Discard the Role

Every role that you will play
has a purpose and a way, 
when it is done discard the role,
yours is a role, and you are a soul
Teacher you are, ends the day
when student has learned teaching his way
Parent you are, for daughter and son
ends when  they start rearing one 
Life partnership will also end
when you and your partner find
Lord as the only true soul-mate!
neither He loves nor does hate
Living as human ends through wisdom
when you realize heart as divine kingdom
Slow down my dear, pay attention
to every action and intention
As a seeking ardent soul
there is only one single goal
to set yourself worry-less and free
and go beyond  caste and creed
else, the life is vain and waste,
living a life in supreme haste 
you cannot afford lose even a day
when do curtains close? none can say!

“There comes a point in many people's lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves. When that happens, we are like actors finding that someone has changed the play.” -  Brian Moore 
=======================================Humor
A big game hunter went on a safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One morning, while still deep in the jungle, the hunter's wife awakened to find her mother gone.
She woke her husband, and they both set off in search of the old woman. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight.
The mother-in-law was standing face to face with a ferocious lion.
"What are we going to do?" his horrified wife asked.
"Nothing," her husband replied, "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

Journeying Soul

Yatra is a spiritual journey–
an avenue for soul to move forward
release from its slumber
within the boundaries of flesh,
confines of emotions and
limits of thoughts…
it is no vacation or leisure
for, it is a means to vacate the mind
from mere pursuits of pleasure
Merit of pilgrimage is
not for another holiday in heaven,
for heaven’ sake!
it is for heaven that you contrive,
whenever wherever you arrive
Dip in holy rivers is
no different than lying in a tub for bath,
should  you lack the depth of faith…
wearing holy ashes on the forehead is
just embellishment to your appearance,
should you lack holy reverence…
wearing beads and chanting names,
fasting for days, incenses and lights are
mere games of ego seeking to be noticed,
should you lack consistent fever
to expedite the soul its eternal journey…

“Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see” - William Newton Clarke

A tourist was being led through the jungles of Brazil.
"Is it true," he asked, "that a crocodile won't attack you if you carry a flashlight?"
"That depends," replied the guide, "on how fast you carry the flashlight."

See All As One Soul

‘My son asks many questions
to find out about our religion to follow
and me,  I never asked questions
to my parents ever at all”
said a desperate, anxious mother,
‘Even if you answer all his questions
don’t be sure that he will follow..’
I said ‘..and you followed even when
your questions left unanswered!
Following a path is not all
result of the genuine answers,
it is a matter of faith at heart
ardently ever to be sought

Intellect seeks right answers,
soul seeks innocent faith.
Study is for the questioning intellect,
sadhana is for the evolving soul.
Intellect strengthens curious individual,
soul strives to envelope the whole
‘See all as a single mighty soul, 
none is small, none knows all,
hate none, see Me in all,
all are in Me, I pervade all,
befriend your mind, never fall
I am same in all, so serve all’
are proclamations of the evolved soul,
not impressive statements at all
of a narrow intellect that talks tall!

"When you are in the light, everything follows you, but when you enter into the dark, even your own shadow doesn't follow you."

This old man visits his doctor and after a thorough examination, the doctor tells him,
"I have good news and bad news, what would you like to hear first?"
Patient: Well, give me the bad news first.
Doctor: You have cancer; I estimate that you have about two years left.
Patient: That's terrible! In two years, my life will be over! What kind of good news could you probably tell me, after this?
Doctor: You also have Alzheimer's. In about three months you are going to forget everything I told you.
