Silent Melody

Ave Maria - Schubert

From where does
Symphony 40,
or Moonlight Sonata,
or Pink Moon,
Arise?

from where does
that flower,
which blossoms
day and night,
blossom?


i want to touch that flower
and mix in its frangnance
and become the music
which arises
day and night.

but there is a river
which runs between
me
and the music
and the flower.

i could never cross the river
and touch the flower

but the flower blossoms
every day and night

and the music arise
from some unknown abyss

If you meet Nazarene on the road, Kick him

the recluse fixed up
an appointment with
the good ol' yogi
from Nazareth.

'redeem me you scum, you fukin delivery boy', recluse said

The Nazarene smiled and said,
'From where?
To where?'

recluse got angry and said,

'you fukin boorshua..
ur making spineless slaves outta ordinary men..
you and your phony preachings...
you are the fukin biggest economic hitman...
gloryfying misery and hunger and starvation.
and givin false beliefs to people
that suffering is the path to salvation..

there is no redemption
there is no salvation
there is no soul
there is no nothing..
you are a fukin CIA agent' .

He got up
and kicked the yogi.

And then went on and
wrote a book,"If you meet Nazarene on the road, Kick him!"

a practial guide on Kicking, it was even used by ManU football coach, which became a bestseller.

Nazarene smiled.
and said

'ji is us'

and thereby
became a superstar Salesman.

he was riding his bike
thinking about writing his
next bestseller
on,

while he was deeply thinking
and thinking deeply about this impending bestseller,
a Calf strolled across the road.
the recluse ran over it
and its hind leg got caught in the wheel.
it dragged itself along with the bike
for a full 30 seconds
until the recluse pressed the brake hard.

and then,
the Calf released itself from the wheel
and walked across,
as if nothing happenned.

The onlookers were puzzled.

the recluse,
thus,
got Enlightened.



The End.

On How To make friends and Influence people

the recluse poked and tickled Sisyphus
and stole the rock from him
and tied it to his leg.

he brought it to the town
and threatened to throw it over people,
if they refused to be his friends.

they obliged.
and thus,
he wrote the book,
a practical guide on
'How to make friends and Influence people',
which became a best-seller.

On how to stop worrying and start living

the recluse thought of writing a gloomy poem,
but gave up
laughing at the futility of writing one.
and the recluse thought of not writing a gloomy poem,
but gave up
laughing at the futility of not writing one.

it struck him that if writing one is as futile as
not writing one,
then,
why dontya hang himself!

and from there on
the recluse thought about hanging himself.
but gave up
laughing at the futility of hanging himself.
and the recluse thought of not hanging himself,
but gave up
laughing at the futility of not hanging himself.

And from thereon
he thought of writing a gloomy poem.

The Buddhist and the Backpacker

"You need to work yourself up into some kind of a state every morning and believe that you are doing something terribly important upon which the future of literature, if not the world, depends. Buddhism tells you that this is just a foolish fantasy.

So, I try not to think too much about Buddhism early in the morning. From noon on, I think about it." - Pankaj Mishra
