Seek Within Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

Seek Within



IT tried to awaken, I kept sleeping
Jolted out of slumber, I kept brooding.

IT spoke, I became deaf
IT tried to reason, I admired self

IT asked me to pray, I became dumb
IT goaded me to act, I felt numb.

IT showed me a path, I created deviation
IT pointed my faults, I made my decision.

IT even caught my finger, pointing destination
Got totally lost in the labyrinth of emotions.

IT made me aware of omnipresent vice
Yet I managed to acquire, at a heavy price.

IT monITored my actions, issuing warnings
I simply ignored for worldly yearning.

Awakened! Now what is the use
Couldn't see the truth in time, behind every ruse.

Life is like that, what matters more
Seek IT honestly, IT opens the door.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Someone(call it soul, call it supreme power or call it inner consciousness) always keeps us warned and guide us throughout ourlives....but do we listen and follow.. that is the million dollar question.

I was at Shirdi having darshan of Sai Baba when the feeling dawned on me that I am failing to listen to myself. I dedicate this to Sai Baba of Shirdi.
