#sawan_2024  White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-260
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

When love is pure and unalloyed 
When love is not for selfish interests
When love is for the loved one 
For a cause divine, an intention sublime 
It surpasses all hurdles and adds 
Grace and new vigour to life 

When prayer is from the heart 
When prayer is not for your own sake 
When prayer is true and genuine 
When prayer is for a noble cause 
It is heard and answered 
It has been in all ages 
In all conditions, in all circumstances 

When devotion 
Blankets your whole being 
Body, mind and surroundings 
When surrender is complete 
God appears in one or more guise 
Completes you, fulfils you 
It has been in all cases, in all times 

Reduce yourself to zero 
Be a child at heart 
Mother Divine will take care of you 
The way your mother takes care of you.
Do not doubt 
In the power of love, prayer, 
Devotion  and surrender 
Each of these is complete 
Can take you wherever you like 
It has happened, still happening
Will happen again and again

Only we are to assess ourselves 
Are our love, prayers, 
devotion and surrender complete 
Genuinely from the chore of the heart 
Or only lip service

#love_shayari  White A LOOK AT LIFE-16
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

The man on the street
I look at him
He looks at me
The eyes meet the eyes
But never the heart

l barely think about the man,
seemingly insignificant
and completely lost in his own world
which is so different
from that of ours

He seems to have discarded
the values of the larger society,
so dear to each and every one
and has his own likes and dislikes
that has nothing to do with 
the whims and caprices of modern man

I am in a cell.
What I learned over the years
and the way I was groomed
prohibits me to treat the man as a man,
the values I inculcated
and Lovingly nurtured
come in the way

When I retire
from my ignoble strife
with very little life in me,
my tired eyes again meet his,
lively and fresh.
I laugh at him,
he laughs with me,
I do not know
whose laugh is true and genuine

        I WILL BE A SOLDIER

Life is a hero's worship, 
not a coward's adventure.
Blessed are few 
who live without regrets, 
die a death fighting till the last breath.
A life dedicated to the country,
a death, a hero's dream,
what more one needs?

If you live for yourself, 
for your friends and family, 
of what use that life even it is for hundred years, as it is not for others, 
their happiness and sorrow. 
The pleasure of living he knows, 
who lives for others, 
guards the frontier and let his countrymen live without fear.

A soldier is a fighter, 
be it peace and war,
natural calamity or internal exigency,
he remains true to his character,
gives each and every drop of his blood for the sake of his nation, his love and passion

I salute you my brother!
for your love, concern  and commitment to the nation, your only obsession
and hope if there is any second birth,
like you I will be a soldier, 
work for the building of the nation and jealously guard the frontier.

      I AM FOR YOU MY MOTHER
 

As and when I come,
let me come as the son of the soil,
to feel you, feel your love, to guard your frontier,
to live and die for you my mother 

I have never thought of a life for me.
My life is completely blanketed by you.
I have my moments with my wife, kids and family.
But it is you who flow in my blood and 
protecting your boundary is my love and concern

Life is fun and there is no better way to play
the game than being a soldier 
where you play for your country with millions looking at you as their lone saviour.

A soldier knows what the life of a soldier means  , how it feels to be inside the enemy's camp,
how one works in adverse circumstances, 
in minus forty degree temperature  
with love, commitment and pleasure.

That is the life, love and fancy of a soldier,
a life amidst gunshots and warfare, 
a complete life and complete death,  
a real hero in life and death 
with which nothing can compare

#sawan_2024  White A LOOK AT LIFE - 43
BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Infinite is the mind and intellect
that conceive the idea of Infinity
Infinite is our love and passion to be one with it. From infinity we have come,
in infinity, we will merge

Life is a journey from full to full,
from Infinity to Infinity.
Whatever exists, existed earlier, will exist in future, nothing can be created out of nothing, nothing can be annihilated without giving rise to something, neither there is any beginning nor end, only transformation from one form to other.

Expansion and contraction of 
the cosmic universe is the only reality,
a drop of water in the ocean and ocean in a drop of water, all the same.

Out of ignorance, we come under the spell of cosmic illusion, forget our real nature,
Truth, Bliss and Absolute,
identify ourselves with the body, its pleasure and pain and land us in a pool of sorrow
again and again.

We are neither the body nor mind and intellect.
We are not different but one, the manifestation of Infinity having no birth and death, 
only transformation from one form to the other
with the cosmic consciousness remaining unaffected by the change of form and colour

#sad_shayari  White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-90
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

A woman I am,
a daughter, a sister, a friend,
a wife and beloved.
In all my roles
I complement and fulfil the men in my life.
I make them full and complete.
On my love and sacrifice, they stand,
on my feet, they walk  the thorny path of life 
but look at the world through a pair of jaundiced eyes.

Without me, they are just aimless ships
sailing in the boisterous sea.
I am the able navigator who bring them safely ashore,  but they forget it the moment  they come back to their comfort zone.

I am the life in them,
that carries them forward to their destination.
It is the woman behind every man,
her unconditional love and motivation
that precisely define a man, his success and failure, but never his attitudes and behaviours and the way they look at woman.

I have been with you like your shadow
living and enduring your moments of joy and despair,  happiness and sorrow,
never thinking for a moment
i have a life of my own.

Am i wrong?
if i ask for a bit of your love,
affection, reciprocation and concern?
Is it not your duty to respect me, my dignity
to fulfil my wishes and priority,
to be with me as and when i need
and give me enough breathing space
to live life as i wish?
I relish  and withstand your occasional love, its outburst, but to be my man you are to find the woman in you and change the way you look at me and the world around.
