aham brahmasmi

You're walking on the busy road.. 
You're strolling in a garden 
You're hurrying to the office 
You decide to walk to the market..

In every instance above.. 
You've to cross and criss-cross
A mileu of.. 
Trees, birds, flowers, lawns... 
People, children, dogs... 
Vendors, kiosks, shops..

All the time you're... 
Engaged within your own mind, 
Talking to yourself silently.. 
Seeing people in your mind.. 
Drawing pictures in your thoughts.. 
Smiling now, gnashing now.. 
Nodding now and then!

Open your door and step out 
Of your cocoon, your mind-shell 
Breath in the sights 
Merge in the scenes 
Drink the colours 
Taste the honey..

Keep this your daily sadhana.. 
A trip out of your mind's room 
Into the bubbling waters of life 
munch and reflect the excitement 
As you now dive within 
Telling your secret mantram 
Counting your beads 
You'll see wonderous visions 
As you settle gradually 
Surrounded by the melting pot 
You become the Homa fire 
Chanting.. 
Aham Brahma Asmi..

~V Ravichandran Salem
