought God lived in the temple
It was Heaven in every way
I used to talk to my Saviour,
Morning, night, all day
God gave me everything I wanted
There was nothing more to need
I used to be ashamed of myself
When I looked upon my greed
I had everything I...

Chicken or Egg?
Chicken or egg - what came first?
Can't find an answer that will quench my thirst.
“Of course,” said the chicken, “it was me.
Without me, how could the egg ever be?”
This question goes round, and round and round,
But to most, the answer is never found!
For without the chicken can an egg be laid?
“And how could there be a chicken without me?” the egg said.
This question was asked but found no answer for years…
Till a wise man solved the mystery with wisdom and tears.
“Neither was the egg first, nor was it the chicken.
The plan...

I am not I. Who am I?
I am not who I am!
I have a body, but am I the body?
I have a mind, but am I the mind?
I have an ego, but am I the ego?
Who is the me that I am?
Am I a butterfly? No that’s not me.
Am I a bee? No that’s not me.
Am I a tree? No that’s not me.
I am me!
Who is the me that I am?
I am not who I think I am
I am an Indian – No, that's my nationality
I am a Hindu – No, that's my religion
I am a male – No, that's my gender
I am not who I think I am!
I am not my car
I know what I am not
I am not my...
I have a body, but am I the body?
I have a mind, but am I the mind?

Life
Life is a mystery ‑ We can’t track its history
It may seem to start at birth and seem to end at death
But what seems to be life’s end…
is but a bend to transcend
Body, mind and soul are what make life whole
But then comes death and we lose our breath
We mistake Happiness to be life’s goal
Until we realize – No! We must liberate our Soul
The saddest thing is we don’t know the meaning of Life
We live and we die with sadness and strife
We want this and that to be Happy and Glad
But we end up being miserable, greedy and sad ...
