 A LOOK AT LIFE-93

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY


    THY WILL IS MY WILL


I believe in God 

Neither I am afraid of life

Nor I am afraid of death 

In both, I see the will of my Lord 


Neither I see the sun

Nor the shower 

It is He who is born 

It is He who dies

It is He who lives

Enjoys and endures 


He is Krishna

He is Arjun, Aswathama 

Sakuni and  Duryodhan 

He lives in a thousand bodies

He is everywhere 

In whatever I see and perceive

And what lies beyond

My vision and perception 

It is His game

He knows how to play it

Why should I worry?


Happiness  is His

So also the sorrow 

Why so much of fear?

So much of anxiety?

So much of possessiveness?

When I am not the doer 

The doer is someone else 

The drama is His

He knows how to enact it 

Why should I bother,?


When I come close to my  real nature

I feel 

I am He and He is me

The big void, the cosmic consciousness 

Neither there is life nor death

Only consciousness unfolding 

A parade, from eternity to eternity 

And I myself 

The actor, spectator and director

Beyond me, nothing exists

Absolutely nothing

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
