bhagavad gita?

bhagavad gita?

A Poem by h d e rushin
"

sorry

"

 

 

 

When the poet no longer loves

conceal all adjectives in the breast pocket

of the prince,

let the Vishnu persuade him

to do his duty

and try to impress.

(?)

Does sitting in a corn field

or on the bank of an old river,

or by the side of a road where the

cars speed by, invite

the augur to predict ones future

from the list of omens?

There may, in fact, be omens,

but no one devoted enough to

squire, in romance,

the bearer of blood.

So go ahead.

Predict the atticism of old days, the

rich garments of a middleaged man,

or a wheel, a flange,

projecting edge, a piece of

cedar wood, the twilled

fuel for a flame

or the spanning straight line

that light connects to fluid.

Yeah, that's it.

Decode women.

Suggest staff and stadium.

Gold can be arranged in

layers, you know,

not stacked as wood

for the fire starters.

 

Sympathetic me;

born involving three lines.

 

   1.the morrow, love of sugar balls.

   2.the senary six chambers women pass thru.

   3.the stripped pattern of tiger maple for the new

      desk that holds my silk and self.

   4.the hauteur shelf for my new hat.

   5. the kerchief for your damp ring.

   6. the hemp air, woven loosely with

       tired wrap, holding the disturbed tooth

       shells.

 

I want to be able to name

the things I desire, like

holymen name

Ecclesiasticus

as the only way

to wisdom.

But I am exhausted

and loveless, so

forgive me for

the bows tied too

tightly.

...
. i know the bhagavad gita very well ... the central message of the bhagavad gita ... is to do karma ... whatever seems like the best thing to do at a given point in time without obsessing over the consequences of actions ... english is my second language so i don't really know how this post connects with the bhagavad gita ... are you for that message or critical of it ? ... the critics of the bhagavad gita say that it's not possible to not have expectations once we initiate an action or karma ... however, experience-wise, this is not true for everyone ... even in the west ... some respect the journey more than the destination ...
