Life is not a game
To many people, life
is a game
That needs raw power
or wit to win
Driven by this
intoxicating urge
They dive deep into
the game of life
Pouring themselves
on every fibre of life
Discarding
everything they know about themselves
Rushing to the
centre of life’s most loved shore or pitch
Acquiring knowledge
and creating a platform for ego to emerge
Acquiring material
wealth and all that money can buy
In the process,
draining whatever emptiness or silence they had
And filling all the
spaces in their hearts with desires, wants, needs and longings
They have now
entered a perilous path of selfishness, corruption and deceit
They are forced to
wear multiple facial expressions to torment or impress their prey (or quarry)
Their life becomes
camouflaged in wealth, power and utter disgust
They start to find
it harder and harder to enjoy life
Other people become
tools to be used
Everything in their
path is an opportunity to be exploited or filth to be discarded
There is no room for
powerlessness, humility, compassion and hope
There is no space
for emptiness and nothingness
There is no Silence
Life has swallowed
them whole
And they no longer
exist
Except on the rails
of power
Life is not a game
It is a trap
Just like droplets
of rainwater
If you want to reach
the ocean of life (everlasting life)
Do not rush into
every cubicle of life on your path
Always keep your
body, mind and soul (consciousness) together
This sacred entity
(consciousness) can only exist in emptiness or nothingness
It needs Silence to
be glued together
This is the path of
the spirit (or Light)
This is the bowl of
peace, hope, happiness and Love
You have to remain
outside the trap of life
Not to be trapped by
life and its pot of juicy tastes
You have to remain
empty of all acquired knowledge
Because you are the
whole of existence
Do not get lost
inside the dimension of space-time
You are the
dimensionless realm (eternity)
You are the fabric of
Love
And the abode of
Love
God is Love and the
everlasting life
