Let my every word be a prayer to Thee,

Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee,

Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image,

Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee,

Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet;

Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do,

Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee."

>From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari

Pranam. Here is the poem.

 

 

My Dreams

 

I dreamt….

I dreamt that

I was a bird

Flying high in the blue sky

 

A predator sometimes

A prey other times

I flew high and dove

Down to the depths

Governed by my instincts

 

I flew and flew and flew

In freedom, as I pleased

Until I saw Man

And his splendid cage.

 

I dreamt that I was a lion

Roaring in the twilight

The king of the jungle

Having domain of all I saw

Until I saw Man

 

I dreamt that I was a man

Born amidst joy

And lived amidst despair

While my homeland was ravaged by strangers

 

I dreamt all this

And enjoyed and suffered accordingly

 

I dreamt all this and then I woke...

Upon waking, I laughed

And wondered in astonishment

About my dreams.

Thank you, Shankaree ...

 

A lot of wisdom here in a few deceptively simple words. I am glad that

you decided to share it with us.
