POETIC REFLECTIONS DURING THE 2007 HOLIDAY SEASON
Christmas Eve
Dr. Tushar K. Ray

Behold our all-loving silent Mother Earth
At the dawn of this brilliant Xmas Eve
Awakened in Christ consciousness
In the playful heart of all young ones
Bubbling out of their youthful soul
With a vision of looming Santa Claus
In spontaneous endless joy!
From the blissful boundless sky
Way up high!
Flowing down ceaselessly across!

December 24
Christmas Day
The legendary Santa lives in all parent’s heart
Taking care of children since they are born
And in the image of Santa as epithet of love
Kids get their pet toys on each Christmas season
So people breathe love on every Christmas time
Since the thought of giving saturates the air
And no matter how closed a heart could have been
Gets unlocked by love by its miraculous care
Christmas arrived again with a spirit of giving
In all valley homes amid adorning trees
Selected fondly by the parent-kids alike
To renew their fun during this Year-end game
Selfless love as essence of man dwells in each heart
Where parent-child-duet is the traditional mold
While Jesus in the cross revealed love as his end Reality
Being a part of this totality we must do our own part

On New Year Eve
Hey, what’s so new about the upcoming New Year?
Only returning of the same seasons over again
One after another until another New Year
Thus run the cycles of seasons forever
Renewing everything in Nature
Replacing the old patterns with the new ones
Creating beauty and diversity all at once
And that is the lesson Nature wants us to learn
Nature’s beauty rests in the unity in diversity
Where diversity is the noticeable key
Making new life, new twigs and new flowers
From time immemorial, year after year
Looking closely similar but hardly ever identical
Like us, the humanity, everyone is different
Even though we are outwardly similar
But that is the key to the beauty in Nature!
Our aim in this yearend should be to travel within
To know own true Self in the Years ahead
While realizing inward those outer natures around
And find at last our own common ground
That doesn’t change ever through out our life
And that is our mystical eternal Self, indeed
Knowing this man becomes fearless ever since
So realization of self should be our motto in this eve

On New Year’s Resolution
It is pointless to wait for a brand-new year
To discipline own unruly mind if that’s ones goal
Since habit mind perpetuates by its own odd nature
So deferring for another time just defeats a soul
A New Year opens up many newer possibilities
To avail such things one must be mentally ready
By removing wrong thoughts coming on the way
Since bad habits act often by limiting own abilities
One must be aware of the power of the soul
That is transcendental and deathless by nature
Knowing this one becomes fearless in action
And pursue things steadily until reaching the goal
So New Year resolution must be to know oneself
Then all else will be solved along the process
That involves dedicated yoga to steady own mind
And clarify it carefully for knowing Spirit Self
Permanent happiness can be earned only this way
Anything short of that would bring transient fun
So the duty of a human is to know his Spirit Self
Lifting oneself above the earthly pleasure and pain
