Rajender Krishan's Solitude And Other Poems Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Who are you,
Who am I? ,
Asked I
And came it the answer,
Aham Brahmasmi,
Tat Tvam Asi?

The Ashokan rock edict
Read it,
What is dhamma? ,
Which but reverberated it,
Resounded it
Giving way to the sense
Of righteousness and nyaya.

Human life
A cycle of birth and death
Is a journey
Leading to here and beyond
So full of karma and dharma
Pulsating with Prana
Which is now,
Which is not.

But human mind trying to
Comprehend
Cosmic Consciousness
With the Spark of Light
Thinking in terms of
Karma, Bhoga, Prayaschita
And Nirvana and Moksha.

The duality of I and You,
You and I
Leading to theological discourses
And debates
Which seem to be unending
And he trying to grapple with
The Maya-Moha of the Samsara.

The world as you see,
The world as I see,
A world as felt,
As experienced by us
You and I, I and You
And shared with,
Gnana shared.

And as thus sparked it,
Glared and glowed it
The Light,
Illumined it,
The Lamp of Light,
Burning it,
Dispelling darkness,
Struggling with darkness
To give it Light.

What Prurusha, what Prakriti,
Purusha-Prakriti concept,
How the Lingam-Yoni myth,
In which cave burning it
The Light,
Sadhaks doing sadhna,
Lost in,
The heights of transcendental meditation.

The words Om, Om, AUM,
Hari Om, AUM
Reverberating,
A beautiful morning with
Dew-laden petals appearing,
Dispelling darkness,
The lotus of morning opening
With Om, Om, Hari Om,
Om Shantih ShantihShantih.

Sat Chita Ananda,
Satchidananda,
Kailash, Mansarovar,
The snow-capped peaks, blue waters,
Swans floating,
Where to go,
Where to search,
Brahma Vishnu Maheshwara,
Where to search Him?

Hearing Him otherwise too
As an alternative answer crosses the mind,
Where do you search Me,
Search Me? ,
I am by you,
By you
Wherever search you,
Search you,
I am near you,
Near you.
