milk once curdled
cannot go back
day after day,
imperceptibly
the seed grows,
a growth which cannot be undone.
every step, every action,
whether comforting,
out of a mind wide awake
or from a stressful moment,
a disconcerting mistake
it all leads you forward
on the path
even a tiny step, a little action
resonating with your nature
leaps you light years ahead
freeing from the greatest fears
you have no choice
but to move closer
ha....
did you know?
that the way back home
...its a one-way street?
you could move straight
or you could move
chasing this chasing that,
zigzag
you will reach home anyways
but the unprofessional
with a million stopovers
and the smart-focussed one
on a direct flight....
so integrate your mind
and resolutely focus
on what the moment needs from you
scattered and frizzled into
uncountable fruitless rivulets
is the thought/creative power of the uncaring...
be professional and diligent on this path to now-here too!
"Be very busy . . . and just be.The events come and go, they perish like flowers.But every event and every person contains some honey. Like a bee, just take the honey out of every event and every moment and move on.Be like a busy bee and be in the Being." -Sri Sri
Mahatma Gandhi's version
40. Here no effort undertaken is lost, no disaster befalls. Even a little of this righteous course delivers one from great fear.
41. The attitude, in this matter, springing, as it does, from fixed resolve is but one, O Kurunandana; but for those who have no fixed resolve the attitudes are many-branched and unending.
