Our measures of destiny are flawed and not a divination!: A poem 

Do you know our measures of destiny 

in seconds, minutes, hours, days 

is no divination, but a simplification 

of our material existence? How can 

you be certain that you can measure  

light as a photon is light and a dying 

star is as heavy as a humongous crystal 

in the sky? We are only children, where  

our experience, educating us time and  

again, that our old premises of understanding  

were flawed and we have to unlearn them.  

How do we then measure the education that 

we impart to a new generation, that may disprove us later? 

Education is like an anomaly in time, then! 

Where should our beliefs lie, then? …in the 

hardbound covers of dogmatic religion, such that we  

are always blinded by it. I have only been 

alive to believe that my Dharma is my Karma! 

And I must seek advice from the mythology 

that was not dreamed up by an ancestor, 

but was revealed in the silent starlight that  

fell upon the earth, for a sage who can see to decipher 

And revelation is not like language…it is a symbol, 

a pictograph, a glyph. You know a simple mind 

of yore had few words to define his expression 

but had a vastness of telepathic revelation.  

The most original stories were imparted in this 

kind of communication. Laguage was invented 

for those who lacked telepathic wherewithal. 

And it is only a crutch; no matter how singularly 

large be its lexicon, it always falls short of definition. 

So are all our constructs, like a language that is 

groping in the dark! You know, our bodies are only 

reminders that we are prisoners of gravity and  

time and circumstance! Does our language have enough  

words to define them, even if we realise we cannot control them? 

Freedom is in the spirit that can fly to the realms of 

the most original source, and find therein the dream of happiness 

even in the blankness of despair of its present uncontrollable ill-fated circumstance!
