Meditation Poem by Anshul Gupta

Meditation, meditation
What is meditation?
Who discovered it;
of whom is it a creation?

Meditation is Me
and I am the meditation
No one created it;
it is the creation.

The real I meet the false I, and say, ‘hello how are you? ’
It’s been a long time
since I last saw you!

Breather to the mind
Bath for the soul
It takes me nearer to my life’s goal.

Useless thoughts keep on recurring
I put them quickly in the recycle bin
Sitting straight and concentrating
I feel the silk in my breathing.

An hour of life
or an hour of death
What is it,
is a matter of guess.

Joy to me was unknown
until I spent some time alone.

Meditation, meditation
What is meditation?
Meditation is Joy
and Joy is Meditation.
