When an ordinary man attains knowledge,
he is a sage,
When a sage attains understanding,
he is an ordinary man...
Never be too proud to ask for help..

Words..

A man sticking to a phrase
--gets lost..

Have a sip

I have scooped the valley's
pine winds for you -
Have a sip !

One Only

One moon
shows
in the every pool ;
In every pool
the one
moon..

What Is Zen..

Eat when hungry !
Sleep
when tired !

How You See

A piece of dust
in the eye :
Illusory flowers
dance wildly..

Gone

Emptyhanded come ,
emptyhanded go..!

A Punjabi Poem ( English Translation )

Somewhere At Least

Appetite is there
But there is no grain..

Wings are there
But there is no sky..

Land is there
But there is no seeds..

Body is there
But where is the stability..

Heart is there
But where is the response..

Soul is there
But where is the tranquility..

God Almighty
Give us rain
Fill up our granary
With grain..

God Most kind
Wings you has bestowed
Now teach your humans
The art of flying too..

God merciful
Earth you have created
Now pour in its lap
some seeds as well..

God Unfathomable
Bodies desperate wander
Do something
To lend solace..

God Wonderful
To hearts you have given
The depth of rivers
Let them flow too
Let them head for the seas..

God Indefinable
Why cant you make
Soul-mates walk
Side by side always..

O God Almighty
Hunger - Land
Body-Heart
Wings or Heavens
Grant us
The space to blossom
Somewhere at least..
