In last one week, I have tried almost
everything. Morning yoga to classical music; spiritual discourses to
meditation, but the promised land of Inner peace is nowhere to be seen. I must
be doing something wrong. Some say it’s a rookie mistake, like new joinees in a
gym look at their biceps in the mirror the most. I tell them, it’s only logical
since only they can observe a lot of change when after pumping iron for only 5 minutes;
hands seem to be 10 kg each.
Why don’t I get Inner peace?
I want to know the reason please.
Quick Quick! That’s my plea,
Whether I choose it or it chooses me.
With each passing day, I was more
inclined to believe Fran Lebowitz who said – “There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and
death.” But I was willing to make one more effort, so as a good seeker, I picked
up a pencil and started writing down probable reasons and their likeliness for
me seeking the peace. Here was the result:
I do not have any depression, jealousy,
anxiety or fear,
I am not a slave of desire, can see my
future so clear.
Undoubtedly I have a clear purpose, an aim,
an objective,
I think I am troubled by peace itself, in a
robe that’s deceptive.
Sometimes the journey for seeking
peace starts with peace itself. Human mind is an ever seeker and it will keep
seeking till there is something to seek.
So Inner peace, I have a grudge
against you for coming to me so quickly, now I have to seek something else.
What about that girl with long legs!!!!
Nice poems!
