Truth and Knowledge: Questions on Forms and Formlessness


What is seen which is not in me? What is heard if the meaning of it does not reside inside me? Where does the taste lie? In the object outside me or my senses are also made of that taste? What is touched? My own ego or an extension of it? 

If I exist then the world exist for me. Otherwise there is void. What if I don't exist? And what if I do exist? Is there any Universe outside me? Formal reality is true or illusionary? These questions are perennial and everlasting. Many answers are offered, many speculations are projected, but who answers the questions? Where are the answers projected? There must be someone who is curious to know? It means ego exists. Does ego dwell in a form? Is there a single form? Form is real or it is nothing? Whether my senses are true to the reality? Or behind it some essence is hidden? Is there a dichotomy of Creator and created? Or creation is random, chaotic, unorganized, unfathomable, everlasting? Is there anything called science? Or it is merely a sign, a site to justify beliefs? Is there any answer if basic questions are not clear? 

I find many answers, but not a single question. I find many sources of the information, but no sincerity to ask the questions, to remain with it, unless reality reveals in its complete dimensions. Fragmentary meditations are fake, illusionary, a process to hide the questions. No knowledge deserves the respect, if the discovery of truth is not attached to it. 

Anything before me is unreal, then which future will deliver me the eternal truth? Past and future are memories, simply thoughts, which don't exist at the moment. Only reality is present. Everything is here and now. There are multiple forms, including 'I', are formed but also remain formless. Life exists in me, but also remains possible after me. My thoughts are simply the bundles of information. Behind the thoughts and intellect, everything reveals, which is not required to be interpreted or presupposed. Knowing too much is not a possible goal to achieve. It's unreal. Discovery starts with I and remains with I. Discoverer has a choice; to identify with form or formless. Formal identity is samsara and behind it, the consciousnesses is eternal, always already present, beyond the question. It is not a matter of belief to search out I. Without I, no question begins and no answer is offered. I exist for sure. And something exists cannot be conditioned at time and space. Time and space are the basic framework to experience the changing world. But precisely it is time which changes. It doesn't change anything. If I perceive me in the framework of time and space; I appear to be finite. Beyond it, I have always been infinite. Knowledge around me is formal, but the truth is changeless and eternal.

पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का

पढ़ता हूँ हर एक दिन एक ही पन्ना, हर दिन हज़ार ये मालूम पड़ते हैं। जबसे होश संभाला है एक ही पन्ना सवांरते आया हूँ, लोग इसे ज़िन्दगी कहते हैं। इसपे लिखे हर एक लब्ज़ जो मेरे मालूम पड़ते हैं, ना जाने कितने जुबां पे चढ़े होंगे। आज हम भी कुछ पल के लिए ही सही इसके सारथी हैं, जाने से पहले कुछ रंग मेरा भी इसपे चढ़ जाए, बस इसीलिए एक ही पन्ना बार बार पलटता रहता हूँ। हर कोई अनजाने किताब की तलाश में बाहर निकलता है, जिसका हर एक पन्ना वो ख़ुद है। जब ख़ुद के रंग को समझ ही ना पाया, तो भला इंद्रधनुषी किताब के क्या मायने हैं? अस्तित्व में ना जाने कितने पन्ने बिखरे पड़े हैं, बस एक से ही अवगत हो जाऊँ, उसके हर एक शब्द को चुनता जाऊँ, कुछ पल के लिये सही, पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का।

Time and Love

Time passes by Like moving in a train of thoughts Its sequence is always forward Vibrating like a cosmic dance of Shiva Time is creating and engulfing The little waves of the ocean Going where? Nobody knows Like a dream does not have a destination It is as true as any absurd play With friends of pleasure It moves like speed of light With friends of need It is felt like a moving river Allowing a little moments of thoughts Before everything becomes a history With friends of virtue Time becomes a sublime touch Soothing and healing the pain Becoming a spectator To watch the cries and follies Beauty and ugliness The rainbow of joy And an album of suffering Time touches Yet it remains aloof Like Purush is witnessing The colours of prakriti Yet remains unblemished And untouched The union of two is always mystical Their touch is a source Of creation and transformation Time is witnessing everything In its sequential movements Who is witnessing time? What is independent of the originatio...

Dreamer

Empty is mirror, Yet it reflects what is. Chit is absolute abyss, Yet it contains the existence, Like unending horizons of sky. Chit in bond with manas, Creates and witnesses, The playful dance of life. Shunyata is the absolute truth, Yet it is all of the possible worlds. Out of its voidness, World appears and disappears. Is it real or unreal? Or merely the Dream, Of all the possible dreams? If it is the case, Who is dreaming, the dreams of all? The One, the Cosmos. What if the One is also a figment of imagination? What if the world is a poetic creation? And the Poet has deployed itself, In every form of poetry? The poetry of life. What if only bhokta is bhojan? Only observer is observed? Only worshiper is worshipped? Only subject is object? All are the waves of same Ocean.
