Meri Kahani(The End)


When you see, when you feel, when you hear, when you smell, when you taste, in all dimensions at once;And yet, when each is seen, felt, heard,smelt, and tasted as independently and distinctly as if it stood all alone at its best, it is you-at your best, in your highest form.Senses heightened.Secure.In control.Focussed.
But you let go. let the moment pass.
Miss the play of divinity-on you. Around you. By you.
Play Goddess.
As pure as the unborn child.
But don't accept the pedestal.
For you shall be immortalized.And your purpose defeated.
Evolve.Absorb.Give out.Merge.Emerge.Drench thy soul.Get overwhelmed.Let emotions flow.
That's a life of paradoxes.
Yet again, I end up, contradicting my own self...!!

"I died to live. You live to die."
And that by far is the biggest contradiction to the omnipotent truth.

Yes, you are oxymoronically paradoxical.
Only that, I am more so.
And the ego battle is not yet over!
