It's Not Easy But….. Poem by Savita Tyagi

It's Not Easy But…..

Rating: 5.0


When mind is uneasy and arduous are life's undertakings
Repose your mind at Lord's feet
Lodge yourself at the great door
The door that opens for all.
If the direction of life is shrouded in ambiguity
Trust your heart's calling to open a venue
Your own calm self, the tranquil Nature or the inspiration cast upon
All are His guide to walk you through rough trails.
Dwell not in your worries and anxieties
Make your pain and pleasure an offering
Know them as twins born out of Mother Nature's womb
As a serene indweller supreme self transcends it all
The luminous all pervading energy
The eternal free spirit high above this mortal existence.
Enjoy your experiences
With out the great burden of doer ship
If you are able to do it peace shall follow.
If wandering and unsteady mind takes your determination away
Like the wind takes trembling leaves
Make yourself resolute in will with patience
Failing again and again yet doing what needs to be done
Perfection comes with practice and dedication
Put your thoughts to work and enjoy the process.
Like all pervading ether holds clouds and lightening
Embrace your triumphs and failures
Peace shall follow if one can keep the likings and disliking at bay
And repose in joys of working.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Note- these expressions are based upon shlokas from Bhagvad Geeta. In trying to understand and comprehend what Geeta was saying through its ancient language I needed to write the thoughts that were pressing upon and influencing me with their intensity. The equanimity of mind that Bhagvad Geeta talks about is not easy to follow, however I do believe a step in right direction is still a good step. Even a little bit of understanding helps to develop positive attitude towards healthy living. As the great scripture says-' on this path no effort is lost nor is there any harm; even a little of this ‘dharma' delivers from great fear.'
