Continuity

 Continuity

Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.-C. S. Lewis

Big shots were small shots

Who continued to shoot

A seed grows into a oak

As it continues to grow from the root.

Life on earth continues to exist

as the sun continues to glow

If the earth stops rotation for a second

Life will cease to grow.

Growth is a result of continuity

and continuity result of persistence

This universe is a result of change

And continuity a reason for existence.

Life grows till it continues to breathe

Current flows till continuity is maintained

A resilient man continues to try

Even after success is attained. 

Journeys of life continues in body form and out of body form. Nothing ceases ever and those who cease to grow shall decay and die. 

Forgive and Forget

 Forgive and Forget

Time says forgive, eternity says forget.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

It needs the utmost courage to forgive while the enemy is defense less and you are holding a sword. 
-Vasant Khisty

Hurt  is the mother of anger

and vengeance a burning coal 

Which ignites from within as long it is fanned

and burns down our own soul.

To forget, forgive and let go

is the virtue of the sages

men have wielded swords in revenge

and wounds have never healed through the ages.

The bravest man who walked this earth

Hanging on a cross he prayed

forgive them lord for they do not know 

And he blessed the men who betrayed.

Gouging an  eye for an eye

And this whole world will turn blind

Thoughts of vengeance scratches the wound

And revenge is the act of insane mind. 

Vasant Khisty

We are human and in the process of transaction with other humans we may feel betrayed and the immediate reflex action is the seek revenge. While taking revenge we must dig two graves as revenge never closes and concludes and it triggers a series of revengeful actions. 

 

Cosmos

Cosmos 

I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose.― R.J. Anderson, Ultraviolet

Our biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can't name the tune.― Deepak Chopra

As I look towards myself
And then look toward the sky
I am humbled to realize my limits
As I cannot see the edge however I try.

Earth, size of dust in the cosmic ocean

A creation timeless and infinite

And yet man living on a grain of sand

Seems to comprehend the creator as finite.

A man limited by three dimensions 

And body made of elements five 

Claims to have seen the creator 

Though he can't stare at the sun live.

Yet some souls who dived within

realized we are the cosmos in motion

The drop that is condensed within us 

Surfaces itself on settling of the commotion. 

Every thing is in mathematical order 

and every thing has a defined  place

The cosmos operates in a rhythm

Logic enough that a creator created the space.

We human smaller than a insect, living on earth as small as invisible dot, look at the cosmos and comprehend and imagine the creator with hand and legs like human and then start owning it and proving it superior than others imagination and the fight over it. We are limited by a brain a product of clay and yet we claim to know the creator whilst we cant stare at the sun for a moment. As Rumi said God spoke in silence rest is poor translation or interpretation.

Puzzle

 Puzzle

The bigger picture of life gets clear when all the pieces of puzzle come together.  

The beauty of life is that its a puzzle
Its the mystery that needs to be unraveled
The mystery gets slowly revealed
As you walk on the road less travelled.

Life is fun as it is unpredictable

It reveals layer by layer as the onion gets peeled

As the small pieces fall into place

The picture eventually gets revealed. 

And life is like a beautiful song

And as each word take their right position

then each  line of the song falls in a rhythm

That is when life becomes a complete composition. 

There is past, present and future

When we look back we can connect the dots

As we connect the dots the present gets clear

And we realize the significance of bright and dark spots.

Vasant Khisty

The beauty of life is that its a puzzle, its a mystery to be unraveled because that is the only purpose of life to see the picture and scheme of things that we belong to. Every mystery is a unique story and when we look back the front gets clearer. 

Destiny don't you dare.... inspired by Rani

                    

Destiny don't you dare 

You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory.”

― Steve Maraboli

Destiny let me see how deep you can go

how far you can throw

For I am made of rock

I shall stand up again and mock.

I am soft as a blade of grass

and no storm can uproot

I am nimble enough to yield 

Strong like a knotted bamboo shoot.

Try hard as you can 

As I am no ordinary man

I may fall and I may cry

I will look straight into your eye.

Don't take it as my arrogance 

But hail me for my courage

I know no one could ever win you

Take notice of me I am no garbage.

Life is rough and destiny can be unreasonable in its test, but then some souls are strong enough to face destiny and stand tall. Destiny admires such souls and uses them for more difficult situations of life. 

The power of words and thoughts

 Raise your words not voice Its the rain that grows flowers not the thunder.  Rumi

It is  the thoughts that have the power to manifest itself. Vasant Khisty

We are all about what we think
And some of those thoughts turn into word
wrap with emotions while  uttering them 
As they can destroy if  misheard. 

A word has the power to create or destroy

And a the thought has the power to manifest

Words that has lead to many a destruction

And thoughts have led to many a conquest.

Raise your thoughts that raise your words

They are more powerful than a raised voice

Words uttered once are like falling egg

As you cannot drop the same egg twice. 

 positive thoughts are meant to be visualized

and soothing words are meant to say

But there are things words fail to portray

What silent tears in the eyes can convey ..

..Vasant Khisty

We are a product of our thoughts. Positive thoughts can manifest into positive results. Words spoken with a thought behind it are always positive in nature and has a positive effect but a thoughtless word can damage and destroy life. 

Serenity

 Serenity

• God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...Keith Miller.

Serenity is a sign of absolute strength

Its as calm as lull before the storm

It has the ability to absorb 

adversity, calamity of any form.

Serenity is also a absolute power 

 That few are privileged to posses

 Those who have mastered calmness

for them being serene is a natural process

Serenity is not a door to escape

Its  about acceptance, wisdom, and change

While most panic with a small adversity

A strong person smiles with calmness strange.

Its in serenity of nature and its creation

That fruits and flowers bloom

Growth is always serene and calm like rain

Nothing grows of the thunder but gloom. 

Vasant Khisty

Serenity is calmness and calmness is the real strength. Calmness has the power to absorb energies and once the energies are absorbed even a storm calms down. 

Intuition

 Intuition.

Intuition is always right in at least two important ways;
It is always in response to something.
it always has your best interest at heart”
― Gavin De Becker

Intuition is the voice of the conscience
and conscience is a condensed character
It is not the chatter of the conscious brain 
but its a silent but loud whisper.

Intuition is called feeling of the gut

and some times its called hunch

Its language of the watchful soul

but it does pack  a powerful punch.

Intuition can never lie as its instant

And always has best interest at heart

Never ever un notice the whisper

If you are a human wise and smart.

Try listening with more than just your ears 

As voice of gut is reflection of wisdom

A silent sage can foresee the future infinite

But  arrogant kings have lost their kingdom.

Vasant Khisty

Belief does not depend upon logic, it is a delicate and fragile flower that draws nourishment from intuition and instinct and hunch.”

Ray Russell, Sagittarius

Manifestation

Manifestation 

Manifest what you want into existence by opening up to the Universe. Let it be known!

The universe is begging to reveal
Reveal what it hides in its breast
Its up to us to scrape and search 
The universe is all ready to manifest.

You manifest what you believe

And not what you wish and want

Your belief sows the seed 

And the universe shall grant.

You are the creator of your vision

With a clean mind and hands dirty

And sweat trickling from your brows

Any dream can turn into reality.

 life itself is a manifestation of thought

and it reveals day after day

As a potter who molds a pot

It shapes our life clay over clay. 

Vasant Khisty

As per law of attraction we can manifest any thing we dream of and put our earnest effort day and night. What we wish to manifest becomes a part of our subconscious then this universe works itself to fulfill it. 

The power of words

 Raise your words and Not your voice - Rumi.

True meaning of words come out of expression
Hence raise your words not your voice,
Word coming out of mind is like a falling egg
You can't drop the same egg twice. 

A word has the power to soothe and heal
and  the word can mend or break a heart
It can be more powerful than an atom bomb
It can tear the whole world apart.

A boneless tongue can wag 

but a word carries with it a responsibility.

Always pause and think twice before you speak

As a word expressed reflects your sense ability.

If you wish to be rightly interpreted

better to speak than write 

As word supplemented with a voice 

Can express the intention right. 

Vasant Khisty

Committed relationship

 Committed Relationship

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”- Rumi

Look at the sun and the moon
They have different space and time
They have been into each other
Though Clouds may cover them some time. 

True love is not just maximum emotions
Love is all about maximum commitment
If challenges of life change the path ways
Then love is about convenience and not sentiment.

We are different and we are human

not a bird who hops from tree to tree

Love is not a bond to bind

but true commitment sets you free. 

Holding one hand and walking

has its own challenges and pleasure

The youth may distract with physical diversions

But then you may never find the eternal treasure.

Committed lover hold each others hand  tight 

To pull back if some one ever trips and fall

Its easy to find and mind different ways 

But once trust is lost, there is no recall. 

Vasant Khisty

To find one person and walk through this life is a privilege true lovers have , rest who come together for convenience may not last this tough journey together. 

Body Shaming & Body Positivity

 Body Shaming & Body Positivity

Too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too anything.' There's a sense that we're all 'too' something, and we're all not enough. This is life. Our bodies change. Our minds change. Our hearts change." —Emma Stone

Don’t let your mind bully your body.” — June Tomaso Wood

Don’t waste so much time thinking about how much you weigh. There is no more mind-numbing, boring, idiotic, self-destructive diversion from the fun of living.” — Meryl Streep

Every one is born with a unique frame
On which the clay gets molded over life time
Several factors in and out of our control
shape of our body do they define.

This body is just a vehicle
 There is no standard of conformance
Just used to travel through this life
More than looks focus is on performance.

Beauty is matter of mind over matter

and perception of looks are subjective

 Creation is based on fundamentals of variation

and external looks can be deceptive.

The nature of human is to criticize

and an obsession to compare

let not get shamming get under your skin

let it be your choice to mend and repair. 

There is no body without a flaw

Its your choice to accept any deviation

What lies within you matters the most

 Body needs your acceptance & appreciation. 

So give a deaf ear to what they say

Give a damn to what others think

What matters is to feel good with what you have

As the most perfect body shall decay and stink.

Respond to shamming with positivity

 let the body serve the purpose for it is born

Every flower has a different fragrance

Different is the purpose of every thorn .

Vasant Khisty

Every aspect of this creation is based on diversity, and every thing created is beautiful.

We compare our bodies to certain aspects of relative beauty but then there are flaws of different kind which don't get noticed. We all are unique with aspects in and out of our control. We need to accept what is not in control and it has to be our and only our choice to acknowledge any scope of improvement against our own standards. 

Attention Seeker

 Attention Seeker

People with an unbridled thirst for attention are usually very empty and trying to fill themselves at the expense of others

..Amelia rose

A man who shines from within
does not need a spot light
The ones seeking attention
tries to steal the lime light.

A person who talks about himself

has no one to hear 

The world shall stop noticing him

and he lives in that fear. 

A child cries and throws tantrum

and if the mother runs with a bowl

The child learns a trick 

to seek attention he has to howl.

Stay away from attention seeker

as they seek attention at your cost

For every time you pay undue attention

Your own identity and peace is lost. 

For some people attention seeking is a habit. And if you become a part of that habit you will become like a mother who gets harassed by a attention seeking child who cries for every thing and needs constant attention whether required or not. In this process the mother herself gets drained out.

Painting

 Painting 

“Every canvas is a journey all its own.”

                                              .Helen Frankenthaler.

We are born with a clean canvas

And with our brush of deeds we paint

Some paint it to become saturn

Some paint it to become saint. 

This brush of life has no rubber

What gets painted can't be changed

Some life are pure in thoughts and deeds

They return back the canvas unchanged.

Some start with background dark

but they fill with color bright

Contrast of dark with shades of goodness

Can also  reflect soothing light.

My life too is a painting

Each of you have brushed some part.

Some times I am not understood

That's why I am called a modern art.

Vasant Khisty

As a child we come with a clean sheet of canvas. Some times the destiny may put a dark back ground which is not our choice but with the brush of deeds we can still paint the canvas beautiful and bright and that's the choice we have.

Macushla my blood my darling

Macushla! Macushla!- pulse of my heart

Girlie Tough Ain''t enough- million dollar baby

And there appeared a girlie 

who was nothing but all heart

walked with me step to step 

with courage tall and smart. 

She said I am strong and tough

Girlie tough ain''t enough.

The world is wicked out there

And the terrain is rough. 

She had a spark in her soul

And I fanned it into fire

Hungry to differentiate 

She rose each day higher.

She took cuts and bruises 

and every obstacle in her stride 

She rose up from every fall 

As I wiped her sweat with pride.

And she conquered the world 

But evil pulled her feet away

As she breathed her last

I whispered Macushla your fragrance shall for ever stay.

Once in a while a child appears with all heart and dreams. They work hard, sweat, take cut and bruises  to the bones and they find a man who takes them where they never realized they could go. I also found a one such heart and I named her Macushla my blood my darling.
