Jeevanpath ---001

Chapter-Ist

Braves with swords in hands on elephants,

Horses all-round with archers,

Charioteers with weapons,

Ahead marching were soldiers and sliders

I1I

Fearful and afraid of,

Everyone as if dead,

What shall come to-morrow ?

It made all lost and sad

I2I

 

Exists as bone of contention,

Though civilized we are,

People being butchered every day,

As if devils they are.

I3I

 

Fights everywhere

Again this is pride sitting atop,

False would move and shake,

Ruling from high-top

I4I

The unique scene seen

Blood thirsty was the army,

Moving with dust blowing

The frenzy was the army

(To nail a tooth came army !)

I5I

Sad, depressed, dejected,

Much Heart-broken was Arjun,

Found no way out,

Sat worried as if wounded by thorn

I6I

 

Own lives to-day
Shall be dead to-morrow,
His inner conflict,
Flinched & shook to the marrow
(His -Arjuna)
I7I
Love to owns, near & dear
Wish is alive there,
A weakness lies within
It is everywhere
I8I
What we believe,
Is mine & mine,
Work day and night,
Every jiffy we pine
I9I
With Pride, jealousy, greed
Obdurate we are ,
A traveler knows limitations,
Freed, when Journey over 
I10I

“Just for the human weakness

Faith, belief, Truth, Justice,

Good is at stake, now

Which side shall go justice”

I 11I

The war torn scene

Who wins ?  baffles all,

Confusion prevail,

Oh! loss be big or small ?

I12I

World is wriggling out,

Centuries &centuries gone

Gap exists in between truth & false.

Peace as if a cloth torn

I13I

Duryodhan, Dushashan warriors,

Powerful with their army,

Ashwathama, karna, Dronacharya,

Bhisma too were ready.

I14I

Arjun felt vexed & baffled

When seen ready this way,

Emotions overpower him

From self ,was he away

I15I

 

Arjun, stood with mouth a-gap,

Unable to bear with,

Mind vexed & confused,

False & truth Mixed with

I16I

When tied to them

Weakness bring their sway.

Man is torn to the toe

As if life gone away

I17I

Sleep goes away,

Troubles disturb him,

Unable to decide,

With lost vigor & vim

I18I

Krishna heard everything,

And secretly smiled,

This so happens,

When mind is boiled

I19I

Arjuna feeling shy of

Not prepared to fight with own

He  is ready to leave everything,

For family or whom he call own

20

So Surprising is the situation

Both army standing in the front

Any moment may witness the fight

Leaving men dead, alive or burnt

21

This is also the case here

Arjun is lost on two side

There is the fight within

or enemy standing just beside

22

Even if Arjuna run away from,

For he is merciful and has pity

Saintly life is acceptable to him

But for him ;who has sympathy

23

Suddenly Dratrashtra asked Sanjay

“What happened to Arjuna dear

I know ,he loves to all

His views are so clear”

24

Sanjay said with head down

“O king Take the initiative

Come out of love for son only

Or public too shall be reactive”

25

War is to deplored or avoided

It leaves none but kill

Living here is snatched before

Everything become too hot or too chill

26

He(King )asked ,”Sanjay

You tell what happened then,

Arjuna is in the field or left

Or his is broken the loving chain”

27

Now I see in the battle field ,o King

Krishna understood the nerve of situation

He is ,as it seems going to say something

Or let me wait and see ,what is his contribution”

A Word to All

 This is very heartening to say that a new and original poetic work is before You all.May be ,thousand questions or in the language of science ,at least 62000  ideas are generated in our mind every day ,We may hardly catch or retain hardly a few ,But curiosity demands the immediate attention and the answers ,The world is indebted to all from across the Globe whose contribution speak in one or the other way.As a student of Literature both Hindi and English,I tried to put such ideas from the Gita and believing what Wordsworth says,the poetry being the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings is more or less influences me and My work.

Furthermore there is always the fight within and fight outside,through which we lead our lives,through many ups and downs .This is also interesting that the moment we come closer to the reality and our thought take us to the extremes,we tend to understand life and start loving all,That is why even today the Indians feel and carry the spirit of love to all and world as a home where our sisters and brothers reside within.

Definitely ,the problems arise and they need our attention and furthermore running from them shall be more problematic,Hence we have to stand and find the ways for peaceful co-existence .So many questions will be answered through this work.

The poetic heart is more or less close to all and ever spread the message for the weal and welfare of the World,so such a approach is here.

I would like to thank Face Book and Google who have given me the space and also thank my wife for helping and assisting me in this work.

With best wishes
