Unique Poetry in PEGOMAG…called PEGO IN VERSE

28 01 2010

UNEXPECTED
What really is unexpected?
How is it different from a dream ?
Ah ! Let me stand corrected…
are they not one…or so they seem !
You may laugh and find it funny…
Fishes flying in the air..
But dont you see funnier dreams
or is there a point.. …a difference there ???

Your mind rejects unblazened trails
and you walk around familiar streets
…but same mind…it spins fairy tales
in your dreams….oh ! what feats !!!

do you see a pattern here ?
or still wish to believe…
that logic knows everything…
and dreams simply deceive !!!

…this mind of yours…no friend in deed
till the day you cease to ‘expect’
all ‘un-knowns’ have a seed for sure
somewhere else…not in intellect !!!
What you know as mind… is just a part
your mind has an unending domain
shun logic ! burst in a song…
and take no umbrella…this time in rain !

OUT OF BOX THINKING or THIN KING ?

8 01 2010

“Is it out of box thinking?

Or an out of box thin king?”

Creativity and out of box thinking are the words of the season….be it corporate….educational…or any other social environment!

It is quite fashionable to be talking of out of box thinking!

Well…well…well… It is quite alright to be thinking in a non-linear manner….but the catch here is… Are people really THINKING in the first place!

If they are not accustomed to ‘thinking’ …one cannot expect them to be thinking…out of box??? (Or any other way!!!)

Now to complete the poetry….. And, possibly to get around this controversy….

Here we go….

Is it out of box thinking…?
Or an out of box thin king?

King is thin these days as he is watching his weight
…while his subjects are all hoping….but they have to wait!

Thinking king is seldom a possibility
As people simply vote….they don’t check the ability

In these places called mature democracies
We often come across certain hypocrisies

Those who think …are out of the mainstream …anyway
Let them think …in or out …of box…while we make hay!

SPIRITUAL GURUS….ARE THEY REALLY NEEDED ?

19 07 2008

  ABOUT GURUS….contd.

An excerpt from the interview with Andrew Cohen (http://www.andrew-cohen)…. a celebrated spiritual guru….who, I genuinely  think, talks a great deal of sense….by the way !

Quote……

“Q: What about all the corruption so prevalent in spiritual authority today?

A: Well, obviously integrity in the spiritual teacher is absolutely crucial. But we’ve got to face the fact that unfortunately, the failure of so many gurus, priests, lamas, and monks over the last thirty or forty years may have become an easy excuse for us all to let ourselves off the hook. They have made it all too easy for us to become cynical, to arrogantly conclude that we know better and don’t require any help from anyone.

You see, the problem is that when we lost our faith, we also lost our humility. It’s also important to understand that the main reason that the concept of a guru is such a tough one in our culture is that we postmodern narcissists just hate hierarchy. We don’t like anyone to be higher than us! It’s often hard for even very intelligent people to admit that higher levels of development actually exist.”

 Unquote…..

There are two simple things I wish to state on this……

Gurus have been irresponsible….or wily….or manipulative…..how many ?….what percentage ?…..noone knows !….but the general phenomena is quite (sadly) revealing !

 

Other thing is….if we have to learn ….evolve….improve….in this ‘life-skill’….it should be like any other teacher-student relationship….!

…this hierarchy…..or shall I say blind-worship is un called for !

….respect is OK ! more than OK !….but hierarchy ?….sounds outrageous ! If this is arrogance? ….then what is subtle ego-play ? 

…but first let us find out a genuine guy ! (oops…guru !)





Spiritual Gurus …are real ‘gurus’ of deception !!!

17 07 2008

                           “GURUS OF DECEPTION”

We talk of empowerment of human beings….they talk of dependence and total surrender !

We talk of self esteem…self confidence and self worth…

They talk of belittling yourself in front of a GURU….even falling at his feet !

We talk of becoming a good human…

They talk of the glory of ‘self-less’ path towards salvation !

We talk of creativity and out of box thinking….

They talk of repeating a ‘mantra’….a thousand times in a day !

We talk of positive ego….and contribution to the mankind….

They talk of ‘ego-less ness’….and becoming a  salvation-seeking parasite !!!

We know that we have shortcomings…and we would like to improve !

They pose as if they are flawless….but everyday ‘scandals’….and a subtle ego-display….definitely points towards their deception !

Please comment…..





Courting Rebel ?

15 07 2008

A few  Re bell thoughts from a rebel :

on courts and law…..

If we can have an anticipatory bail…..can we have an anticipatory stay order ?

If we can be held in contempt of court….can we hold the court (judges) in contempt of law ?

Can we have a stay order against the judgement of the court ?

Can we put the ball in their court ? (‘They’ here would imply the governance )

If Law is blind…..and courts go on evidence….then who really is looking !!!
