The whole world is in panic
The whole world is in fear!
They don’t know what the truth is
But they are zapped with what they hear
A virus has attacked us!
It is going to wipe out the world!
It is going to **** us all…
Through the media, we are told
Is it a danger, is it real?
Or is this just a myth?
As long as we live in fear
We will never realize the truth
Of course, it has killed thousands
And it’s mainly the old
The young will mostly get away
With a fever, cough and cold
The Coronavirus is a champion
It seems to have a tactic
Though many it appears to infect
But for some, it is asymptomatic
Therefore, we don’t know the numbers
Who are actually killed by the virus
There are many with heart and lung disease
Are they dying because of this?
The whole world is in panic
They think of COVID they will die
They have locked themselves in their houses
Unable to enjoy the sky
Of course, we must take precautions
And stay away from one with a cough
But to shut down the entire world
That is way off!
Fear is the cause of this panic
It is making a mountain of a molehill
Far more than the Coronavirus
It is Fear that will ****
Fear is False Expectations Appearing Real
The mind creates this thought
But once paralyzed by this panic
In anxiety we are caught
Why are we scared, why do we fear?
Why are humans given this gift?
God gave us this instinct for a reason
From real dangers, so we can drift
There are many types of fears
Some even fear a loud sound
Some fear to go up in the sky
Some a lizard on the ground!
Fear often grows into a phobia
An irrational fear of something
Dentophobia is a fear of the dentist
And claustrophobia, a crowd of anything
Some have zoophobia – fear of animals
Some arachnophobia – fear of spiders
With aerophobia, there is fear of flying
And cyberphobia – fear of computers
Finally, the question that matters most
Is fear actually real?
Fear is not a danger, fear doesn’t ****
It’s just an Expectation that Appears Real
But when fear attacks us
And fills our body and mind
The rascal makes us suffer
And makes our life a grind
Fear is not a danger
There is a difference in these two
A danger can attack us
But fear just makes us feel blue
The consequence of fear is tremendous
It can bring our life to a halt
It can stop our intellect from thinking
By just finding fault
What is the cause of fear?
This killer is caused by our mind
It makes us see what is not
In anxiety, makes us blind
But there is a way to overcome it
With courage and with hope
We must wipe out every thought of worry
Then with stress and panic we will cope
But the first step is to wipe out
Ignorance from the mind
To differentiate the mind from the intellect
Both are of a different kind
The intellect can discriminate
It can realize the truth
We must ask questions and investigate
Till we get to the bottom of the root
It is important to flip our life over
From NEP flip to PEP
From negative emotions to positive emotions
From poison to power, step by step
After all, life is a drama
On the earth stage, it’s just a show
We are all actors in this theatre
We come, but we must go
Nobody can escape death
Life is in somebody else’s hand
There is a power we can’t comprehend
That created the sky and land
Because we fear we will die
We live with such panic
We get scared of a virus
That’s truly tragic!
Fear can lock us in prison
Fear can shut life’s door
Fear can frighten us to no end
Drilling into our core
The biggest Fear is that of death
Loss of all that is known
And then a greater Fear still
What is beyond death, unknown
But Fear will make us suffer
Fear will make us sad
We must learn to overcome it
If again we want to be glad
There is a way to overcome
The ignorance caused by Fear
It happens with Realization of the Truth
Not going by what we hear
We must ask and investigate
How real is our Fear
Is it actually a danger
That’s coming very near?
Fear is an illusion
But is powerful and can ****
It can paralyze our entire life
And stop us from doing our will
Today, fear more than ever before
Has made the world come to a stop
In panic, stress, and anxiety
Forced people to shut their shop
Of course, the virus will **** a few
But all of us eventually must die
If not because of this virus
Something else will send us to the sky
So why be in panic of the virus?
We must realize the cause is Fear
False Expectations Appearing Real
Is truly causing us dear
The economic crisis that is being caused
Is far greater than the virus
But Fear is making us blind to the truth
And going in the wrong direction, in stress
Fear is making us blind
We can’t see the truth that is plain,
It’s projecting illusions that are fake
And will cause the world to be slain
Its time to realize what Fear is doing
And **** it before it kills us
The virus will come, and the virus will go
But Fear must not destroy us
If we remain ignorant of our ignorance
And live with Fear and stress
Every such virus that comes in life
Will make our life a mess

Ask why before you die
Seek answers don’t just cry
Don’t just accept what people say
Resolve to find out the Truth today
Who are you and why are you here?
Why this birth? Who got you here?
Are you just meant to live and die?
Is there a purpose? Find out why
What is death, what is the end?
The body dies, it is just a bend
I never die, I will live on
But where will I go, will I be reborn?
Where is God and who is He?
Is it he or is it she?
I want to find where is heaven and hell
I am seeking answers, who will tell!
Am I the body, mind or Soul?
What is it that makes me whole?
Am I the ego, who says I?
I want to find out who am I
What is this thing called life?
So much joy and so much strife
Is it real or just a show?
Where we come and then we go?
Who created this earth, who created the sky?
Was it just a bang, oh my!
How could all this just come about?
There must be a Creator, there is no doubt!
Is there a law that keeps a track?
Whatever we do, it will come back
Or will we escape from all our sins?
And have no rewards for all our wins
What causes us to be happy and to be sad?
Is it true that desires are bad?
Can we be happy with joy and peace?
Removing cravings, the big disease
Is our mind our friend or foe?
Will it help us cross the shore?
Is it a monkey that makes us blink?
And does it make us in ignorance sink?
What exactly is the Soul?
Where is it, what is its role?
It is the energy that gives us breath
Without it, there would be death
Why should we ask so many questions?
Is it necessary to take all these lessons?
Or should we just laugh and have fun?
And spend our days till life is done
If we don’t find the real Truth
If we don’t get to the bottom of the root
If we don’t answer before we die
Then we will suffer and we will cry
Yes there are questions that we all must ask
Before we die this is one task
Though we know still we must find
That’s our life-purpose, the Truth to unwind.

We all want to be Happy
We pray to God for bliss
But where does God truly live
This point we sadly miss
God is not on a distant planet
In heaven above the skies
The power within that makes our heartbeat
Is where God truly lies
When there is a problem that we cannot solve
We go to God and cry
Make me Happy, my dear Lord!
We beg as we question why
We know that God can do anything
He made Heaven and earth
He is the giver of Happiness
The one who gave us birth
But still, we look for Happiness
Desiring this and wanting that
Sometimes our wishes are fulfilled
Otherwise, we become sad
And so do we live until we die
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
We miss to discover a simple secret
God is the source of Joy
Instead of seeking God within
We are searching for Happiness!
Of course, we become happy at times
But the source of Joy we miss
If only we change our search for God
And look for Him within
We will have everlasting Joy and Peace
And a Blissful life will begin
But we don't know who God truly is
In fear, we bow our head
Instead of loving the Lord within
We suffer until we are dead
We don't discover this Truth
That GOD = Happiness
We are looking for joy in so many places
But within ourselves we miss
We are not body, we are not mind
This Truth we must realize
We are in fact God energy
To this Truth we must rise
Once we are conscious that God lives within
We will suffer no more
The giver of Happiness is part of us
This Truth will make us glow
Instead of seeking Happiness
It's God we must search and find
And once we realize the Truth, behold
There will be joy and peace in our mind
But we don't know who God truly is
We all believe in the myth
We don't discover that God lives within
We fail to reach the zenith
'God = Happiness' is a secret
We must discern and know
Then we will discover true bliss and joy
As our bond with God will grow
If you want to be truly Happy
Then don't seek joy and bliss
Realize and find God within
For that's where is Happiness

One day when life was full of peace
My mentor told me something to tease
Who are you? Why are you here?
What’s your purpose in life, my dear?
Are you going to float till you die?
Or are you going to find out why?
Are you the body? Are you the mind?
Go on a quest the truth to find.
Questions made me start my search
I went to a temple, mosque and church
Who was God and where was he?
Where could heaven and hell be?
How was I born? What caused this I?
What will happen after I die?
I started my quest to find the truth
I would not stop till I get to the root
Every religion said the truth is mine
Each scripture boasted that its version was fine
Don’t ****** don’t steal, don’t have wine
Rituals were plenty to live and dine
But nobody talking of the truth
Nobody had found out the real brute
The enemy was none else than our mind
Where it is you cannot find
Although you know, you do not know
Whatever you see, you cannot see
The truth is staring at your face
But you are busy in the world’s race
Who am I, you do not know
The ego seems to steal the show
We are slaves of desire and lust
What is the myth, we do not bust
We live, we die, don’t find out why
And we just cry when we see someone die
Who made this earth? Who made this sky?
Who made you and them and I?
We believe in the lie
We don’t ask why
Whatever we are told
We just buy
We fret and fume through life and sigh
The truth passes us by, we let it fly
We come and go but we don’t know
The world is nothing but a cosmic show
With empty hands, we all come
And nothing is ours when all is done
But still, we live and die and cry
We don’t ask questions, who and why
Ignorance fills our life’s sky
And instead of laughing we just cry
Those who realize the whole truth
Those who get to the bottom root
Those who put everything to test
Those who go on a search and quest
Those who question who and why
Those who know they will never die
They are the ones who live in bliss,
Joy and peace, they do not miss
What is the purpose of life on earth?
Why do we die and why this birth?
Who made this earth, who made this sky?
Who causes things to walk and fly?
If you don’t find out who am I
And you just cry until you die
Then you’ll just run, you won’t have fun
And in a flash life will be done.

The Law of Karma is very deep
As you sow, so shall you reap
The bad you do will make you weep
The good that you do, you get to keep
It's a Law of Action, a Law of Reaction
It's a Law that says you get what you give
A Law that ensures what goes around comes around
A law that's for everybody on this ground
The Law of Karma is born from your Dharma
It's a Law, a Universal Law
A Law that watches all your actions
And a Law that ensures the same reaction
If you plant tomatoes, you won't get mangoes
If you plant cactus, you won't get a rose
So also if you do good, your reward will be good
And if you do bad – what returns is just as bad
What is this Law of Cause and Effect?
A Law that ensures the balance is perfect
A Law that records everything you do
Good or bad, it must come back to you
But how does this law work, we don't know
It belongs to the One who created this show
It controls how on Earth we come and go
Does it end at death? The answer is NO!
Our Body may die, but our Karma stands by
We CAN escape our Karma – that is a lie!
Our Mind will be reborn to live and to die
We will continue to suffer and cry
Death is not the end; it's just a bend
Whatever we have done has to be undone
If our actions are rewarded as we live – that's great
Otherwise, the residue will decide our next fate
Is our body responsible for how we act?
No, it's our mind that's in charge, in fact
Thus, the Law of Action is that of the Mind
It's a new body that the mind does find
It carries the good and the bad that we do
The score doesn't settle at death when we go
Life after life, the score goes on
The score decides how we are reborn
So should we suffer again and again?
When will we finally escape this pain?
We can if only we Realize the Truth
We must get to the bottom; we must get to the root
What is our purpose of life on Earth?
Are we just born to die and take birth?
Where did we come from? Where do we go?
The Law will go on till the Truth we know
Are we the Body? Are we the Mind?
Are we the Ego? The Truth we must find
The ignorance that's around us, we must rewind
We are Energy of a different kind
The Law of Karma makes this world go round
It's a Law that makes sure all's well on the ground
The Law is for all who come and go
Except for those who understand the show
Those who realize we are not the body or the mind
Those who are able – the Truth to find
They are the fortunate few who escape from action
For them, there is no Karma, no Law of Reaction
When bad things happen to the good, don't blink
It's the Law of Karma in action, just think
If you plant a seed, you will face the deed
For what you do will come back to you
If you want to master the Law of Karma
You must realize that the world is a Drama
You must know you are not the body and the mind
Then True Joy, Bliss and Peace you will find

I searched for God in temples
But nowhere was He found
I looked into the skies and waters
And everywhere on the ground
To me, God was a statue
I prayed to Him for years
I was in love with my Lord
And I used to pray with tears
I thought God lived in the temple
It was Heaven in every way
I used to talk to my Saviour,
Morning, night, all day
God gave me everything I wanted
There was nothing more to need
I used to be ashamed of myself
When I looked upon my greed
I had everything I wanted
But one thing I never found
I was looking for the God I prayed to.
Wanting to hear His sound
One day it dawned upon me
What is life’s real test?
To find true purpose and meaning,
I set out on a quest
I started studying the scriptures
In religion for Him I found
I went for many pilgrimages
Just going round and round
Who is God? Where is God? What is God?
This quest did I start
I had nothing else to desire
There was only one thing in my heart
I decided that I will not stop
My passion, I must find
I was willing to give up everything
There was only one thing in my mind
What use was the wealth that I earned?
What use was this pomp and show?
I knew my life wasn’t forever
I knew one day, I will go
I knew I was living in ignorance
The truth I couldn’t see
I was seeking happiness
But in peace, I could not be!
The world talks so much about God
But little do we know
God is such an amazing power
This cosmos is His show
The Sun, the Moon, the Stars
The Birds, the Animals, the Flowers
They are just manifestations
Of the one and only Power!
We think our goal is happiness
And pleasures do we seek
So shallow is our passion
We never reach the peak
We may get everything we desire
We may achieve all we dream
But if we can’t realize God
Then our life is without a gleam!
The purpose of life is to find God
We must realize the truth
We must realize what we are not
Only then, we will get to the root
A few of us are lucky
We start seeking God
We give up everything else that we have
Because we are in love with the Lord!
All cannot find the Master
It depends on His Grace
A few of us are lucky
To finally see His face
Not in temples, churches or mosques
Neither in Scriptures, you tear apart
Those who truly love Him
Will find Him inside their heart
God is Everything, Everywhere
He manifests as You and Me
He is the Cause and we just Effects
Without Him, we cannot be
God defined is God denied
We must believe that he lives
He is beyond our comprehension
But He is the One who gives
This is a Cosmic Drama
The Earth just a big stage
We are all just actors
We perform till we age
Then one day, the time will come
We have to pack and go
When Death will take over life
It’s the end of the show
Who, Where, What is God?
Don’t question, just have faith
Try to realize the Truth
Then you will reach the gate!
When you find what you are not
And the truth stares at your face
Then in your own heart, you will find
The Heavenly Master’s grace

Life is a mystery ‑ We can’t track its history
It may seem to start at birth and seem to end at death
But what seems to be life’s end…
is but a bend to transcend
Body, mind and soul are what make life whole
But then comes death and we lose our breath
We mistake Happiness to be life’s goal
Until we realize – No! We must liberate our soul
The saddest thing is we don’t know the meaning of life
We live and we die with sadness and strife
We want this and that to be Happy and Glad
But we end up being miserable, greedy and sad
Life is a journey ‑ Like a river, we must flow
From God, we came and to God, we must go
Life is a Drama ‑ we desire and we crave
But nothing will be ours when we go to the grave
We foolishly think we are the body and mind
Until we get the “Aha”, we are the soul we find
We don’t know where we came from and don’t know where we will go
The Goal of Life is to reach the other shore
Most people don't live life; they just seem to exist
The cravings of the body, they just can't resist
They are so busy, no time to go on a quest
To find out who we truly are, putting life to a test
Of course, we are not the body - in the end, it will die
Are we the mind and ego? No, at death, they will fly
We are the Life Energy that departs at death...
We are the life itself that gives us our breath
We live in ignorance; the truth we don't find
We forget that we are the soul, not the body and mind
The God that we seek in a temple or a church
Lives inside our own hearts - a place we don't search
We are not this, not this....we are that!
Not the body, not the mind, the soul, in fact
The purpose of life is to realise this Goal -
We are not the body and mind. We are the Soul!

Chicken or egg - what came first?
Can't find an answer that will quench my thirst.
“Of course,” said the chicken, “it was me.
Without me, how could the egg ever be?”
This question goes round, and round and round,
But to most, the answer is never found!
For without the chicken can an egg be laid?
“And how could there be a chicken without me?” the egg said.
This question was asked but found no answer for years…
Until a wise man solved the mystery with wisdom and tears.
“Neither was the egg first nor was it the chicken.
The plan for this story was hatched in heaven.
That nothing in this world shall be a creation.
Everything that we see is but a manifestation.”
“What do you mean?” said someone with a scream.
“Nothing is real! Is everything just a dream?”
The wise man answered, ”Yes that is true.
Both appeared together, everything is a myth –nothing is true!”
The next time you are asked the question, “What came first?
Was it the tree or the seed that came first?”
Don't go in circles, round and round.
For the answer to the question will never be found!

I am not who I am!
I have a body, but am I the body?
I have a mind, but am I the mind?
I have an ego, but am I the ego?
Who is the me that I am?
Am I a butterfly? No that’s not me.
Am I a bee? No that’s not me.
Am I a tree? No that’s not me.
I am me!
Who is the me that I am?
I am not who I think I am
I am an Indian – No, that's my nationality
I am a Hindu – No, that's my religion
I am a male – No, that's my gender
I am not who I think I am!
I am not my car
I know what I am not
I am not my house
I know what I am not
What I am not, I know
But I know not who I am
I have eyes that can see
But the eyes are not me
I have limbs that can walk
But it's not me who does the talk
These are mine, but not me
Who is the me that I am?
I am not the Ego
That’s my identity
I am not the body and mind
That’s not ME
I am the Holistic Energy
I am “HE”
I am not the ‘I’ that I thought I was
Who am I? I know who I am.
