Rating: 3.5


[ a conversation with god]


In JUST a word tell me..i asked
what do i do?
god just said 'LIVE'

In JUST a word tell me..i asked
what do i do to attain you?
god went on to say the same 'LIVE'

what is this? ..me
am i not living?
may be not he said

you are either scheming...living the future
or brooding...living the past
you are an assimilation of the dead and gone
iam ever a new born
you are never with me at the moment

YOU ONLY THINK YOU ARE LIVING

have you ever seen the wind..he went on
can i? ...(me)
why don't you try? ...(him)
how do i? ...(me)
god went on to say the same again...
'LIVE'

WILL I EVER 'LIVE' TO SEE THE WIND....i thought

We can't see the wind but only feel it. Subtler elements can only be expereienced and God is very very sublte. Such experiences can't be properly expressed in so many words either. Subtle means it can contain the gross. Words fail for a proper expression. 'Yadho vaacho nivarthanthe, aprapya manasa saha...' 'Live in the present ' is what all philosophers finally say but human mind hovers around the Past and Future. It is not the problem of God but only that of man.

God gave us the freedom to live, but we are misusing the same. He gave us wind, water, fire, space and earth to live, what more is required for a peaceful living?
