“Who am I”

“Why do you waste your time like this?”,
a passerby asked a sanyasi sitting by the riverside.

He remained silent.

“Don’t you want to live a life?”

Without opening his eyes, in a voice deeper from within him asked back.

“You have lived your life?”

“I have. I still do. I have started a family, I own a house, and I own a business. made money, finding ways to make more, so I can live happily”, he replied egoistically.

“You think you will be happy in the end?”

“Yes, I have owned everything”

But with one reply from the Sanyasi, his ego was broken to smithereens.

“You don’t own your breath”

Sunkissed Soul

‘Who am I?’

Serenity being nature’s demeanor,

yonder stands a tree on a poised hill,

shadowing the sorrows of life that lies below

the clear sky and above the crystal sea,

symbolizing the truth beyond naked eyes,

so I sit beneath it with closed eyes, 

listening to earthly aroma

gifted by the muted breeze

that comes uninvitedly and

brushes a strand of my hair,

it feels like the caresses from God,

and it feels like home.

The Truth

In the end, it was all just a matter of realization but no one realizes it while they are aware and alive.
