Spring
In spring
The tender leaves spring
And release the coiled mind to spring
And fling
The thing
That till then did wring.
In spring
The little birds sing
And sling the depressed mind to swing
And bring
Bells of joy
To ring and cling.

Topsy-Turvy
You would have seen
Flowers bearing fruits.
Have you seen
Fruits producing flowers?
Yes! Nature is made artificial!
How is it? Can you surmise?
It is the art
Of carving colourful flowers
From different fruits!
Nature is turned topsy-turvy!

Vouchsafe Yourself to God
If there's a pot with a hole
Water poured into it flows out whole.
When in water is immersed this pot
Water in the pot is fully got.
In this world money is enough never
But if you vouchsafe yourself to God
Happiness fills you for ever and ever!

Be Divine
When you step high you are a monument
And you leave the steps below subjacent.
Then you shackle off your shallow ignorance
And gain knowledge and are in loftiness.
Your selfishness is then in obliteration
And Divinity in you is in manifestation.

Ecstasy
Poems! Oh! Poems
You are the calm
To my turbulent lot
And the balm
To my aching heart!
With your soothing touch
You pull me
You lull me
And you cull me!
Fountains of joy
Spring forth
And encompass me!
I'm lost
In the undercurrent
Of ecstasy!

Material Wealth
In the balancing scale, you know,
The weightier pan tilts to be low.
Similarly if your mind is in the mundane level,
Filled with thoughts of material wealth to revel,
Your mind's scale descends in degree,
And it becomes distanced from God's decree.

Veiled Feeling
Like cheerful birds
Chirping in May
In colourful saris
Chattering away
The working -ladies fly
From office at five.
The next door house-wife
With jealousy heaves—
But who can comprehend
Those impetuous feelings that stir
The inner recesses of her heart?

Incline towards God
From Sun emanates heat
which is very hot.
From God emanates love
which is very cool.
Incline towards God
and you'll be cool
filled with
pure, immaculate love,
and delectation.
If you stay away from Him
you'll be hot
filled with
misery and baneful woe,
with dejection.

Exiguity of man
The high peaks
With tall teaks,
Look down upon man
As he them seeks.
The steep dales'
Lush green vales,
Sneer at man
As he them scales.
The deep seas
Waves never cease,
They deride man
As he them sees.
Nature is mighty
With all its bounty,
Man is miniscule;
A small entity.

Thirst for God
When in penury
Man hunts for wealth.
He is then ever in thirst
And in quenching it he gets crazy.
In the process of amassing wealth
He loses his health.
And to his spiritual psyche
There strikes an injury.
If his thirst is channelized towards God
He comes under the umbra of His Mercy.
