Meditation
On Time
We are, in human form, a dancing
bubble of consciousness,
To be reclaimed by universe
in a twinkle of time,
In our brief journey a lot is
put on our shoulders,
Many false visions are fastened
to us,
Many unreal values surround
us.
Man has been blind to the grandeur
he is born with,
He has invented a mythology
to give him unearthly character,
He has invented aspects of culture
to give life drama and color,
But man comes with these naturally,
The irony of this is excruciating.
The elements of life have come
from the mind-bogglingly hot and distant stars,
Which coalesced over billions
of years,
This drama of our creation is
a supreme piece of grandeur.
Much artificiality and reining
in of the natural spirit is the outcome of
culture,
Much confusion about how to
live reigns mankind,
Much perplexed is mankind about
the meaning of life,
Man comes with powerful raw
materials and messages from nature,
Growing up should be the strengthening
and refinement of these.
Life is a celebration of the
brilliant mechanism of
nature we are,
The capacity to observe and
understand that are given
to us,
The long age we are bestowed
with.
It is a brief spark of god
That we need to use in a large
and opportunistic way.
Man is born free and possessed
of grandeur,
But culture robs him of these
and substitutes dependence and hollowness.
He has good intuition of enjoyment
and responsibility,
But world supplants them with
inhibition and guilt.
The drama and beauty of life
are inherent in its nature,
Its wonder our ever-present
reverence,
Its capacity and potential our
enduring awe.
Time is one of the fundamental
dimensions of universe,
Meditation on time is the contemplation
of universe,
Where we come from and where
we inexorably return,
Meditation on time is life itself.
