VISHADA YOGA--

“In this multi colored world of different shades
what do I do?
The ‘Right path’ at times seems tainted with the ‘wrong’
And ‘wrong’ tainted with ‘right’
As I wade through multifarious emotions of anger, hatred
Jealousy, individual ends
Buffeted as ever
As friends turn foes
If ever there is a fleeing glimpse of joy
Where shall I turn?
What shall I do?
No light in sight”

Man seeks divinity
In times of adversity
Adversity is an opportunity
To connect to the Divine
Arjuna’s dejection
Provided him a connection
To the Divine

(vishada yoga- the first chapter in Bhagavad Geeta)

The Yoga of Confusion! Where confusion is followed by clarity.

The one truth in many verses and ways
To say not to seek without
But ever look within
And not just find
But be with the Divine.
