Our mind and so we, keep running to fulfill the desires
restlessly or sometimes we have to run unwillingly. Fulfillment of the desire
may give the joy for some time but not the eternal bliss. We feel thirsty and
tired inside till the moment we realize, ‘What We Are’, according to
Brahmavakya ‘Aham Brahmasmi’, I am not different from the supreme power, or ‘Shivoham’,
I am the complete bliss, Shiva.
Once we realize, ‘What We Are’, we don’t run but work
naturally with the bliss, fulfill the duties with perfection but without attachment, and this is the eternal Harbor.
This haiku is the state of mind of a Sadhak (person moving on
the spiritual path) or Mumukshu (Desperate
for the Moksha – The salvation).
Thirsty word reflects all these feelings, even in the ocean we can't have a drop of water to quench our thirst.
tired,
thirsty swimming
in
life's ocean; no harbor
no rest
and no shore
It's an amazing reflection upon life and slavation!!!
