WORLD OF THE TIMELESS


I was born of nonexistence; and in non existence I shall be
 

No birth; no death, no truth, no reality


All these are, but a mere  play of words


A network of theories, and a thicket of opinions


For timeless is the world, as I entangle in sansara


Timeless it is; when I flap the wings of nirvana


With tied up wings, flying across the open skies  


Can it ever be; clever thought may wonder?


But is it not the cleverness of thought and memory that tie you up?

                                                             
In the world of the timeless


Even the wingless bird shall soar to the heavens!


In the world of the timeless


Is not sansara, the same as nirvana?


In the world of the timeless


Is not love the ultimate emperor?


Of blissful heart of mine 


Let me entangle in this timeless world of love !

  1. Human beings are one dimensional thinkers.... they are single minded simplex creatures. They can take only one perspective at a time ... if one were to imagine reality as a two dimensional plane our thought process is a one dimensional point along a single line (either x axis or Y axis) .. we can only take one value at one point in time. The logic of language ensures that we view reality as single point of view.. So using the same metaphor if samsara lies along the X axis, nirvana lies along the Y axis. But reality as we said is too complex for our one dimesional thought.. the truth in this example is a point on the plane of reality where the coordinates of X ( sansara) and the coordinates of Y (Nirvana) meet. So as we see here, one has to transcend the unimodal thought of one dimensional thinking to understand the complex nature of the two dimensional plane of reality. However beyond metaphors reality is too complex than two dimensions.. there are an infinity of view points and multiple dimensions; so one has to transcend the singleminded egocentic thinking to attempt to comprehend the ultimate reality .... from single minded simplex thinkers we have to rise to multiplex thinkers capable of simultaneousley taking multiple perspectives ...once one is able to do that( even partially) one can see why samsara and nirvana refer to the same state of reality
