Brooding At Ramzan Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

Brooding At Ramzan

Rating: 5.0


WHAT is a Hindu, a Moslem or a Christian?
Whence he comes and where he goes?

Ocean is a solution, salty, but-
Crores of Suns gleam on the crust of waves-
One, only One at the helm in the blue.

Pools and streams and lakes and bays
Wells and springs and rain and ice
We see nothing but a drop, in them drops
Nay, vapor condensed: Nay, H2O-right?
Think a little straight, sit up aright
Am I not right? -break, break that H2O
Baffling bright white-light you can see.
Of heat and Energy, Oh! 'Sivam'!
You may call it 'Noor' in Arabic
'Siv' in Sanskrit-what then-
Releases combustion in cells?
Nothing but very heat and Energy.
Uranium and Thorium release the same.
We find Energy unborn eternal
Omnipresent, Omnipotent
Omniscient, and Formless.
The Almighty is Brahma,
Paramatma and Allah.
Jehovah may be for some,
For some Agni, may be that-
Radiant and resplendent Yogic Light.
Cant you see Ocean in rain drop
Cosmic power in a cell or shell?
Cell or Shell-what is in a name?
Is chariot, coat or prison of the soul.
When walls get weak the soul will part
Out through the vent as air off the balloon.
Reading Holy Scriptures, not knowing the sense-
What use? -observe the Nature and think
Knowledge is a chain of fact as pearls
Stringed by Reason and Faith with a Coir of the Truth.
Tension brews as experiences tightly
Loaded on the string, still stronger by Faith.
Knowledge is light to enlighten the folk
Not to kill, but for co-existence in Peace.

YES! It is healing for the soul to discover divine energy at play in the natural world. There are wonderful properties in water, and there is divine energy at work in cells and shells-as you say. Why do people say that matter is brute and inane? (What is their ulterior motive?) Some scientists say that matter combines blindly and randomly to make life, but a great scientist like Einstein would not say such things. If intelligent living things can be incubated out of matter, then there must be something marvelous about matter! In truth it is a holy vessel to make life. It is the window of living things to experience light. To say that matter combines blindly to make living things is an insult both to matter and to living things. Some people say that matter drags people down, but in truth it is lowness of spirit that demeans the holy vessel of matter! Materialism is a disease of spirit, not the fault of matter and nature.

This is an excellent energy coming out of the heart. The line ' Reading holy scriptures not knowing the sense'. yes all concerned should have an introspection. what we are seeking, is it really available where we are seeking? . the applicability with science a little bit confusing. thanks sir.
