The Plain Idea Behind Blessed Human* Poem by Tushar Ray

This Universe invited us in her festivity of love!
So, come on my friends, please join
Enjoying your part opening up heart and mind
These splendors of such grand kind
Just open up the heart and tune to fun around
Realizing your part on holistic ground
With acute expansion of core consciousness
To enjoy spectacles of love abound!

Let us fondly probe within by tuning in
Freeing all sorts of self-imposed barrier
To find true relation to our holistic universe
Using powers that we have been given
By dissolving ego into own global feeling
Expanding true-self to include whole being
Pervading the material barriers there are
Being ensured Consciousness as end reality
So, covering all things as pure consciousness
Let’s enjoy abundance of love all around
With just harmony both inside and out
Fulfilling the idea behind a blessed human*!

* Consistent with this ancient Yogic Wisdom, expressed in the poem above, the highly celebrated Nobel Laureate scientist Albert Einstein had to say the following:
“A human being is part of the whole called by us as ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty …. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”
