The Best Poem Of Dr. Ashok Malhotra

What Is Love?

FOR THE HEART: IT MAY BE "A TWINGE OF A TWANG"
"A CLING OR A CLANG"
A STAB OR A THROB"
FOR THE SELF: IT MAY BE "A PSYCHOLOGICAL MOOD
OR A SPIRITUAL FOOD"
"A SUDDEN FEVER THAT TAKES OVER
OR AN SOS SIGNAL THAT THE EGO MIGHT DISAPPEAR"
FOR THE EXISTENCE: IT MAY BE " A WOUND IN BEING'S HEART
FROM WHICH YOU NEVER RECOVER
OR THE NATURE'S MYSTERIOUS WAY
FOR TWO BEINGS TO BEGIN TO DISCOVER"
FOR THE LOVERS: IT MAY BE
"WHERE THE MYSTERY OF THEIR BEING IS HIDDEN
OR THE SAVORING OF AN ECSTATIC EXPERIENCE
WHICH IS NO MORE FORBIDDEN"
FOR THE LIFE: IT MAY BE
"A UNISON OF TWO SOULS WHO WILL BE EQUAL PARTNERS
IN LIFE'S SORROWS, JOYS AND FIGHTS
OR A REMINDER NOT TO GET ATTACHED TO ANYTHING MATERIAL
WHILE TAKING IN EVERYONE OF WORLD'S DELIGHTS"

WHAT IS LIFE? A GIFT DIVINE SENT
OR A COSMIC ACCIDENT

THE VERNAL SPRING OF THE VITAL FORCE'S HISTORY
OR THE DEAD END OF A DARK MYSTERY

A CLEARING IN THE FOREST
OR THE SPIRIT'S ATTEMPT AT OBJECTIFYING ITSELF IN EARNEST

AN UNCONSCIOUS HISTORICAL SAGA OF THE BIG BANG
OR THE MENTAL RAVINGS OF A COSMIC MAD MAN

THE UNIVERSE COMING TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITSELF
OR THE EXPERIENCE OF ITS OWN NOTHINGNESS IN A NUTSHELL

THE COSMOS OFFERING ITS MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY
OR REVEALING ITS UTTER IMPERFECTION THROUGH THIS UNIQUE ODDITY

A COSMIC EVOLUTIONARY BEND
OR WHERE ALL MEANINGS BEGIN AND END

THE SOURCE OF ALL STORIES AND HISTORIES
OR BY ESCAPING ALL DEFINITIONS REMAINING EVER A MYSTERY

HAVING BIRTH AND DEATH AS ITS TERMINAL POINTS
OR BEING THE BRIDGE AND GLUE OF THEIR JOINTS

A CONTINUOUS FLOW INCAPABLE OF BEING CAPTURED OR DEFINED
OR A PERFECTION IN MOTION THAT CAN'T BE REFINED
