‎go Beyond The Body, Stella ‎ Poem by Prabir Gayen

‎Go Beyond the Body, Stella
‎
‎Prabir Kumar Gayen
‎
‎Go beyond the body, Stella,
‎the light of the eternal nature.
‎Life is so precious, so eternal;
‎here in this world, life is a dream.
‎
‎Here on this planet, people look above,
‎standing in space, gazing into space.
‎They dream of heaven,
‎yet remain ignorant and violent.
‎
‎For five thousand years,
‎humanity has fought
‎over fifteen thousand wars.
‎
‎People move like shadows without mercy.
‎Go beyond the body, Stella,
‎and see the Divine everywhere.
‎
‎This world is too wounded to be healed by violence.
‎People are hungry for life,
‎yet kill, hoping for heaven.
‎
‎Through darkness, they seek
‎to abolish darkness.
‎This is the age of darkness,
‎the age of killing the innocent;
‎and its agents stand ready
‎to leap into a sea of blood.
‎
‎The ancient mother of brutal power
‎rises again to devour humanity.
‎Human beings walk in somnambulism,
‎as if standing in heaven,
‎yet preparing to kill to reach heaven.
‎
‎Humanity is not yet mature.
‎People are divided by community,
‎pierced by the sharp arrow of ignorance.
‎
‎Even a dog understands
‎the simple truth of living,
‎a dog is more religious than a human being.
‎Those who carry the highest knowledge
‎often live as cowards.
‎
‎Knowledge has grown dull beside the sword,
‎and the sword still smokes
‎with the memory of blood.
‎
‎Religion is no longer the path to self-knowledge;
‎it has become a path to destruction,
‎a sanctified ground for cruelty.
‎
‎Religion stands,
‎a house of death.
‎The Upanishads fall silent in deaf ears;
‎their wisdom dissolves into empty words.
‎They speak of self-effacement,
‎the wave returning to the ocean,
‎yet the ocean is forgotten.
‎
‎The Gita waits, but Arjun is absent.
‎Only the heirs of Duryodhan
‎seem to reign.
‎
‎Higher knowledge lies
‎in a deep and troubled sleep.
‎The invisible world stands still;
‎its presence remains unseen.
‎
‎It does nothing
‎to save humanity
‎from its own brutal philosophies.
‎
‎Savage minds gather in crowds,
‎ready to destroy the innocent.
‎Even the saintly drift in delirium,
‎lost between sainthood
‎and sin.
‎Let us go beyond false religion.
‎Let us be immersed in higher knowledge,
‎and prepare to raise another Kurukshetra
‎to restore Dharma.
‎
‎For within each of us lives Krishna,
‎Arjun,
‎and Duryodhan.
‎Now the struggle grows more violent,
‎more immense,
‎for evil has clothed itself in religion.
‎
‎It has taken a sacred form,
‎and thus become more dangerous:
‎a creed that kills
‎to claim heaven and carnal eternity.
‎
‎The philosophy of darkness,
‎the creed of murder for desire,
‎must be overcome
‎by the light of love and knowledge.
‎
‎For this struggle is eternal,
‎it does not end.
‎The world stands divided in two:
‎one speaks of love, knowledge, and service,
‎one calls for the making of heaven on earth;
‎the other waits for its chance
‎to kill the innocent
‎for a promised paradise of pleasure.
‎
‎A heaven of desire,
‎is it truly heaven?
‎Or is it another name for hell?
‎People do not fight for heaven,
‎but for a deeper hell,
‎for they are bound
‎to ignorance and craving.
‎
‎Let us become one in love.
‎Let us awaken through love.
‎Beyond the body and the mind,
‎only spiritual knowledge is true.
‎Only love is true.
‎
‎Only love without motive is true.
‎Let us remain faithful to one another.
‎Let us create
‎a world of the soul.
‎Let us go beyond doubt.
