lady

there was once a lady who had a big farm.she grew chillies on it.her brand of chillies were very famous and hence costly.everyone suspected she was doing something different.some hushes voices spoke of black magic.she was a queer lady.quiet.she kept to herself.she like her chocolate dark and bitter.she added a ton of sugar to her coffee,she liked it sweet.

the famine came.all seem to wither with a curse of an angry goddess.but her crops stood strong.the hushes of black magic became whispers.she harvested the chillies.they sold at unbelievable prices.the rich and wealthy brought it.and they used it and then spat it out.the chillies were all sweet.they took it to her and asked "what injustice is this?? the chillies are sweet.you cheated us.we want our money back".she gave their money back.she was hurt and angry.she vowed never to farm again.she died soon.since then never a single chilli had grown in that town.

aham brahmasmi

that which Yajnavalkya sought away from home
that which Maitreyi wanted to know is
that which by seeking, all is known
is but the Self within

aham Brahmasmi

the world resolves into my senses
the senses resolve in the mind
the mind resolves in the "I"
and the "I" resolves in the Self

what is left to be known?
once the Self is known
what is left to be seen?
when there is nothing left to see

the Self prevails when you destroy the veils
of duality caused by the absence of vidya
it is not an effect caused
it is that which is uncaused
beyond the ken of causality

That which is to be known solely through Atmavichara

i am the walrus
said lennon
i am a walrus too
said bono
i need to speak to the walrus
said the carpenter
then you speak to me
i am the only star here
the sun has scared the clouds
said ringo starr

the oil was as oily as it could be
the gunpowder was dry as dry can be
you could not see a cloud
they were standing in chernobyl
no birds were flying overhead
there was no bush to rest on

if five minister with five interpreters
speak about it for half a year
do you suppose asked semolina pilchard
that they could drink clear wine with aq kahn
i doubt it
and shed a drop of blood

oy africans come and walk with us
so said paul
a pleasant walk,a pleasant talk
along the briny pool
we can not do with more than five
to give a hand to each

the oldest african dint understand him
so never a word he said
but winked his eye
and shook his hand
meaning to say
he dint care

but four young elephants hurried up
all eager for the treat
their skins were brushed,their faces washed
their hats were big and clean
and this was odd, because, you know,
they hadn't any head

and the four elephants followed them
one had big ears
the other had big tusk
another had a big trunk
and the other had 13 wives

the walrus and the carpenter
talked for a hour or so,
and then they rested on a chair
conveniently rectilinear
and all the elephants stood
and waited in a row

the time has come, the walrus said
to talk of many things
of eggman and van and yellow mother custard
of crabalocker fishwife and pornographic priestess
and why the sea is boiling hot
and whether pigs wage war

but wait a bit,the elephants cried
before we have our chat
for some of us are out of depth
and we expect a house,on the rocks
no worry said the carpenter
they thanked him much for that

a loaf of bread the walrus said,
is what we chiefly need
pepper and oil besides
are very good indeed
now if you're ready,elephants
we can begin to feed and grow

but not on us the elephants cried
turning a little black and wet
after such promises,that would be
a dismal thing to do
the might are always fine, said the walrus
can you ever protect maitri?

it was so kind of you to come
and you are very small
the carpenter said nothing but
pour us another glass
i wish you were not quite so dumb
i've had to ask you twice

it seems a shame,the walrus said,
to play them such a trick,
after we've brought them out so far
and made them rot so quick
the carpenter said nothing but
the ice is just too thick

i weep for you,the walrus said
i deeply sympathize
with sobs and tears he sorted out
those of the largest size and depth
holding his laptop he showed him the wells
before his streaming eyes.

oi penguins,said the carpenter
you've had a pleasant meeting
so shall we all climb eiffel tower
but answer came there none
and this was scarcely odd, because
they'd invaded every one.

"we like the walrus best," said the watchmen, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor elephants".
"He ate more than the carpenter, though" said Tweedledee. "You see he held his laptop in front, so that the carpenter couldn't count how many he had taken: contrariwise." .
"that was mean!" said the watchman indignantly. "then I like the carpenter best-if he didn't consume so much as the walrus".
"but he drank as much as he could get," said Tweedledum.This was a puzzler. After a pause,watchman began, "well! They were both very unpleasant characters".. and then watchmen were shot
