The ‘I’ within Me

Must read

Rajendra Ojha (Nayan)

Break the egg of this striking universe and see,
You will meet the ‘I’ mate
I’m like a bird in this striking universe
Yes, I’m a minor toddler in this vast marine of the universe;
Who oneself is a sole universe.

This heart is a solar system,
Where the speed of imagination moves much faster than light
But waits for a moment, pal,
Consciousness surrounds me like the atmosphere here
To destroy the radiation of external ‘I’;
And save the ‘I’ that is inside me.
In each movement I hit a big bang inside my mind,
Look at that ‘big bang’, dear friend!
You will find all natures of celestial beings within you,
Breathing as the inner ‘I’.

Jealousy is set as a black hole within me,
For this ‘I’ within me is unhappy to be a part of this universe.
Sorry for me; my ‘self’ has never been friendly with ‘I’.

Sometime I think,
Would death matter if ‘hope’ and all kinds of ‘wishes’ were absent?
This ‘Time’ is really weird!
Perhaps ‘Time’ wouldn’t be treasurable –
If I didn’t have the ‘I’ within me.
