I am a world citizen trained as architect pursuing art, literature, criticism, mysticism, poetry, book writing extending my outreach to embrace entire humanity
Woman has such enormous innate powers, my father used to tell
That positively inclined she can transform a home into Heaven
If angered and provoked to negativity she can create on earth hell
Defeating the formidable force of an army of maverick men
Mostly Men are ungrateful, maverick, and unmanly
They forget the Body they boast about is Woman’s gift
They treat Women shabbily and behave uncannily
Flexing their biceps savagely into brutality, they drift
P-O-E-M is Profound Observation Expressed as Meditation
Nobel Laureate TS Eliot declared: Poet Is An Observer
The Reader’s experience provides the Poem’s elucidation
If he is alive to Life’s heartbeats with the same fervour
Instinct is the uncanny ability to think with the Body
Formal Education destroys it without your knowledge
From what was natural behaviour becomes shoddy
But in drunken stupor you move from school to college
Dr SS Bhatti
They make promises but never keep their word
Anxiety-ridden, procrastination is their life’s way
They all belong to humanity’s unenviable herd
Putting off tasks is their long inertial holiday
From God’s command “Let it be” million rivers flowed
Big Bang turned Air, into Water raining for billions of years
Countless stars and galaxies formed when a bit it slowed
The Universe expanded, and shaped into robotic spheres
B-A-N-I is Benediction for Awareness of Nature’s Injunctions
Because Nature as Cosmic Essence is God’s Manifest Might
It teaches the seeker to obey Hukm for all his mortal functions
To live fully, working and sharing everything in Divine Light
From Sound emerged the Universe and after inordinate wait
It put Man on the panoramic scene with a gift of speech
He made countless spoken and written words to write his fate
Language is thus his greatest invention with incredible outreach
N-A-A-M is Nature’s Activities Accommodated in Meditation
Along with electro-magnetic and other forces like gravitation
It’s HUKM that God turned into a mode of divine worship
No longer, “There is many a slip between the cup and the lip”
I stand convinced, not by belief but by lived understanding, that the universe is not indifferent, nor is humanity abandoned. What we lack is not intelligence but wholeness. Science has taught us how to master matter; Guru Nanak taught us how to master fear.
Knowledge is awakening, not a possession
It is the soul’s mystical gateway to salvation
Humility is Mind totally emptied by Naam
Cleansed by Hukm for divine benediction
