Life And Non-Life Aggregates Poem by Bhaswat Chakraborty

Life And Non-Life Aggregates

Rating: 5.0


Life gathers aggregates
Like the iron grows rust around it.
The rust is not iron although
it derives itself conditionally from iron

Life gathers aggregates
Like I, mine, myself
Like feeling, ideas and isms
Like senses, dreams and analyses

True emptiness is iron, solid liberation
But the loneliness could be an aggregate
Just watch it deeply, closely and without attachment and aversion
The very awareness that it is an aggregate
Brings one at the centre of life


And the centre of life is all life
Free of aggregates.
