 PEACE AND SOLACE

Poem by Bharat P. Bedi

I attend prayers,

in devotion & faith,

for peace and solace,

aura of peace surrounds,

physically I am present,

mind wanders around,

mundane thoughts abound,

agitating my mind,

to keep peace

out of bounds;

 

I go to satsang,

ardently hear sermons,

for peace and solace,

eyes are fixed

on the source,

can catch the meaning

behind the discourse,

preconceived notions,

blocks the mind,

derails true meaning

behind preaching,

as pathos are missing,

in my daily course,

I fail to inculcate

ethos of teaching;

 

Alone in silence,

for peace and solace,

I sit to meditate,

as mind meditates,

efforts to concentrate

goes to waste, 

stillness of thought fails,

vagaries and perils

of daily life prevails,

mind tries to mediate,

but fails to be at rest;

 

I listen to soulful hymns,

for peace and solace,

praising paeans of Lord,

can feel the rhythm,

humm of chanting hymes,                      

swooning swaying,

I am all ears,

mind is tuned

to rhythm of stillness,

but cacophony of world,

drowns the silence of sound;

 

To atone for,

known and unknown,

sins committed,

for peace and solace,

trying to accumulate

wealth of good karmas,

by publicly doling out,

donating to charities,

helping the needy,

physically mentally,

intentionally unintentionally,

am very careful,

not to hurt anybody,

deeds are noble,

am overtly pious;

 

I am faithful,

I have faith in God,

that one day, before

soul leaves the body,

I will be blessed,

I will be one,

body and soul

will be together,

physically mentally,

will be in unison,

will be one,

be one with self,

will be as one,

in love with the world,

in peace with everyone.

SOCIAL BALANCING
