ROSE & THORNS 🌹

A rose without thorns is no rose at all. A self-love without the recognition of self-loathing thoughts is no love at all!

MIRRORS🔍

All the pleasant things we experience in life,

are provided to us by the same source

as all the unpleasant things we experience...

By shifting this source

to any particular individual,

will always cause us suffering.

Whenever we hate anyone,

we hate not them, but only ourself.

Individuals are mediums

not the doer.

Individuals are appearances,

mirrors and fleeting shadows,

reflecting to us, parts of us,

but the source of light

behind all these shadows,

is only and only within our heart.

So, no matter how great the pain or anger,

the answer to it shall be discovered,

by going within.

~ Neha's Notebook

POETRY🌅

Poetry calls me to

take a journey,

Each poem

wants to take me

somewhere

but in the end

I find myself

reaching at the same place

for, each poem

stems from this place

of my heart

which people call by the name of love

and I like to call by the name of pain.

Sweet pain. Poetry.

EMOTIONS🎨

In the outer world, if a crocodile eats a goldfish, or if a tiger eats a deer, or if a leaf separates from the tree, or if a living organism dies,

it is sad.

But it is what is.

Life is full of heartbreaking appearances.

In the inner world too,

we all carry emotional energies which sometimes take the form of raging dinosaurs and sometimes like a sweet positive goldfish.

In the outer world,

we can’t control anyone’s destiny, their birth or death,

But here, in our inner world,

we do have an opportunity

to redirect these emotional energies

for knowing & understanding the nature of our mind.

By understanding the nature of our mind,

we shall be able to make efficient use of it

rather than being unconsciously driven by it!

FEARS👁️

Fears are the voices inside our head
which guide us about the

various possibilities we might

experience destruction, pain,

or loss in our upcoming life moments.

However, even the biggest of all fears

is but only a voice, and we are always

unattached to it. Anything can happen

to our body, and anything can happen

to our mind, but we are always unattached

and untouched to any kind of destruction.

But we must inquire this thing

with each and all of our fears,

with patience, dedication & focus.

VERSE🎨

It's okay

if you are the better

and I am the worse,

if you are the best

and I am your reverse,

if you are a beautiful blessing

and I am a dirty curse,

You and I,

both are unique verses,

and a verse after all,

is neither better or worse.

A verse,

no matter what kind,

is just a verse.

And I,

am just a unique verse!

BITTERSWEET BALLADS 🎵

Swimming

in currents of time,

Singing

bittersweet ballads...

INSPIRATION 💙

Inspiration is a natural process that results as a consequence of heart’s desire, mind’s interest & aware repetitive practice.

 

Like letters wrapped in glass bottles & sent to a desert far away via paperboats, lanterns or floating leaves, like you start receiving responses to all these letters. These might be called as points of inspiration.

 

To look at it this way, inspiration is both random and not random a phenomenon at the same time.

Short Poem & Reminder | Polarities

 

Summer doesn't exist 

without winter

Stars don't exist

without the dark

Day doesn't exist

without the night

Sensitive trees

don't exist

without solid barks!

NOTE IN WATER | Short Poem | Neha's Notebook

NOTE IN WATER

I'm a note in water

constantly changing

like transitory old-new waves

chiming & dancing

at blazing sun's gold coin beams

& restful moon's whiteglow gleams

I'm a note in water

I change, never the same

but the water in which I'm written

remains always just the same!
