🌷 Beginning Of Inner Peace...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele
Actions generate energy, to return to us
Whatever we do, comes back to us…
Getting as per deserve's a misconception
It's a mathematical n physical expression
Action creates reaction n it's a pattern
This isn’t mysticism, It's an observation...
To live d life, is our purpose
We're here to be part of a Cosmic Order
None of it works for survival
N also to feed our soul...
What feels like a contribution,
It’s our essence's extension...
If we seek d fulfilment,
Finding it isn’t optional, it's d prerequisite
We've a right to perform our duties,
We R not entitled to fruits of our activities
This is d essence of non-attachment,
Which is, do d work n give away d gift…
This isn’t about passivity.
It’s like releasing expectations precisely
About doing what is right becuz it's right,
Not becuz of any potential Benefit.
Without tracking d mental spreadsheet
About our spiritual credit n debit...
We need to understand d action,
N consequence of an Intention…
Suffering mostly stems from attachment
To result that can’t control involvement
We believe joy lies in specific outcomes
Relationship, Recognition n Promotions
But these external circumstances,
When achieved won’t give lasting peace
We waste lots of time in evaluating
Our experiences, rather than Living
Often we miss d actual moments...
Becuz we’re too busy judging things
Art of letting go begins
By recognizing roots of d attachments
Non-attachment is appealing in theory.
But d practice proves harder, practically
Let's notice our reactions patiently
When plans change unexpectedly.
Let's Observe the tightness in our chest
When critics criticise our work that's best
When expectations go unmet…
Let's feel d disappointment...
These moments R our teachers.
Each one reveals an attachment.
Each one offers an opportunity for release
A tight grip to an outcome can be noticed
Fear of rejection n of inadequacy.
Fear of insignificance n inefficiency
These core fears R d reasons,
They drive most of d attachments...
D illusion clouds our perception of reality.
D great illusion of our controlling capacity
We believe we direct our lives...
We imagine that our own plan thrives…
We think our grip on circumstances,
Can determine d outcomes…
But reality tells a different story.
Losses, Relationships end it's all misery
Health fails, plans collapse…
Universe's indifferent to our preferences
His wisdom echoes n guides us...
Focus on action alone, not on it's fruits
We control our efforts, intentions,
Our emotions n responses...
But all happens according to forces
Far beyond our influences...
Accepting this truth isn’t our defeat,
But It's D Beginning Of Inner Peace…
