White A LOOK AT LIFE-141 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The earth is mine So the water, air, fire and space. They hold me, Sustain my existence and Let me move ahead With my infinite journey towards infinity Many births I have taken Many lives I have lived Many deaths I have died They have been with me for ages Preparing me for that ultimate moment. As and when I come They come and combine, Give me a beautiful body Mind and intellect To think and assess, Enable consciousness under the veil To come out, observe, deduct And arrive at the truth It is the body Through which consciousness is manifested. Sans a physical body no evolution is possible. I am earth, water, air, fire and space I am the body, I am the mind and intellect Yet I am much above these I am the pure consciousness Having no beginning, no end But it is the physical form That makes way for the journey From body, mind, intellect to consciousness. From mundane to the Divine From pain and sorrow to bliss From death to immortality I love my body Hope it will carry me Till I realise and Go beyond it Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-284 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY If you don't listen to me How can you connect with me Connect with my heart and soul Dreams, yearnings and wishes Grief, tears and melancholiness If you do not see me How can I convey my feelings How can I let you know What you mean to me When my eyes open They intend to see you When my eyes close They keep you in my mind's eye Never let me lose sight of you Even in deep and the wildest of dreams My heart silently chases you I connect with you at a subconscious level When the surrounding world withers away Wither away all calculations, Permutations and combinations When remain none except you I meet you on the other side of the horizon My thinking evaporates into nothing And I find myself amid bliss and joy Does not matter How you feel, what you do and undo Irrespective of your fancies and whims I will always stay connected with you At a different level Smruti Ranjan Mohan ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White A LOOK AT LIFE-140 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The higher you go The lonelier you feel The more sophisticated you become The more you miss life Calculations, permutations and combinations Dreams, desires and ambitions unlimited Take you miles away from life and reality You miss the fresh morning sun The cool breeze coming across And the romantic moon weaving dreams of love You miss the first rain The smell of moist earth The smile on your child's lips The dreamy eyes of your better half The love and concern of your parents Your status Creates a golden cage Where you stay alone Talk to yourself It never allows you to come out And live your normal life Standing on the top of the world You cry in vain Find none to share your feelings You celebrate your success all alone With no one to cheer No one with you except your inflated go Be aware of yourself You are your biggest enemy It is you, no one else Who deprives you of life and its beauty Your quest for nothing creates a big void And land you in a no man's land Where you find nothing But a ladder that never ends Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-274 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY My love! Do you want to live in a relationship? Don't you know? It is a bondage Too demanding and complicated For love to find its space It struggles to withstand The summer heat and winter rain After thousands of compromises Adjustments, permutations and combinations One never remains oneself And love loses its beauty and grace Living a while, dying most of the time One becomes a machine Enduring a patterned relationship Patterned behaviour, Permanent expectations all the while What remains is not love Something else Love dies silently Once the free birds in the blue sky Languish in a golden cage. Very few understand the meaning of love Love is too delicate to bear A demanding relationship It will wilt and fade away My love! Be my soulmate Let us meet in a different space Where there are No expectations, no cravings Only peace and bliss Love and love only Smruti Ranjan Mohantu ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty
