"evidencing" poems
It is a general saying that What You Seek is Seeking You. If it is so , then why the sought for (i.e. God ) is not meeting the seeker or seeker is discovering the sought for (i.e. God). It is very easy to say that God is looking and searching for us. If it is so, then why we deviate from our path. Why we are attracted to the lust, money or other worldly material. If God is searching us, then certainly he has to guide us in tracing him. But the reality is just opposite. If tread the path of God, people will laugh at you. If you are working in any office, it is very easy to talk about politics, movies, girls, foods, clothes etc. It is very difficult to find a companion with whom you can speak about God. It looks as if God has created all these hindrances so that it is not convenient to seek him.
You seek about movie and you find movie theater. You look for clothes, you find the multiples mall easily. But what about God. Go and ask questions to so called Spiritual Leaders, Spiritual Guru and ask for their experience regarding proof of god, and you do not find definite answered.
I have met various so called spiritual leaders, spiritual Gurus and asked about their spiritual experience about the God. But I receive only hesitating answer, that too also in Negative. I do not want to name such leaders.
I have also read many books like GOD SPEAKS by MEHER BABA, LAW OF SPIRIT WORLD by KHORSHID BHAWNAGRI, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF YOGI by Yogananda Paramhansa, Gospel of Shri Ramakrishna. But the end result is confusion. Each book gives different account of God. If God is seeking us then why the same is confusing us by providing so diverse ways of following him. Ramakrishna says money and women has to be avoided on the path of God. While Osho and Modern Gurus says just contrary. In fact in word of Osho, without treading the path of *** , it is difficult to follow the path of God for modern man.
For Vedanta, the seeking has to follow the ascetic path. The path the self restraint. While the path of tantra (the Left Marg) to utilize women and wine for attaining the Samadhi. It is Just incomprehensible to believe that just two contradictory path lead to realization of same God.
When you look to go nearer to a particular cities or places , then on the way you start meeting land marks, evidencing that the path, you are following , is going to lead you to your destination. In fact on the ways, you find many stones, indicating the distance which is yet to be covered in reaching the destination. But in case of God, things are just contradictory. The more people you approaches to seek advise regarding the God, the more disappointment comes to you. The more book you read to tread the path of God, the more confusion you creates for yourself. The more you discuss the topic of people around, the more alone you become. The more you tread the path of truth, the difficult your life become.
Then how it can be said that WHAT YOU SEEK, IS SEEKING YOU?????
In fact , truth is that What we seek, creates hindrance in being sought for.

Rolling power:
Churning waves
Grinding shells,
Prolific evidence of life & death
Rising from salt depths,
Epic revelations from below.
Evidence of end games:
Shells, drilled, scarred, scored
By beaks of tendrilled monsters;
Occupants devoured,
****** through ravaged carapaces.
Fecund progeny:
Tiny messages, these shells...
Evidencing life,
Echoing death,
Generations grinding down and down.
My tanned bare feet,
Track tide-lined shells,
Seek forensic evidence and beauty,
Follow ribbons of shells
Cast empty from the pounding sea.

Navy blue marble mornings,
Still clinging to the shiver of darkness.
Aching in my fingers and ears
Evidencing the zephyr's unkind caress.
An oppressive silence devouring cars and footsteps,
Pets and conversation.
Yet it is embraced, the stillness a balm,
Lending wise council within the maelstrom of thought.
Remarkably conducting the chaos into a concerto.
City stars keeping a staccato beat on the horizon,
A silent purpose statement in the ebb of the valley.
Ay, there's the rub.
How does one free the oppressed who are convinced they are free?
Like elephants bound in twine,
They are potently capable,
Needing only to see past sin's ostentatious facade.
But like the caged bird, they celebrate premature freedom.

I do not have the mind to understand you
Neither you have the mind to understand me
Blaming me, will not help as you knew
Everything inside my heart as you had the key
As like an open book, I was to you, until
Your demon started stirring up to fill
The nonsense in your heart and head
You have gone too far as you fed
The key that led to my heart, to the vigorous sense
Cursing me, accusing me, drawing me tense
How cheap your love and respect got
That you believed in your ridiculous thought
Rather witnessing and evidencing the real situation
Hell, would break lose on you to take any action
It's alright, your words have paid enough
To my emotions as it is breaking me apart
I will console myself as I always have
No apologies, as you don't have the nerve
To confront me face to face
Yet you too keen to roll the dice and trace
My emotions back to yourself, villianiously
Like you can try, but you don't know me obviously
I have stepped away from you as far as I can
You gave me alot to think and learn
Thank you, but you...just not fit to be my man!
