I wish i were a crow...black n dirty,No one would have looked at me,
No one would have captured me,
No one would have imposed on me,
No one would have possessed me,
I cud fly, fly n fly to reach the peak,
I cud touch the flowing streams with my beak,
I cud sing my own melodies in the raucous tone,
I cud flow with the air, for just my peace alone,
I cud be with myself always.....
I cud have chosen my own ways....
I just wish I were free........
Gliding in the nature with glee,
Free from all the chains binding me,
Chains of attachment,
Chains of impositions,
Chains of expectations,
Chains of boundations,
Chains of restrictions,
Chains of relations,
I feel suffocated....I wanna be free....
What do I do, I wanna flee........
I have to free myself,
Bruising the ‘I’ that’s a curse,
To get dissolved in the milk of love,
To be one with the universe!
At last, where do I go?
It’s me, who carries this rigid shell,
It’s high time, have to break it,
If I wanna be all well!!
What do I do, I wanna flee........
Bruising the ‘I’ that’s a curse,
To get dissolved in the milk of love,
To be one with the universe!
At last, where do I go?
It’s me, who carries this rigid shell,
It’s high time, have to break it,
If I wanna be all well!!

That's a long one. Freedom. :) I could never imagine a crow as a symbol for it. The pesky pegions just suit for it too well. But, I must say, your logic is more apt. If you are a rather low-profile, your freedom is not a function of the captivity resolved at the behest of the august presence of some celebrety. The words are good. Simple. Needs more rhyme. Like the 'I cud fly, fly n fly to reach the peak' could have sounded more sonorous with 'I cud fly, fly n fly, to reach the peak, in the world so high'. :) Of course, I am not entitled to suggest your freedom, per se.
but what is it in all freedom..or rather all aloofness...shud also be bound with somethings.....like attachment and detatchment at will and as required....what say..?
Freedom here is the freedom from ego - the feeling of 'I'. Not to do what you feel like doing is freedom.
but without the "I", how would one attach with someone....in life..?
doesnt it become a double edged sword..?
The truth is we identify ourself with this 'I'.. never look beyond it.
Why would one need to attach with someone? There isn't any need. If you love someone, you see GOD in him/her because love makes you divine.
Freedom from 'I' doesn't mean one goes aloof... not interacting with anyone.. not loving anyone..
Its more about associating oneself with that higher power, where this 'I' and 'You' gets dissolved.
thats wht...if uve given urself to the highest power....how do u devote urself to another being...? or is there somethun i m missing..?
i think u got to attach and detatch at will and as required .. i mean as the call of the hour....as someone said..."the wall never fails and weeps...but neither does it feel anything..or love."...or may be do ur duty at every instant..then the question is..(lakh take ka sawaal)..how does one know what one ought to do in a situation...even krishna said love is higher than knowledge/gyan .. or rather jyana is incomplete without love...
You are right my dear friend... one needs to get attached and detached as required... when you are in constant connection with the source within, you know very well what is to be done.
You get attached but with an awareness that u will have to get detached some time later.
Doubts and questions are a part of the upper surface of the being which is ignorant. Living within and listening to the real inside is the key.
"thats wht...if uve given urself to the highest power....how do u devote urself to another being...? or is there somethun i m missing..? "
Who is the other being? Is he/she not god? Is it really true that if you devote yourself to someone, it is different than devoting yourself to God?
The essence lies in being aware that 'I' and 'You' are none other than God. If this awareness is there, one would enjoy getting attached, getting detached, crying, smiling. It helps the real inner being to spread its sheen in everything that one does.
why have u stopped posting these days...?
