The Universe And Me Poem by Chandramohan Bhandari

With me, at the centre
The universe is all around
I am a part of the whole
The whole is captured in my mind
In fact, the universe is within me
Confined in my neuronal circuitry
Each conscious being
Enfolds a universe
Whenever we look around
Enfolded reality unfolds
Without a conscious onlooker
Reality may lose its ground.
Who would know and tell
What happened to
The grand display around?  

‘Ergo cogito, ergo sum
I think, therefore I am'
Four hundred years ago
Rene Descartes
Coined the elegant phrase
Which led to an intense debate
That continues to this day.
