Somewhere in the world

By Praveen M. Joshi

 

Somewhere in the world;

And in my sweet dreams;

I just want to see;

Myself roaming free!

 

Roaming through the city streets;

Down the rivers, lakes, and creeks;

I will walk the planet all around,

Moreover, will tread the space abound,

Wherever I will be,

Will take you always with me!

 

Morning, noon, and the evening all,

Do tango with me all along!

To make my life and times sublime,

Will sing the songs Divine!

Wherever I will be,

I will be roaming free!

Our existence, consciousness and bliss lends lustre to Life!

By Praveen M. Joshi

 

Body, mind, intellect, & memory

Are like the crystals, rocks and minerals;

The light of the soul interacts with their surface, and;

Help us lustrously radiate thoughts, emotions, and actions!

 

With a characteristic lustre, practically glowing;

The instruments of life and living when freshly cleaned;

By extension, interest, attractiveness, or splendour of a seasoned enthusiast;

Refine the thoughts, emotions, and actions very fast!

 

Hey Life, we know now by sheer insight,

We can stimulatingly lend the brilliance of our soul through our thoughts, emotions & actions;

Moreover, passionately improving the degrading environment;

We can add lustre to our entire life and living unifying in spirits all the scattered factions!

 

Carefully being active, and actively being careful;

In addition, employing the righteousness attentively to every opportunity in disguise;

We can overcome negligence; and,

Let us enjoy in its entirety our existence, consciousness, and bliss!

We are the entirety!

By Praveen M. Joshi

Entirety that is, Entirety this too is!

Entirety is born of an Entirety!

Lessen this from that;

Entirety is what remains!

 

Life, an action in entirety;

A process to achieve the goal;

Of realizing the entirety;

That holds our potential !

 

Potential to act righteous;

Creating wealth, controlling desires;

Liberating from all bondages;

Delivering us into the entirety again, is what life exercises!

 

An exercise to self-actualize;

Life is to be lived,

Remembering to know;

We are the entirety!

Let us promise to make life as lustrous as ever!

By Praveen M. Joshi

 

My dear Life, I have lived you all through;

We lived you all through those bygone days and nights!

Nevertheless, forgive us, for we had not cared awhile

We cared not to retain your shine as lustrous as ever!

 

As we lived, engulfed in a perennial struggle, we dared;

Dared to do this and then that, but cared not to measure how we fared!

We struggled between the bouts of actions and inactions;

However, could not retain our union that faltered into factions!

 

In the field of life we stand, facing the notions of negligence;

Though careful and attentive to watch, you live by;

Nevertheless, we lose ourselves to carelessness and inactions;

Neglecting the righteousness for we are in a hurry!

 

Hey Life, don’t lose heart nor do will we lose you by;

Help us explore and discover what gives us our inner drive to live you!

Help us to know who we are, and why do you want us here!

Moreover, be with us for in due course we will retain your shine as lustrous as ever!

We will do it to earn success, satisfaction & happiness!

By Praveen M Joshi

 

To Make our lives sublime,

Do efforts worth not more or less!

And join now in the modern times,

To earn success, satisfaction & happiness!

 

 

Realizing the potential of nature and man,

Will lend us the satisfaction and success!

To know that we have it in us and we can,

Is an unchanging and unending happiness!

 

 

Fight to survive and fight to stand,

Is what nature seems to claim!

This manly pursuit of conquering nature,

Is alone to be blamed!

 

 

Hey Nature! Do not be inanimate , nor cruel or harsh,

Hey Man! Control your actions and stop your greed !

We are not to co-operate alone, nor singly to compete,

A balance between both of these is what man and nature need!

 

 

Transform one and everything,

What we do and the way we do it!

In addition, forget not the golden mean,

That is to competitively co-operate  and co-operatively compete!

 

 

Make up to excel in life

With constancy of purpose and reality!

Apply all the resources of the Mother Nature,

To celebrate the supreme creativity!

 

 

Use up all the gifts of nature ,

Not more, or less and breed!

And enjoy sound, vision, smell taste, touch and intuition,

With a strong urge to give up thy greed!

 

 

To be happy and healthy,

A mechanism of balance  is an urgent need!

For each one of us , is to another,

As a seed to a plant and a plant to a seed!

 

 

To strike a balance between dilemmas,

Set a goal and share it all,

End all evils, hatred and dogmas,

And stay to it , for  man is man and not a football!

 

 

Stop that ignorance

And take to Knowledge

Why be put upon by life

When life’s milestones are pledged!

 

 

Action based knowledge and knowledge based action

With a fair exhibition of courage and love

A new blend of spirit , ethics and emotions

All these are the arrows and life a bow!

 

 

We are an archer,

With a talented archery,

To oppose all odds and

To bury all slavery!

 

Oceans of uncertainties , mountains of challenges,

Deep dark nights and the absent motions

Amidst prisons of limitations and piles of wastages

Don’t lose hope nor visions!

 

 

Explore life in all its vigour,

Realize its emotional beauty,

Apply all intelligent visions,

Perform to its best , every duty!

 

 

Realizing your self

Can make you happy, and happy as you can,

Respect for yourself and

Respect for others will never wan!

 

 

This happiness alone can liberate you,

From sorrows , temptations and all harms,

This happiness alone can equilibrate,

The balance that life wants!

 

The principle that generates,operates and destroys,

Both Nature & Man, let’s  lend it a name!

‘GOD’ – an acronym for the same!

 

 

And now, that we know it,

By knowledge experienced,

We know it that, in Nature and in Man and in each one of us

The same principle within is carried!

 

 

Now , let us fill all our conscience

Not to deviate from this perfect science,

For all in all , we are the same

Then why to wither away in hatred and shame?

 

 

Realize your voices in common, that

Life is to be cherished and lived for hundred years;

Delivering all your performances and be ready, in all its glory,

For Death, – the biggest change to happen!

Pursue Excellence Step by Step!

by Praveen M Joshi

 

 

 

For the goal of being the best,

Approach everything step by step;

Every moment being a trial and test

Let's do everything step by step!

 

 

 

 

Meeting one goal leads to another,

In the pursuit of goals do not falter;

Reasonability in the goals helps us travel further,

Achieving this and then that by working both harder and smarter!

 

 

 

Begin with the end in mind,

Visualize where we want to be;

And focus on getting there,

Staying confident, that  we ought to be!

 

 

 

 

On completing the current one,

Concentrate on the next step;

Don't be afraid to ask for the direction,

Ask! Do not wait to get help!

 

 

 

 

The steps we follow lead us to completion,

But the steps themselves are never complete;

It is for us to decide,

Which steps to join in and which ones to leave behind!

 

   

 

 

To the steps we have reached,

We have a picture evolved from the earlier;

The picture that can be evolved further into a more complete form,

Completion of the form is what we seek and this is the reason why we dare!

 

 

 

This pursuit of completion demands excellence,

Excellence in putting in The Entirety that we are;

So put in ourselves Entirely in what we do,

To self-actualize our completeness that we are!

 

 

 

 

Life is Our Pursuit of Excellence,

Excellence in Knowing and applying the inherent completeness within;

It is because we are Entirely Complete that we can,

Excel in everything we do and strive to be!

 

   

   

 

The pursuit of excellence has no end,

And is never incomplete,

Let us put in our entirety Step by Step;

For living to the fullest and staying Complete!
