Happiness and Sorrow ( A poem from my book "Crazy Poetry for Offering" on amazon!)

 Favorable emotions

Are happiness

Unfavorable ones

Are sorrow

They are like two sides

Of the same coin

They come like

Days and nights

One after the other

You cannot stop it

It’s natural

For sorrow to come

After happiness

Happiness to come

After sorrow

In this dual world

Everything has equal

And opposite reactions

So happiness may bring sorrow

And sorrow may bring happiness

As they sow the seed

For the opposite to occur!

Both shall pass

And come again

Forever and ever

It’s same again

But there is another dimension

Which is called“Ananda”

Bliss or Ecstasy

If you hit that dimension

Somehow

You will be blissful forever

There is no opposite reaction of Ananda

The opposite of Ananda

Is Ananda Itself!

Ananda brings Ananda

The boundless bliss

Is Ananda!

There is chemical basis

To our happiness and sorrow

And for Ananda too

Chemicals are produced in brain

Happy hormones create happiness

Stress hormones create sorrow

Chemical like Anandamide

Secreted by our brain

Create bliss or Ananda!

Anandamide is just one

There are many cocktails

Available in brain itself!

Pineal gland produces ‘Somarasa’

The nectar of Bliss

Signified by crescent moon

On the head of Shiva

Moon is also called Soma

Rasa is the nectar

Pineal is activated

By Kundalini Yoga

By Grace of Guru!

So, O! Humans!

Delve into the nectar blissful

And be joyful

And be fulfilled

Ever and ever blissful

“Anandoaham” “Anandoaham”!

I am Ananda!

I am Ananda!

 

Aum!
