My Pious Lord

Annihilating sins with holy fires

Muses he amidst burning pyres

He can be quite a formidable foe

And the most gentle one can know

Has three eyes and two aspects

And commands the ultimate respect

Only into him, this universe dissolves

Divine celestial energy, he’s made of

I kneel down to Shiva, my pious lord

To plead for ‘moksha’, the final accord.

It is not possible to fathom Lord Shiva; He is far beyond anyone’s comprehension. He has two aspects- Shiva and Shakti. I am His ardent devotee and consider Him to be the ultimate, above everything else in the world. Another interesting thing is that only his pet bull ‘Nandi’ is said to have asked for the Lord himself as a boon, unlike others who wished only for worldly pleasures.

If we focus on God with an intention of merging into his energy, of achieving Him and not other riches, we can take a significant leap towards the attainment of Moksha, a stage where a soul becomes free of the eternal cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

YOU

When life takes a toll

When soul needs a stroll

I think of Your power divine

That can bless this life of mine

For You are there in every sphere

In gloom, in joy, in sadness and cheer

In every single soul, rich or poor

You manifest everywhere

Thinking of You frees my mind

All basal desires are left behind

As I move to Your sphere

I can feel you close and near

You are my lover and my friend

For such bonds stay, even after life ends

SOMETHING DIVINE........

Some times such things happen that are beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Like you are having a dilemma and somebody unknown, a complete stranger smilingly walks up and provides you with a solution. You too, shed your inhibitions and discuss the problem openly and start feeling comfortable with him/her.

Here I am talking of such divine incidences that remain etched in one's memory for long rather forever. Meeting strangers and getting a solution is not uncommon; also going by the practical way of life it would rather seem very risky but there are some times when you instantly relate yourself to a stranger, your vibes match that of his/her or vice versa. All the confusions go and you feel yes! that’s what I always wanted to say or ask.

Can we say there is a divine element involved? If YES then certainly GOD exists and also that God himself might have met us incognito and if NO, then certainly there is something beyond the limit of human mind as such incidences do not deserve to be passed as just plain coincidences.
