Mission Immortality......not now again becoming.
I invite you
To the Universe
of this ‘Spiritual Giant’
the world has ever known.
If you think,
if ever GOD walked on this earth,
It was He and He alone.
The most silent and simplest
Of all Gods of World
His glory is Great
He is real and the rarest.
A true seeker can find HIM, yet.
Silently and surely
For, not in any
Doctrines nor in Dogmas,
nor in Scriptures or in Rituals,
he resides.
he resides.
Yes, but in TRUTH (Dhamma) alone.
He belongs to all,
And all belongs to Him.
He is with you here and everywhere.
In 623 B.C.
at Kapilavatthu in Lumbini,
a Crown Prince Siddhartha was born
to an aging King.
On a full moon day of May,
To accomplish a task, the wise sage say
Task to lead all living beings
From darkness to light
From unreality to reality
From death to immortality.
Unknown of this World external,
Twenty Nine years,
He lived in His palace internal.
One day,
On seeing an old, a sick and a dead man,
He resolved to renounce the World Eternal.
He detached Himself from
His Kingdom, His wife, and His son.
All He wished was to overcome the subjugation of time,
Never did He wished to escape the tyranny of time.
So, to fulfill His “MSSION IMMORTALITY”
Mission seeking:
The unborn and the unaging,
The undecaying and the undying,
The unsorrowing and the stainless,
Six years, He engaged in difficult to do.
Traveling from places to places,
Wandering in dark jungles like primeval sages.
‘BUDDHAHOOD’- His Mission and His Goal,
‘NIRVANA’- He wanted from within His soul.
With time,
HIS - Desire, Hatred, Fear and Anger was gone,
Gone with them were,
Jealousy, Revenge, Malice and Slander,
Along with all His Glamour’s,
He resigned from all His Illusions and Greed,
From His Ego and Vanity,
From His Fanaticism, Separation and Pride,
Siddhartha was reborn, He was transformed.
At thirty five,
Beneath a Bodhi Tree,
For the happiness of many,
For the benefit of humanity,
Siddhartha became Tathagata,
Tathagata! The Buddha.
Tathagata! The Awakened One.
Tathagata! The Enlightened One.
Yes! The Supreme One, The Only One.
Then He beckoned to suffering humanity,
To develop understanding and compassion,
In His first sermon as Saranath,
With the light of Wisdom shining in his heart,
He asked us to adopt the “MIDDLE PATH”.
‘What is middle path?’ one may ask,
Yes! The Noble Eightfold Path,
Path of Right View, of Right Thought;
Of Right Speech and Right Action;
Path of Right Livelihood and Right Effort;
Of Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration.
Following this “Eightfold Path,” He said,
One can attain,
The state of bliss,
And of enlightenment,
The state of not again becoming,
The joy of living in the Supreme.
Wish to follow t(HIS) path?
If He could, why can’t you?
For He is a son of a man, like you.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, followed Him once,
Along with ‘ Mathma’ an independent India was born.
Today, if you take a step forward,
Think a New Star is born in the sky,
Soon it would descent to our Earth,
May BUDDHA return to earth.
