Who Am I? Poem by Ramesh Joshi

Who Am I?



The voice within asks me
Asks aloud ' who am I ? '
In no time the ready made
Answer I spin ' I AM BODY.

' You say ' IT IS MY BODY'
' IT IS MY BODY, POINTING
TO MORTAL FILTHY COIL,
Which part you claim self?

Eyes, ears, nose hand, foot
Are not your body organs?
Each has its name, function
Distict discharge, is it not?

You claim them yours, not
Your self, are your organs.
Mind masters their function?
Then, you mean you are mind?

No, you claim mind is yours,
Admitting mind not your self,
It is your agent, guided missile
To launch attack on sensory world.

Mind, is satellite navigater under
The light of thought controlling
All powers of mind control body
Still subtle and all powerful in thee.

Deep goes enquiry of finding answer
Still deeper in the realms of spirit,
A giant blackhole that engulfs the
Whole universe standing above things.
