Exploration, 'Real' In The Realm

By Debasish Chattopadhyay

Wandering here and there to explore life 

Read, learn, write poems to know and recognize 

The significance of coming into this world

Fail again and again, life remains in pseudo world! 

Hovering to get a glimpse of the paradise 

Life ridicules playing the game of dice! 

The war of Kurukshetra happening within 

Abhimanyu is astonished & encircled therein!

“Life is a tale told by an idiot,

Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”?

“Fool”, said my Muse to me –

“You are blind as your eyes are open 

Close the eyes and you can see everything.” 

What to do when all the doors are shut? 

Journey begins piercing the mind into the heart

The doors get opened from root to crown 

Meet my ‘Self’ in the Paradise of New Town

The name, the body, the ego, the mind vanishes away 

Life is within, macrocosm functions in microcosmic way.

More’s ‘Utopia’ is found, real in this realm

Ecstasy is dripping continually in the inner domain

Krishna, Buddha, Allah, Jesus reside herein.
