Bread

 Bread

There are people in the world so hungry , that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread- Mahatma Gandhi.

Nature gave life that hangs on a thread
It gave air, water, fire, and loaf of bread
And then it gave thirst and hunger to feed
And it gave soil and life in the form of seed. 

The farmer sows the seed with his sweat
and waters it daily till it gets wet
and then he picks up the grains that are best
and the baker kneads it and bakes it into bread.

This life tries to turn us like a delicious bread

Some become useful so that hungry can be fed

It sows us, waters us, grinds us , kneads us

and finally it bakes us under fire

 makes us worthy of being eaten with cheese spread. 

It is the loaf of bread around which food revolves

Fed on the bread human evolves

Some gather fungus and become stale

If we are not fresh, useful and edible as human we fail. 

Vasant Khisty

This life treats us like a loaf of bread. Through seed we are born in the womb of mother earth, then the grains are separated from chaff and the good grains are then ground, kneaded and baked in a hot oven and we turn into a useful human who can be useful for others. 

Silence

     Silence

Silence is the best argument

God spoke in silence rest is poor translation- Rumi

If you want to hear my words
learn to understand  my silence 
My silence is my reply to 
Your aggression and violence.

My silence is not my weakness

in fact its my strength 

Holding on to my silence 

I can walk any distance any length.

My silence rhymes with

the silence of my dear God 

I am sure you listen to me

                              As I whisper in your ear my lord. .. Dr Vasant Khisty

Some times silence can be loud and deafening and it can be the only answer to people who don't understand a word. Silence is strength and not weakness as silence can absorb any energy. 

Wings

Wings 

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”― Rumi

Nature gave you wings 
Not to crawl but to fly
You were born not to surrender
But to try.

Life is short

and too much to see

soar  like a eagle 

don't just hover like a bee.

You wont pass this way again

so see as much as you can see

smell every flower 

and hug every tree. 

There comes a time 

when your wings need rest

so fly over each mountain

                                    as moment now is the best....   Dr Vasant Khisty

We are the privileged one who got the opportunity to witness the miracle called creation. So Why crawl like a reptile when we can fly over the clouds and witness the miracle unfolding.
