HAIKU:
Zephyrs kiss the rose
Its breath dances gleefully
My soul drinks beauty.
This sweet atonement
My Heart 'wakens to the Light
A dawn unfurling
Awake! O Lover!
The moon and stars are dancing
The nightingales sing
The virgin morn smiles
Renewal is its glimmer
Spring awakes the rose
Wisdom from the Master
"True freedom does not lie in speaking ill of the world, or in speaking ill of an individual or individuals. Again, true freedom does not lie in merely appreciating and admiring the world or humanity at large. True freedom lies only in our inseparable oneness with the world’s inner cry and its outer smile. The world’s inner cry is God the Realisation. The world’s outer smile is God the Manifestation.@ - Sri Chinmoy
Quote on Freedom
I Bask in The Light That Never Sleeps. A Free-style Sonnet
For millennia, I lived in a tunnel with crows
And shadows. The cold winter chill with which
Greed engulfed me, was at times my sole
Companion, until Love paid a visit to my abyss.
Seeing a dim-lit candle in the distance, I gave myself
To the Beloved, as compassion embraced me, with its vast
Ocean of celestial sweetness. Now instead of walking in the
Darkness, I am entranced by the splendour of glimmering Lights.
The redolence of jasmines soothes my Spirit, and I
Dance with the grace of butterflies; the elegance of swans.
The melody of starlings, sing to me of Spring; I smile as the
Sunflowers waltz to the breeze, unfurling their magic in meadows.
Long and wearisome was this sojourn! But ballads of moonbeams
Heralds the dawn, as I bask in the Light, that never sleeps.

The Light of The Rose
The Enchanted Home-coming
I play the ecstatic music of the Flautist,
As I go forth to manifest Her melodies.
I offer myself like the delicate breeze,
Dancing with willows in the breath of Spring.
My Heart is pining for Shyama’s Love,
As She lifts me, like a bird, and I glide
Into the magenta hue of autumnal leaves,
Soaring in freedom with light Zephyrs.
Into the sunset of the valley of golden lanterns,
I hear the choo, choo, choo, of my destined train,
And I yearn for the coming of my sunrise. The
Effulgence of the moon, has sent me an invitation.
My soul, now captivated by its beauty, rains joyful tears,
Eager to enjoy the symphonies, of an enchanted home-coming.
- Manatita, The Lantern Carrier. 29th April, 2016
Hope, a precursor to Freedom
Wisdom from the Master
"In the inner world, woman and man have equal freedom to cherish the mind’s inspiration, the heart’s aspiration and the soul’s realisation. Furthermore, inspiration is woman; aspiration is man." - Sri Chinmoy
