Life Immortal! Poem by Ramdas Bhandarkar

Life Immortal!



Nothing less, nothing more,
The flash of billion Galaxies,
The glowing stars,
Revolving planets,
Roaring rainy clouds,
The Sun, The moon, the Earth, Land and oceans,
Ice covered mountain to Sand
covered deserts,
Hot core and mantle of earth to
ice covered poles,
Made of elements, Energy manifesting in different
forms in different ways! One which lives has to change,
One who brings every thing to
life never changes
That remains mysterious,
as no signal can come from,
No signals can go from here, But that mysterious pervades all,
dwelling inside every thing and
enjoys everything without
enjoying,
Moving everything without
moving at all, Newton third law fails as action
and reactions balanced only on
this plane,
But valid on the plane where
everything is only one!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
1.
Only the dead can die, not the
living. That which is alive in you
is immortal.
In reality there is only the source,
dark in itself, making everything
shine. Unperceived, it causes perception. Unfelt, it causes
feeling. Unthinkable, it causes
thought. Non-being, it gives birth
to being. It is the immovable
background of motion. Once you
are there, you are at home everywhere.
Nisargadatta Mahraj

2.
And is this Power benevolent or
malvolent? I see it as purely
benevolent. For, I can see that in
the midst of death, life persists;
in the midst of untruth, Truth
persists; in the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that
God is Life, Truth, Light. He is
love. He is the supreme
good.......
Mahatma Gandhi...
