Again Gitanjali Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Again Gitanjali



Gitanjali is a book of classical love poetry
And Tagore here trying to compile classically,
Seconded by the joys and sorrows of life,
Already felt, experienced and seen,
The poet trying to share with the Creator
And the same the Preserver and the Destroyer too,
The Flute-player and man the melody of it,
Breaking forth,
Man a pilgrim and life a pilgrimage,
God the Shepherd and man a lamb.

When the soul flutters in the mire of maya,
He seems to be with the concept of
Sagun Brahma, the Divine in Form
But when he readies for a departure
With tears into the eyes of his, a jiva,
With Blackly Yama standing at the cottage door to take
Life-spirit away,
He gets nervous and frustrated
With nothing as the alternative option to opt for.

When the story of maya ends abruptly and with a breakheart,
The story of bairagya starts,
I mean renunciation
Leading to nihilism and existentialism
And the dramma of the absurd,
Nothingness, scepticism, agnosticism and atheism
But in a subdued tone
And that is nirguna, without characteristics
The Nirguna Brahma, the Formless Divine.

The Unknown Path of life lies it ahead to take to
And man goign an uphill jopurney,
Winding unto the last,
Craggy and stony,
With the cutting edge,
With the travel sore and fatigue,
He undertaking to reach
The Midway Inns to pass the darker nightfalls
After the eve-ends
To reach the Final Abode of God.
