Poetries Based on the Bhagavad Gita

By Prashant Saxena

The Confined Soul

In the midst of the silent ocean

smiles the moon with its charming devotion

The sailor asks the sun of the night

O’lord guide me to my destination,

through this confusion and the momentary blight

I hear no more, the voice of the one

which connects the drops of the oceanic run

My path seems submerged in the waters of the dark

Help me with the wisdom, the light of shining arc

so I can fetch my heart and smile

and spread the jolly touch across the mile

The priestess of the night, the riser of the tide

spoke as the Jasmines bloomed to her musical wine

O’Lost one, do not be confused, do not depair

its a momentary game in the cosmic share

Rise above the worldy confinements and look

there’s a world where the soul wanders without a hook

Your sufferings are mounted on your desires

burning you in the painful material fires

Greed, ego, lust are few of its forms

forever trying to control, defines their norms

So break through these chains and look inside

the world is within you and inside you ride

Consciousness and Nature, Reincarnation

This pearl like starlit night

silent in thoughts and holding me tight

shows the past and the grim sorrow

but a future that heavens borrow

The eyes close and breath drops

with heavy heart and despair crops

Is this my final thought

when I’ll merge in nature’s abode ?

I see a light mystic and bright

a trance in my ear and resonance enshrine

waves of ecstacy rejuvenating my soul

it rises beyond from the material foul

I see those dearest to me

everyone in this momentary dream

that rise like waves in the ocean

and merges back in the supreme devotion

Final thoughts take me to the destination

A sudden weightlessness and lack of sensation

without consciousness and its earthly play

empty differentiation between night and day

Happiness unfurls and I feel nature in me

I see a light again in the water of the cosmos

A feminine universe that revives my skins

and I rise from the ashes with the seven sins
