The Prophecy of My Heart
I do not recite the mantra
Om Kreem Kleem Aim to get rid of sins.
To raise sacrifice nothing was set on fire.
As sage Valmiki says,
The Lord resides in a lotus in the middle of the heart
I have never seen.
I have never had the joy of having the Lord as a great light.
My soul has never had the relationship with God in the state of Samathi
But there is only my mind which does not exist
I look at it with an inner face
It smells divine.
Everything seems to me and you.
The Ether observes everything,
It also knows Newton's third law.
One day the mighty's rise and the weak's fall will change
If not, in the great fire of truth,
all evils will dry up.
About this poem
The poem "The Prophecy of My Heart” beautifully explores an insight of human or poet's psyche. The poet comprises his individualistic nature of philosophy by observing natural consequences in and around poet. The poem delineates poet's mind and soul and it put forth his insight thought deliberately. He prophecies that human could not enchant to get rid of their sins and never enlighten fire to sacrifice himself. As Sage Valmiki connotes that he seen God in the midst of lotus in limelight but poet contradicts that he never seen God in such limelight. The poet subtly mocks that not only his soul relates himself with samathi (statue) but also his mind never exists. Instead, he observes inner beauty divine and smells it. The poet emerges not only with sacredness but also with scientific influence at the end of the poem i.e.; Newton's third law with ones rise and fall chosen to be either mightier or weak ones and it imminently shows in human psyche. more »
