You’re a creature of belonging, a child of humanity and of the universe. You’re here, and you belong: to everything and to eternity.

During the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE, Siddhartha Gautama of Shakya, who later became known as the Buddha, was born in modern-day Nepal near the Indian border. While there are several mythical stories surrounding his conception and birth, the basic facts of his life are generally agreed upon. Born into a wealthy royal family, the Buddha was born and raised in worldly luxury. Despite his father’s attempts to shield him from the ugliness of life, one day he ventured out beyond the castle walls and encountered three aspects of life: the old, the sick and the dead. Each of these experiences troubled him and made him question the meaning and transience of life and its pleasures.

After this, he encountered an ascetic who, by choice, lived a life renouncing the pleasures of the world. Even while he was completely deprived of life’s comforts, his eyes shined with contentment. These shocking experiences moved Buddha to renounce his comfortable lifestyle in search of greater meaning in life. It was during his time practicing extreme forms of self-denial that Buddha discovered the “Middle Path” of moderation — an idea that closely resembles Aristotle’s “Golden Mean.”

During his life, he had experienced intensive pleasure and extreme deprivation but he found that neither extreme brought one to true understanding. He then practiced meditation through deep concentration

कभी ग़ीला कभी नीला
कभी सूखा तो कभी सफ़ेद ,
कभी नरम सर्द सा कभी सूरज सा तेज़
कभी साहस का टूटना तो कभी आशा का चरम
कभी सुन्दर फ़लसफ़ा तो कभी तेरे करम ….

अब तुझे क्या कहु ऐ हयात (life) तू कभी खुशीई (sunshine)

तो कभी बसस्स एक भरम ।।

ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि तन्नो रुद्र: प्रचोदयात।

आधा हिस्सा सदा उजाला, आधा रहता काला ।
इस रहस्य को समझ न पाता भ्रमवश दुनिया वाला ।
अपना उजला भाग धरा को क्रमशः दिखलाता हूँ ।
एक्कम दूज तीज से बढ़ता पूनम तक जाता हूँ ।

फिर पूनम के बाद प्रकाशित हिस्सा घटता जाता ।
पन्द्रहवाँ दिन आते-आते पूर्ण लुप्त हो जाता ।
दिखलाई मैं भले पड़ूँ ना यात्रा हरदम जारी ।
पूनम हो या रात अमावस चलना ही लाचारी ।

चलता रहता आसमान में नहीं दूसरा घर है ।
फ़िक्र नहीं जादू-टोने की सर्दी का, बस, डर है ।
दे दे पूनम की ही साइज का कुर्ता सिलवा कर ।
आएगा हर रोज़ बदन में इसकी मत चिन्ता कर।

अब तो सर्दी से भी ज़्यादा एक समस्या भारी ।
जिसने मेरी इतने दिन की इज़्ज़त सभी उतारी ।
कभी अपोलो मुझको रौंदा लूना कभी सताता ।
मेरी कँचन-सी काया को मिट्टी का बतलाता ।

मुझे महसूस करना होगा ...

शोर सा सुनाई नही पड़ता ।

मैं जगनुओ का यार हुं

अंधेरे में दिखाई नही पड़ता ।।
