SOMETHING I LOOK AT-174
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

The long quest is over...
a new journey about to begin.
a journey...fathomless and infinite...
it is beyond love, hatred, betrayal,
good and bad...
feelings of sorrow and happiness,
anger and prejudice are immaterial here.
it is a journey--- transcendental.

I do realise
I am here with a purpose
Let me move from the gross to the subtle
from limit to the limitless,
from appetite to a state
where hunger and greed silently die.
It is a slow walk deep within
from darkness to light,
dream to reality,
mundane to the ocean of bliss and beyond
to the land of wisdom
where lives my father with all His splendour

The destination
I know
To go beyond illusion,
duality and pair of opposites,
worship, yoga and religion
to realise the essential oneness
I am he and he is me

The destination is fixed,
roots and vehicles are many,
but neither of these will take me
where I want to be.
To become me
It is none but me who will travel all the way
from the base to the seat of knowledge,
from I to We to I
from turmoil to tranquillity and beyond
to the kingdom of peace and bliss.
