Nothing Exists


Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shikoku.Desiring to show his attainment, he said: “The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received.”

Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry.

“If nothing exists,” inquired Dokuon, “where did this anger come from?”

Fly high in the limitless sky

I can not make you understand with my words if you are not able to understand me in silence. And i always think that why your eyes recognised me but you did not? May be your wings also tied up to fly high and enjoy the wonder of this limitless sky. Thanks for letting it go.

काश कोई होती

काश कोई होती जिस पर कविता कभी गज़ल लिखते कोई खूबसूरत  हसीन  नाम जिसका कादंबरी कभी मुमताज महल लिखते निर्मल होता मन जिसका पावन पवित्र ऐसा कभी उसको नर्मदा कभी गंगाजल लिखते गहरी आंखें जैसे कोई सागर मंत्रमुग्ध करती उसको कभी झील का कमल लिखते बातें ऐसी जो  अस्तित्व भुला दे डूब कर उसके भावों में जीवन का हल लिखते साथ होता ऐसा जैसे रात में चांदनी भूल कर गमों को अपने साथ उसके अपना कल लिखते छुपा लेती मुझे बचा लेती मुझे जीवन की धूप से साए को उसके अपना आंचल लिखते झटकती सुखाती अपने बालों को ऐसी बरसात की घटाओं का रंग काजल लिखते नहा कर  उसके प्यार में सब पाप मिट जाते ऐसे यार को पहली बरसात का बादल लिखते कोई पछतावा न रहता जीवन में हार जाने का जब नाम उसके साथ अपना पागल लिखते उसकी हंसी को संगीत बना कर जीवन का गीत पल पल लिखते अब वो नही है तो हमे क्या खबर कि हम  क्या क्या लिखते। (मेरे यार कविकास की अधूरी रचना ) *****

Your Untressed blown Hairs

Your untressed blown hairs touching the wind gently, And the grace of your beautiful eyes touched my Soul so intensely. The Love River of my Tears continuously flow, When emptiness inside me, & emptiness inside you   together blow. Relation between   you and me, will forever remain, like golden rays of Sunlight, in the heavily seldom Rain. In the abyssal   valley of my heart, When you sulked;   Just like an Unconditional Adoration of Loving Beloved. I leave all my woes, When a beautiful smile on your shiny face glows. When my heart talks   with your beautiful talks, I leave the world behind   and Walk. OH MY LOVE; Perhaps towards my   unconditional Love, you are not aware, Otherwise you too Would Keep promises with fearless Dare. Your untressed blown hairs touching the wind gently, And the grace of your beautiful eyes touched my Soul so intensely. ****
