Aami hote chai

aami to hote chai koto kichu
ja naki dekhi tomeder majhe
hote chai, hote chai, hote chai
kintu tar to kichu nei amar majhe

hote chai sundor
hote chai boqta
hote chai tomar moto garir malik
hote chai tomar moto porisromi
hote chai khela dhulate bhalo
hote chai sob kichute sera

ja hote chai na
se holam aami
amar moto aami to aami hote chai na
amar kono kichui jeno thik noi
ektu edike, ektu odike kore dile sabhab take
tahole aami o bodhoy hobo khub boro

sarata jiban sudhu katlo hote tomader moto
sob kichu roye gelo adhora ek sopno

aaj ese bujhte pari
aami amar moto sobchaite sundor
aamar "nai" gulir jonno noi
aamar moto kore aamar jonno
sei aami te aami purno
sei aami tei aami tar bises sristi

Heaven

Do you sit there when you're most tensed
Do you sit there when you're most relaxed

Have you not read the novel there
Have you not enjoyed the pure music there

Have you not got the most brilliant ideas sitting there
Have you not eaten the stolen jaggeries there

You've sit there in the morning
You've sit there in the mid-day
And even in the darks mid-nights.

You've enjoyed yourself there
And you've cried there without telling anyone.

You've taken pictures of your kid sitting there
And you've waited like the dead when your wife was sitting there

I'm sure by this time you know this heaven
This is my paikhana.

Beautiful

I was walking along the road
And I saw a flower.
It's red in color
And it smells nice.

When I asked what's this called
Someone told me this is rose - but a wild one.

Oh - a rose, it's always beautiful
Wow - let me enjoy it's beauty.

I go to the tree, and look for the flowers
And suddenly I saw the leaves and the thorns.

Aren't these also beautiful !
Or they're more beautiful than the rose.
I've never thought in this way.

So now I look closer and closer
Which one is beautiful.

Is it the whole combination
Or the individuals.

I look into the rose first.
And I look into this deeply.

It's the bud, the petals and the bee on it.
And another closer look.
Which is beautiful ?
Suddenly there is nothing expect the rose - no beauty, no ugly
Nothing but the flower.
Uh ! Not even the flower.
There is something there,
Which I've known as a flower
And which once I knew as beautiful.
But now there is nothing there.

What about the leaves and thorns?
These are also there.
As good and bad as the rose
Same.
Nothing is there.

But the whole is there.

Isn't it the same around.
I saw around.
Something or the other these are called.
Road, brick, house, cars.

The whole is there.

Beggars as Kings

Getting influenced by UG Krishnamurty a lot. Lots of videos available on Youtube.
The best (or worst actually!) shot was that there is not even a single thought that I'm the owner - not even a single one. And see how proud I'm of "myself". Everything taken on debt and still behaving as if I created that kingdom - what the hell.
(Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization ---- Swami Vivekananda)
Another point which excited me - The people in the name of religion are running brothels.Come, pay , get some entertainment and go back. No question is asked from any party.

Pain Points

This is a term used by Ekharte Tolle - the writer for "The Power Of NOW".
He says that you don't need to do anything on those pain points - just be aware to it, see it - and it vanishes.

The whole life is full of these pain points - have you ever noticed:

Eating Chocolate/ Icecream will increase weight
There is an ideal weight
There is a god and sees everything you do
Life is for loving
I need to be a CEO
I need money
I need to understand others
I'm not normal
................. and the list goes on (rather whatever you're thinking is a pain point)

Doing nothing and just seeing those will open those knots - try and enjoy freedom.
