Profoundly Alone

Blessed with keenness

of attention, life happened

in abundance. Smallest happenings

were immense, as after all

an Atom could be a Cosmos.

All a game of perception.

As my many lives unfolded,

life pitched up to be a torrent.

Rich and Vivid but no Small or Big.

All was thrown at me.

Flowers and Filth.

Offered sweetest of Love and Devotion

and vilest of treachery and abuse.

Regarded by the Reputed and

Rubbished by the Rascals.

All that can be and cannot be

has been mine but untouched am I.

Alone, as even Shiva has

abandoned me from

being a companion

As even He has become

'One with Me to leave me

Profoundly Alone.

-Sadhguru-
