 A LOOK AT LIFE-81

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY


       A JOURNEY INSIDE


For a few

Life is not a race

Not running in a haste

For an image 

Life is a journey 

Sitting with an erect spine

Closing  ears and eyes

Organs of senses

Calming the body, mind 

One moves along the spine

Raising his  consciousness 

From mundane to the sacred 

From poison to the elixir 

Feeling the subtle vibrations 

Deep inside


For a few

Life is listening to the beats

Emanating from the heart 

Feeling the rush of blood

in the arteries and veins 

Sensing  Prana Vayu 

in cells and membranes 

Listening to the music of life

The divine OM coming out

Rhyming with the vibrations inside 


For a few

Life is listening to the breath

The air coming in and going out

Watching the process as an outsider

Without being involved.


For a few

Life is meditating on the Chakras

In the spine to unlock the lock 

between the brows 

On the pineal gland

The Agyan Chakra

Expanding the consciousness 

To become the whole of the universe 

And contracting oneself

The cosmic universe into a dot.


Life is an endeavour 

To know the source 

A journey to know 

The mystery

To realise

There is no other source 

No other mystery

One oneself is the mystery

And the source of all sources as well.

REVIEW OF MY POEM A LOOK AT LIFE-9

Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, an eminent poet and literary critic for writing a beautiful critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-9'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful review Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-9" is a poem of spiritually attuned nature bringing forth to us a transcendentalist transformative ideology of life, we human beings do have to pursue in our day to day life. The lives we lead in this world are not meant to simply while away rather we need to ponder over their meanings in a substantial and enormous manner. Sometimes, we must be self-introspective and self-retrospective in terms of our lives, we also need to turn to the path of spirituality to understand the mysteries connected with this world. We must not have the notion that this life on this earth is the end of it rather we have to consider it as a platform to reach the perfect abode that is charted out for us there in heaven. This l...

A Critical Appreciation of My Poem A Look At life-43

Here is the review and critical appreciation of my poem A LOOK AT LIFE-43 by non-other than eminent poet and literary critic of international repute  Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil. Thanks and gratitude sir. I am greatly honoured Dear Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-43" is a poem that combines philosophy, theology, science and psychology in equal measure. Life is an interminable circle passing from one state of being to another state of being, it doesn't have an end unless and until it is reunited with the fundamental point of origin. The world came forth from that inexhaustible arena and it would revert back to it as such in the course of time. Here on this earth life is an unending journey, the destination is not clearly marked at in any stretch of the imagination, the things that we come across in this world are transitory and fleeting in nature and nothing is a permanent feature of life. The structures and wonders of the world are subjected to change onc...

A LOOK AT LIFE-146

 A LOOK AT LiFE-46 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY In that The stone-carved image of yours My whole world. In your temple my holy abode, At your lotus feet my whole life My identity, my possession. My past present and future Is you my maa Comes to mind that day When I was on my way, You dragged me near Looked at me with loving eyes. The infinite became finite And the mother listened to her child, The child went on asking and The mother looking at him with a smile Days went by A feeling deep and intense came I am not alone How can I be? When you are with me. Wherever I go whatever I do I always feel you by my side What to think about me, my life My happiness which are all yours When I look at you I feel you deep inside, My feelings turn into adoration Adoration into love. The more I love you The more I feel alienated From me and my mundane world Lose my identity and Become one with you copyright@smrutiranjan 19.10.2017
