HOME GOING – NOT AS AN ALIEN

Child asked for the bottle of medicine
In his mother’s hand.
It was a beautiful bottle.
He was sure that,
Being her very dearest child,
His demand won’t be declined.

But his mother did not give.

Child took her very wrong and cruel.

His mother did one thing.
She gave him a simple available toy.

Do you think mother was wrong?
Or was not his mother wise enough?

*******************

Mother ate for herself
Very heavy delicious food,
And gave her dear little child
Her breast milk
And some biscuits.
That too when he cried
For the food she ate.

*****************
Wasn’t the mother wise enough?
And did she do anything wrong
Towards her dearest one?

Let us wait till the child grow up
To get the answer to this.

********************

Meanwhile,
Draw a simple circle
And think this is the picture of the whole universe
You live in.

Then, think where will you be in this circle?

A very minute dot or spot in it.
In the middle or any where.

Then, think where will be the god?

Every where around you.

So, then how will be your path and access
To God?

From any where
Through any where.

Not confined to the one defined.

*********************

Again, draw a simple circle
And think this is the picture of the whole universe
You live in.

Then, think where will you be in this circle?

You are every where in this circle.

Then, think where will be the god?

A very minute dot and spot in it,
In the middle or any where.

Then, then how will be your path
To God?

From any where
Through any where.

Not confined to the one defined.

*******************

It is true.
The cup in your hand is filled
With the water from the ocean.

But, don’t be that eager to conclude
That you only have got the water from the ocean
And no other can get such water from the ocean.

Also never try to conclude
Water in your cup only can be the water in the ocean
And the ocean cannot give its water to any one else.

*********************

True to say,
Child’s dearest mother was afraid
That the medicine bottle will be broken and
The medicine inside the bottle,
If her little innocent child happen to drink or taste,
Would cause serious problem to her dearest.

******************

When you search God
It is your search for your home.

When you reach him
It is your reaching your home.

Never a stranger
And never an alien.
It is your home going.
