The manas




                        9. THE MANAS

                      The lotus an' the lake;
                      The sea an' the wave;
                      The stream an' flow;
                      Are alike!

                     Woven smooth,
                     Non-dual feel,
                     The sunlight is
                     VIBGYOR!

                     The notion swirls to the feel;
                     The feel to be the wheel;
                     Wheeling to the ambition;
                     An' blossoming to the Design!

                     Thus the form, the name;
                     The sphere, the realm;
                     The transient;
                     The whisper;
                     You inspire!

                     The Note, the mesh;
                     Collage, unclear;
                     The flow perpetual;
                     Non-stop; Flair!

                     The flash at times;
                     Sparkle; blink;
                     Flare an' wink!

                    Twinkling the Star;
                    The Torrent the quanta;
                     Stream, the data;
                     Never at par!

                     The Matter at times;
                     The Power as well;
                     The Potential, the kinetic;
                     The Well, the Full;
                     The Eternal the Nil!

                      The speed that makes
                      The Time static;
                       The day to the night;
                       The dawn to the dusk;
                       An' vice versa!

                       The guess, the desire,
                       The imagination;
                       The apprehension; the ire;
                       The devotion!

                       The light, the sound,
                       The smell, the taste,
                       The touch an' round;
                       The ring, the wing;
                       The sanctum, of Fate!
