Yes, knowledge can’t be automatic, We can realise that we pick up along the way! Our senses teach us, may be, even the idiosyncracies and our follies. Everything seems like scientific reasoning, does it not? I can see a child at play, learning to even love, As if love was just a mere sensation? Kant? Or emotion, for that matter? Do you think we start withContinue reading “Immanuel Kant, is reason above everything, even above the soul?: A poem “

Nietzsche, Hesse, my identity is my own, like yours is yours!: A poem
We are a fabric of ourselves, like a light shining inward, without a belying education; and shining outward in defiance! What would we choose to be the enemies of mankind for upholding the truth? A truth that resolutes us and gives the firmness of bones to our souls, should we seek leisure in falsehoods and snap our cores? But we will never be tepid as those fraught with deception, because we see Continue reading “Nietzsche, Hesse, my identity is my own, like yours is yours!: A poem “
Plotinus, I see as you saw!: A poem
What is the pursuit of happiness, Does it boil down to achievement, pleasure, indulgence or coveting? We can be as unthinkingly selfish as children are at times, giving back love or loyalty, a rebuke! And we can be parents who think material gratification is the love they owe their children. The necessary gifts are not handed out, they are exemplified! Was Santa the biggestContinue reading “Plotinus, I see as you saw!: A poem “
Don of La Mancha; and the windmills were a watery deluge!: A poem
Would you believe that I am an illusionist as much as I am fed by illusions? Would you have my powers to discern blindfolded and deluded, then? I have never just begun to realise the dichotomy of my love and loyalties, or the perversion of my spiritedness, the manipulation of my thoughts, words and deeds to suit treachery I have understood in myContinue reading “Don of La Mancha; and the windmills were a watery deluge!: A poem “
I know love survives heartbreak, because true love doesn’t break: A poem
I can figure out the disfigurements And make infrastructure out of every fracture I am not a loss of ingenuity, in the overwhelmingly intimidating connivance. Even time has no substance! I can grow self upon self; and never forget the self that lies buried deep under. This is a condition of my earthliness. I don’t need archaelogy to discover whatContinue reading “I know love survives heartbreak, because true love doesn’t break: A poem “
Epictetus, I have two ears and one mouth; but I still don’t take advice: A poem
Epictetus, you know I believe in stoicism, much like you; but I discern and beg to differ! There are words hidden under the pillows of appearances, which take your comfort away But there are many more obvious, as you wake, that only feel soft and nurturing, but are like seeds that breed weeds in your illusory garden! The truthContinue reading “Epictetus, I have two ears and one mouth; but I still don’t take advice: A poem “
So much to do in loneliness…: A poem
So much to do in loneliness! So much to find! So much to hide behind! The birds are flying from one rooftop to another; and I am only seeking the rooftops, not wanting the homes under them; not seeking the lives in store not knocking at the windows, not knocking at the doors…not wanting…not panging, pining Continue reading “So much to do in loneliness…: A poem “
And the stoic spoke to the cynic…: A poem
We can’t be widowed from existence if we seek no desire That earth still lives and still owns its crystal flaming fire You can see that we turned down wanting for wanting the flame of a presence in absolute unrandomness of inventing our own Schrodinger’s box without the blackbox of all conventional behaviouralism. And every quark that forms its multidimensional state abounds without the gravity of presentContinue reading “And the stoic spoke to the cynic…: A poem “
Leo Tolstoy, unlike you I never stood on the edge of a precipice: A poem
Would you have faith consolidated as you grow older Every layer that falls upon layer, like magma that heats with excitement of revelation and cools and solidifies into wisdom? You know, Leo, I can see you hanging on the ledge of a precipice, when you lost faith in your childhood religion, feeling threadbare, and wandering so faithless. I just thought, I too lost faithContinue reading “Leo Tolstoy, unlike you I never stood on the edge of a precipice: A poem “
Mother, shining with sunlight, I ask you a question?: A poem
Do you think I can never have the seat of justice, no throne of truth? What would I do then, if an eternity passed me by, just wielding the philosophers’ stone, like a thingamajig without an iota of magical outcomes? What would I feel reposed on, a siege perilous? With everybody dancing in the darkness of self-preservation,Continue reading “Mother, shining with sunlight, I ask you a question?: A poem “
