LEARNING IS LIFE

WITHER LEADERSHIP!   To wn hall doors were locked up tight, the corridor was packed, With citizens who held their bills, demanding that he act. They cried out for the broken schools, the water line that failed, But from inside the chamber walls, a different sound prevailed.  For there, the leader in fine dress tapped his polished shoe, A stage-managed production crew had engineered the view. He chose a sweet, devotional tune to charm the local youth, And organized a clapping choir to drown the ugly truth.  The youth-managed ensemble played a bright, uplifting beat, To mask the harsh reality of struggle on the street. So if your roof is falling down or safety can't be found, Don't bother knocking on his door or waiting around. Just grab a tambourine and learn to sing devotional song, And join the leader's staged, stage-managed captive throng.

 READ TO REDEEM: POEM To heal, we must feel, To feel, we must read. With spirit and zeal, Planting learning's seed. To earn, we must learn, To reflect, we must read. For perfection to turn, It's knowledge we need. To think, we must know, To create, we must dream. To contemplate, grow, A transformative stream. To imagine, transform, To leave our own mark, Ignite an inner storm, A bright, reading spark. With flow, let it bloom, Let wisdom take hold. Escape any gloom, Be smart, brave, and bold. Make reading an art, A journey so grand. Let knowledge impart, Across all the land.

  Intelligence: Viewpoint of Sunyata, quote and inspired poem According to  noted Danish thinker and philosopher, Sunyata, intelligence is our original state consciousness before ego is created by worldly conditioning.  Quote "In our experience, consciousness [innate intelligence] is there, is here, before ego-consciousness emerges and usurps. This integral consciousness is naturally not conscious of itself as such [until self-realized]... it is there and here, and is later co-existing with ego-consciousness, un-irked and un-clashing." Inspired Poem Mindful Intelligence: The Art of Detached Awareness A quiet mind, so clear and bright, Holds all 'that is', in gentle light. No need for thoughts, no need to chase, Just watching-wondering in calm space. A knowing deep, a vibrant hum, Where purpose of life freely comes. A well of wonder, vast and wide, With vast innate gifts held inside. No "what ifs" bind, no "shoulds" restrain, Just truth that flows, ...

  Hindi Poet Dinkar's Message to Youth The fight still rages, not yet won, And blame for wrong is not for one. The watchers silent, playing no part, Time marks their guilt within its heart. When trouble comes, the weak will fright, But fighters stand with all their might. The striving soul will not despair, They find a way beyond compare. Through thorny paths, they boldly stride, With courage as their trusted guide.

  ‘ Hukam’ Acceptance of Divine Will with ‘Chardi Kala’ Hopeful Striving Redeems  T he Creator's will, a cosmic, gentle hand Is ‘Hukam’, we learn, a truth to hold so dear. Align your thoughts with all that He’s planned, And know the order, banishing all fear. Let joy and sorrow flow with equal grace, For both are sent from wisdom, pure and deep. Within the universe, in time and space, God's perfect plan, His promises to keep. So cast aside the ego's selfish plea, And bow to ‘Hukam’, the divine decree. With ‘Chardi Kala’, let optimism reign, And in surrender, find true peace again. This is the path, serene and ever bright, To live in ‘Hukam’, bathed in His loving light.   Nanak naam chardi kala, Tere bhaane sarbat da bhala Tera kiya meetha laage, Har naam padarath Nanak maange
