  QUOTE The material process is working in darkness, in time, in knowledge, in ignorance, and so on. When insight takes place, there is the dispelling of that darkness. That is all we are saying. Insight dispels that darkness. And thought, which is the material process, no longer works in darkness. Therefore that light has altered–no, it has ended–ignorance. ~J Krishnamurti   INSPIRED COUPLETS Worldy progress, a shadow deep, While deeper truths, we fail to keep. More gadgets gleam, our minds grow dim, Ignorance blooms, on progress' whim. We chase the false, with eager eyes, Blind to the truth, behind the lies. Look inside, your mind to mend. See the lie, the truth transcend. Darkness flees when insight's bright. Ignorance fades in wisdom's light. When thoughts are gone, the mind at ease, True insight flows, like gentle breeze. All thinking born of matter's fray, No deeper truth to light the way. Insight's bright gleam, a waking sign, Dispels the dark, the mind's...

Breaking Chains Through Contemplative Study

Image
 Breaking Chains Through Contemplative Study POEM Let's break the chains, a gentle plea, For eyes to see, truly, freely. Chants and words, a whispered hum, Repeat the old, till understanding's numb. Rituals done, with careful hand, But the heart's not touched, on shifting sand. Praise sung loud, a hollow sound, When meaning's lost, nowhere to be found. Glib sermons, a tidy art, But truth's not learned, in this bare part. This outer show, a painted door, Lets not the light shine evermore. It builds a wall, so strong and deep, Where thinking minds are lulled to sleep. From this dark spell, we must awake, For our own journey, our own sake. To question why, to seek the core, And not just echo, anymore. Contemplate 'n learn, with open mind, The truths within, we're meant to find. Not just to follow, blind and slow, But to fathom aim 'n truely grow. Reference   for citation Kishore, L.. (2026, August 24).  Breaking Chains Through Contemplative Study, Lalit Kis...

Digital world woes: Couplets

Image
Digital world woes: Couplets Screens glow bright, a hurried race, Lost in data, leaving no trace. Too much digital, minds unbound, Feeling lost, on shaky ground. Emotions blur, what's right, what's wrong, Digital excess, where do we belong? In virtual worlds, we start to fray, Real connection fades away. Synthetic faces, what do they hold? Our true selves, bought and sold. The cost is high, a heavy toll, Lost in pixels, losing control. Replicas lure, a siren's call, Psychic wounds, stand up tall. Digital maze, a tangled thread, Societal chaos, fills our head.

Digital farce: Couplets

Image
  Digital farce: Couplets Our eyes gaze at screens, a digital sheen, Lost in a world, a vibrant, fake scene. With endless new things, our minds start to fade, Copying others, a life half-made. The joy disappears, a dull, heavy haze, Trapped in the glow of these digital days. Invisible bonds, they quietly bind, To stuff and to shows, leaving peace far behind. Politics clash, with words sharp and mean, Lost in the echo of the digital screen.
