Selfrealization Poems
Rebirth
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
The waves of the ocean come and go
After a dark night, the sun will glow
The Law of Cycles operates everywhere on earth
And so, after we die, we come back in a Rebirth
What is the cause of this human birth?
What was the reason we came to earth?
We didn't decide where and when we were born
It was our Karma that sounded the horn

Sleepy Late
by S. Taylor Chew
Another night in my mind
Sleepy late, the borrowed kind
Why do I keep coming back here
When I know it’s empty inside?
I’m sorry the good Lord didn’t show
It’s hard to believe I know
That we’re all born broken and bitter
Good spirits are everything

The 10 Commandments of Detached Attachment
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
'How I wish I was free from attachments’
So often we hear people cry
To possessions and people, they cling to everything
And are miserable till they die
Nothing is ours, this truth don't we know?
We come with nothing and with nothing we go
Still out of ignorance we get attached
We foolishly think it is real, not a show
If we want to be happy, we must learn to let go

Prema Yoga
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
What is Prema Yoga?
How can Love unite us with God?
How can Love for the Beloved
Make us one with the Lord?
Love is a powerful emotion
It can take us to any length
For Love, kings even gave up their throne
Love has so much strength

Give before you are gone
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Give, before you are gone, for you are sure going to go.
This world is nothing more than a drama, a show.
Give, for you don't know when the death whistle will blow!
Nothing is ours, did we bring anything with us?
We will leave everything behind, then why all the fuss?
Isn't it better that we give away our surplus?
This world is not real, it is a Cosmic Illusion.
Man is a fool, he gets caught in his possession,

the foul
by Shri Vats
I am the fool atop the world
laughing at those who try to climb up.
I teach ancient knowledge only made yesterday
I speak about free will when i am told to.
I am the fool atop the world
throwing stones at those who challenge me
I claim to speak the truth but sell lies instead
I truly Believe that i am humble
Yet i build statues to spread my name

Good spirits are everything

To See the World Through Others’ Eyes
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
Once I thought I knew it all,
My mind was set, my pride stood tall.
But then a shift, a change of heart,
And suddenly my world fell apart.
What once was clear, now seemed obscure,
The things I knew, I was no longer sure.
My stubbornness had kept me blind,
But now I see, a new path to find.

I See the World With Open Eyes
by Oscar Auliq-Ice
My heart did beat,
A fortress of stone, with no retreat,
I kept the world at bay with ease,
And let no one come close to me.
But then one day, a crack appeared,
A chink in my armor, to be feared,
A stranger's kindness broke me open,
And all my defenses were broken.
