THE NUANCE: A VERSE OF QUESTIONS TOWARD IMMORTALITY

by N P SAMAL

                                           

                     CANTO ONE

LIFE AND DEATH

 

We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is miracle and magic.

                                                                                                                       -- Edward Merrill Root

 

 

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

                                  -- Albert Einstein 

 

 

(Life which is short and indefinite and subjected to death is meaningless. The meaningful life is immortal life. Earth which has been born of the universe cannot be an alien planet. The universe which has in its lap been rearing the living Earth-- from microbes to mammals to present sapiens-- is an invisible life form and has been deathless since its creation. The mundane life can be blended with the cosmic life to create a new immortal life form. Further, if hydra, jellyfish and other certain creatures are long-lived and immortal, human beings are capable of reinventing themselves and becoming immortal.)

 

 

 

What if questioned what's the objective of Life?

Will we than Death supply one, with belief?

How's Life and Death related to our living?

Doesn't living differ inversely from dying?

How's living to what's fated an aversion?

Have Life and living unrelated functions?

Are we not all how we are meant by living?

A savant or fool, a saint or crook, or king?

What does one's Life by living mean to the person?

What does it mean to live if Death is certain?    (5)

Were we e'er anything ere we were born?

Will we after our Death remain e'er one?

Is living, then, for Life or Life for living?

What's worth for us if we to die are growing?

Is living meant then for the sake of others?

For past, for future, or for universe?

Can living e'er transcend the force of Death?

Isn't it our mortal Body we are bound with?

Are bound not we with limbs and head and torso?

With pleasure, pain, desires, wants, id and ego?   (10)

Are we not each of our own organs, senses?

From bones, tissues, blood to consciousness?

With hunger, thirst, aren't we of own essence?

And indivisible, absolute existence?

Why then do we exist short, like a spark?

For once-- from naught to naught, from dark to dark?

Can living of a spark be worthy of self?

What's mine? What's yours? Me, you, or power or pelf?

What's Life, then, Death in tow and what's our living?

Why birthed are we then if destined to dying?   (15)



What was the need of Life, at all, and why?

How's Life on Earth as Cosmos dead does lie?

Is Life a form of Death or Death of Life?

Isn’t it a nuance? Isn’t there A Fact sunk deep?

Are Earth and Cosmos one or different?

If one, is’t a nothingness, or existent?

If existent, don’t Life and Death have Oneness?

Isn’t Cosmos Live beneath the Nuanced Nothingness?

Can Earth with Life be in Cosmic womb of Death?

Can a child grow sans mother's blood and breath?   (20)

Can Life in a dead mother's womb be born?

Can a child sans its mother e'er be grown?

Can it survive sans nourishment and care?

Isn't sacrosanct for growth the act of the mother?

Doesn't sense that dead is Cosmos sound nonsense?

Should she be dead cause of our ignorance?

Isn't Earth in the feeding belly of Cosmos placed?

Doesn't Earth with Life in a Cosmic form exist?

Isn't Life on Earth the Cosmic Life's existence?

Isn't Cosmos live indeed, dead in appearance?    (25)

How'll a child be live-birthed by the dead mother?

How'll Cosmos to Earth be else than her progenitor?

Can creatures be antipodes of their creator?

Can Life be created in a non-living Ether?

Could Earth have grown had dead been Cosmic Mother?

Can Earth sans her nurture at all endure?

Hasn't Earth been born in her nurturing womb?

Does she not nurture Earth, each organism?

Does she not nurse them all, nourish and sustain?

Don't all for her respire, bloom, breed, feel, function?    (30)



Has she not held all in the Lap of her Nature?

Does she not tend their Life being Creation's mother?

Hasn't Life been growing for four billion years?

Haven't microbes grown to present Human orders?

Isn't Cosmos full of orders, acts, activities?

Does she not grow, produce, behave like Life does?

Is she not quite alive, though in abstraction?

Is hidden not Truth in thicks of our delusion?

Isn't perfect she as being a living system?

Hasn't she since Birth been on Death-less momentum?   (35)

Isn't Life, like Cosmos, a momentum on Earth?

Why's Life then limited to Death and Birth?

Can't Life on Earth be on Death-less momentum?

Can't it be free from Birth-and-Death continuum?

What's Life if brief and Death inevitable?

How can Life be live-able if it's die-able?

Must Life be Life with Birth and Death in cycle?

Must Life exit and enter, through recycle?

How's Life's existence charactered on Earth?

What characters exist bet'n Death and Birth?    (40)

How's Life of Earth with Life of a species drawn?

How's billion-plus-years' Life put with short lifespan?

How's Life on long-and-short arrangements drafted?

Can't e'er no-dawn-no-dusk Life be constructed?

Are Birth and Death to Life elemental?

Are they for Life and Living pivotal?

Howe'er do they decide a Life and Livin’?

What's their employment with a Life, in-between?

What are the two to each other in relation?

Howe'er do they act in coordination?    (45)

 

 

Do they decide if long or short a Life'll be?

Do they observe a Life's advance, atrophy?

Why to a Life is Death slow, swift to another?

Does Death to Life's, or Birth's, vocation answer?

How's Life, in order, kept bet'n two Extremes?

Why's Life accompanied by these two Memes?

Is Life with Birth and Death essence of Nature?

Is't for Cosmos a necessary order?

Is Birth and Death integral part of Life?

Can't Life be conceived without this leitmotif?   (50)

Is Life sans Birth and Death at all not possible?

Must we say 'No' because Truth is invisible?

Is Life's design not a Creational Nuance?

Isn't there A Fact concealed in our ignorance?

Should ignorance encrust a Fact with fiction?

Should Core of Truth be in crust of illusion?

Doesn't Life with Birth and Death appear illusive?

Haven't we against the illusion e'er been passive?

Mustn't we to make Life Death-less be Active?

Mustn't we bring out of fiction Fact of Life?    (55)

Can't Life like Cosmos be Death-less, Continuous?

Can't Life's embodiment be that of Cosmos?

Must Life just be a mortal embodiment?

Must Life's embodiment be for a moment?

What sense does Life have Body being momentary?

Mustn't Body travel a timeless trajectory?

Can't Life with Body timeless be existent?

Must Life, with Birth and Death, be ever transient?

Must Life just mean to be born, grow and die?

Which way have we got it to justify?    (60)

 

 

Does Life with Death a meaning signify?

What does it mean? Whom does it mean? And why?

What meaning does a Life have for the liver?

What'll a spark to the Unlighted Ever matter?

What can a speck mean, yond a jiff of light?

Doesn't it from dark, fore'er to dark, mean naught?

Can meaning be how a sparkle looks, does glow?

What's meaning-- of a maple, a cow, a crow?

What meanings do the brainless understand?

What either Humans do, with Brain that stand?    (65)

Isn't it with Birth and Death same beasts are Humans?

Aren't we same as insects, birds, pests and plants?

Should Life be meant by how one's growing and living?

Should Humans for one living give one meaning?

Are there as diverse meanings as there're livings?

Are diverse master's, servant's, pauper's, king's?

Does ever Life to one have meaning to own?

Can it be all-- to work, to eat, to fun?

Is't, yet, infantage, parentage, old-age?

Can it be to extend one's root with lineage?    (70)

Can meanings be added to Life by toppings?

Can they be clothings, sightseeings, fancy livings?

Isn't Life of us sunk in hallucination?

Do we not mean our Life by living fashion?

Can Life have meaning of our quirky existence?

Do a thousand meanings have any essence?

Isn't Life now a dream amidst the sleep at night?

Or else, a sleep-break by a bark or bite?

Does dream, or wake-up, have to us a meaning?

Does any soul recognize our awakening?     (75)

 


Do we not rise from dark, fall back into dark?

Isn't into nothingness absorbed that spark?

Isn't nothingness our mortal living of Life?

Don't we all live with our unlearned belief?

Don't we believe our Death is ultimate?

How'll then our livings be legitimate?

What worth do livings have when Life is mortal?

Can Life be worthy if living ain't Eternal?

Isn't Life in the backyard of Death a mockery?

Why then do we of Death live customary?    (80)

Must we escape from Life in name of custom?

Mustn't we prove Death can't be Life's ultimatum?

Don't we have Brain to alter the ultimate?

Can't we to do in Death a Weapon create?

Doesn't Death prevail 'cause we believe we'll die?

Isn't our belief in Death's Death necessary?

Isn't 'necessity mother of invention'?

Can't we invent 'gainst Death a champion weapon?

Don't we deceive our Life agreeing with Death?

Can't truly we remove the Megalith?     (85)

Haven't organisms found 'Fountain of Youth'?

Haven't they defied the law of aging, Death?

Can't we like hydra, jellyfish...be immortal?

Must some organisms of the rest be untypical?

How's Birth and Death of an organism chosen?

How's it destined with its Life in connection?

How's living of the organism selected?

By whom are Birth, Death, Life, Living connected?

Are they not diverse for diverse organisms?

Who organizes, directs diverse systems?     (90)

 

 

How's on a living Birth-Life-Death decreed?

Are livings forced, prescribed, ascribed, or by own deed?

Aren't livings subject to breeds, spans, homes, systems?

How're livings handed out to organisms?

How's Human Life with a non-Human's likened?

How's Human Death from th’others’ different?

Why's Human Living different from the rest?

Don't Humans live of what's NOT by Life in quest? 

Hasn't Human quest for living transposed with Times?

With change in climates, callings, crafts, regimes?     (95)

From foragers to farmers to moderners?

Hasn't Life been same through many a living course?

Aren't livings strange, Life being same Birth and Death?

How's Life one's Birth and Death connected with?

How's Birth and Death evented Life in re?

How's Life by living given its nature, genre?

Why're Human livings to th’ others' contradicted?

How's Life begot, how's it to Death subjected?

Is Death a reason of Life or its cause?

If cause, this Life or one formerly goes?     (100)

If reason of this Life, how's Life then judged?

How's Life then leveled, lengthened or abridged?

Do short and long Lives both die for same purpose?

Are there things as rebirth, hell, heaven, others?

What's the equation between Deaths and Lives?

How's purpose made when one dies, or one lives?

Must Life begin with Birth and end with Death?

What does Life bring and what does Life bequeath?

Wherefrom does Life come, whither does Life go?

Does Life with Death move cyclic, to and fro?     (105)

 

 

Does Life with cycles of Birth and Death continue?

Need Life be cyclical, of old and new?

Where does a cycle start, where does it end?

How's its growth with another cycle's linked?

What happens when a cycle ends its course?

Does Life when ends its course return to its source?

Must Life return; then grow, decay and die?

Why does it grow, regrow...? How's its inlay?

How does the cycle work in the following Bodies?

How does one begin when another dies?     (110)

Can't Life be other than sequential cycles?

Must Life exist through Bodies' rises, falls?

Must Body be a link for Life's existence?

Must links be knocked down, stripped of permanence?

Must Bodies be mortal links, in the cyclic chain?

Must one be short and one for long sustain?

Must one be strong and one be weak and ailing?

Must one be boring, one be full of bling?

Must one be round, one square, one of no shape?

Must one run fast, one amble, one stumble each step?    (115)

Must one be oiled, another put on rusting?

Must one be fed, another put on starving?

Must one assist, another dominate?

Must one be prey and another predate?

Can Links be so dissimilar, diverse?

How'll Life then journey the Unbroken Course?

Doesn't Life so down get broken, out get fallen?

Doesn't Life so die defenseless, powerless, certain?

Can't links of Life be created Uniform?

Can't they be put to an immortal system?     (120)

 

 

Is mortal system basic to the Creation?

Is Life destined for such continuation?

Is Life system existent sole to this planet?

Does Creation to exist on her concentrate?

Is Earth with mortal system the cog of Cosmos?

Does she with Birth and Death create Cosmic force?

For which purpose does work this Cosmic force?

For what returns do links penance for Cosmos?

Why must a link be pulled out of the Unknown?

Why must the link be crushed back to the Unknown?     (125)

Are links not crops of this cruel automation?

Will cruelty on links of Life endless go on?

Can't ever we get back at the assassin?

Can't we detect the fatal force that's hidden?

Isn't hiding out in darkness the fatal force?

Does it not send us out, torment, then kill us?

Why must we come from dark, return to dark?

Whom does Life mean? Why's the momentary spark?

If dark is dark, why creatures, why matter?

If spark is spark, why do then Humans differ?     (130)

 


 

CANTO TWO

HUMAN  DIFFERENCE

 

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. 

                         --  George Bernard Shaw

                                                                               

We do not describe the world we see. We see the world we can describe. 

                                         -- Rene Descartes 

                                                                                         

(Human beings are unique. They are the latest form of evolution of life on Earth and  supreme form of the universe. They are the only species who acknowledge the creation and can re-create. They have started cognitive, scientific, and technological revolutions. They have exposed many secrets of the universe and delivered the world many human-made wonders, the latest being AI. Recent scientific and technological advancements in genetics, biotechnology and medical science strongly indicate toward human immortality.)


 

Hasn't Life been given Human Difference?

Aren't we Humans unique in Make and Means?

Aren't we distinct in Body, Mind and Brain?

And in Eyes, Ears, Tongue, Face distinct again?

Don't our Eyes bring whole Cosmos into the Lense?

Don't our Ears listen even her voice of silence?

Doesn't Tongue enounce infinite words and meanings?

And glorify their behaviors and beauties?

Who'll file events and outcomes of evolution?

And sketch out Life's origin, destination?

Who'll put the Creation in the optic frame?

And give each created a becoming name?

Who'll recognize existence of the Creation?

What realities will it have in oblivion?

Isn't Human knowledge basic for grand Creation?

Doesn't it Shoot us ahead with much reliance?

Isn't Brain the World's most prized Inheritance?

Isn't it enriched with Creativity, Sentience?    (190)

 

 

Doesn't Sentient, Creative grow our Brain as time flows?

Doesn't it each time grow Big, Potent it goes?

Doesn't it add Strength as moves each generation?

Doesn't it enrich it with Skills from each condition?

Doesn't its enrichment take Cognitive Function?

Doesn't Brain Cognition spur Human evolution?

Isn't Brain evolution's Crowning Achievement?

Aren't Humans Creation's latest Wonderment?

Won't Wondermost be Human Immortality?

Don't we by Plastic Brain now rule our age?

Doesn't Life become more long as aging slows?

Don't we each time give Life a new dimension?

Don't we devise techniques of reproduction?

Isn't Life now more than just flesh, blood, skin, bones?

Isn't worth of Life more than what Body owns?

Isn't worth entitled with Wealth of the Heavens?

Aren't Titles earned from Nature's each Essence?

Don't we leapfrog deserts, alps, oceans; stride poles?

Don't we in empty heavens take joy strolls?    (200)

Don't we intend to Trot whole Universe?

Don't we to Humanize her wishes nurse?

Don't in our wishes lie the seeds of growth?

Haven't wishes turned untruth into firm truth?

Haven't what our Mind did wish been recognized?

Doesn't Mind observe, explore, review and reason?

Doesn't it inspire, motivate Brain for function?

Why then do we stuff us to Earth's Death and Birth?     (250)

 

 

 CANTO THREE

SUBJECTION

 

Not complete inaction, which is an error, a confusion, a self-delusion, an impossibility, but action full and free done without subjection to sense and passion, desireless and unattended works, are the first secret of perfection.           

                                              -- Sri Aurobindo

 

The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.


                                                  -- Antisthenes


                                                                                                                                   

(Everything in the universe has been in forward motion since the beginning of the creation. So is evolution of life on the earth. Ancient humans have evolved into the present sapiens and many traditional concepts have been proved untrue, but the human mind has not become conscious of the changes. Submission to atavistic instincts and customary habits has subjected human beings to subconscious. Many delusions, mythical images, blind beliefs and strange obsessions have interfered in their subconscious mind and become stubborn obstacles in the path of their evolution toward the supreme reality of human immortality.)

 


Why Earth if we belong to Universe?

Why do we limit us in earthy matters?

How can the mundane-bound Mind b Divine?

Can The Infinite be pressed into a confine?

Does our Life form not part of The Infinite?

Why then are we subjected to the finite?

Is Life not finite, its growing on the mortal?

Won't Life if grew sans mortals be immortal?

Don't we survive all upon short-lived matters?

Isn't too materialistic Life of ours?       (255)

Doesn't materialism hit the Body of Life?

Don't we succumb to hatred, anger, grief?

Aren't our emotions bound to materials?

Isn't Mind possessive of these as essentials?

Won't Life be short if matters made essence?

Don't matters motion Life through dying moments?

Do we not live momentary, each of us?

Isn't it 'cause we inhabitate Subconscious?

Don't we befoul The Real by fake Subconscious?

Isn't it made of vague facts, fake faiths, wild fears?     (260)

Isn't it own sketch, of red, white, grey, black, indigo?

Aren't they all stubborn colors of our ego?

Aren't within walls of ego captive we?

Don't we yet feel secure in captivity?

Doesn't so Subconscious tyrannize our Life?

Aren't we languishing in Subconscious' grip?

Hasn't Subconscious paralyzed our Mind?

Hasn't it locked up our thinking unrefined?

Isn't our Subconscious Mind a space too little?

Doesn't it just hold what we to our limit feel?     (265)

 

 

Aren't feelings based on our experiences?

Aren't they to scope of how we use our Senses?

Isn't each experience a minuscule?

Have we not crumpled our Life into an ovule?

Isn't our crushed Life prone to impediments?

Don't they make livings tense with trying moments?

Don't we survive through struggles each moment?

Don't we through struggled survival aim achievement?

Haven't struggles for survival been our System?

Isn't living System a flawed microcosm?      (270)

How'll microcosmic Life break through Continuum?

How'll it be freed to Death-less Macrocosm?

Haven't we subjected us to micro limit?

Don't we consider mortal Life as absolute?

Isn't nascent yet the Life of Universe?

Can Life be Absolute sole in Human lores?

Doesn't Human knowledge idolize Subconscious?

Don't we so live a life undue and false?

Isn't Subconscious nestled in the dead past?

Much of the past that didn't or don't exist?     (275)

Aren't they of gossip stories, cooked up cultures?

Of fed-off myths of hatred, love, faiths, fears?

Weren't they concocted in uncultured times?

Of ages, economies, empires, regimes?

Doesn't our Life on Subconscious travel backward?

Won't change to the van of Conscious take us forward?

Doesn't Conscious run on the fuel of working Brain?

Doesn't Brain take us through Life's Flourishing Plane?

Doesn't Plane yield Wonder Crops as Conscious moves on?

Isn't it Subconscious which pulls back Progression?     (280)

 

 

Can't we be Conscious for our True Living?

Can't we discover Life, and Death, by so being?

Won't we, being Conscious, know our Life in truth?

Doesn't our Subconscious Mind maintain untruth?

Don't we conceal the Truth inside Subconscious?

Don't we allow untruth construct our Conscious?

Don't we believe in being Conscious of Life?

Should Consciousness be built upon our belief?

Doesn't our belief feed on our brainless biases?

Doesn't biasness grow on material senses?     (285)

Should Consciousness mean to be sense-centric?

Aren't our material senses biased, barbaric?

Should Consciousness be biased understanding?

Isn't understanding based upon our knowings?

Isn't knowledge our experience with senses?

Do lores of senses hold The Transcendence?

Have yet our senses reached whole Universe?

Isn't Creation an incomprehensive course?

Aren’t Humans scared of what’s not comprehensible?

Doesn’t mind, so, fashion myths ‘bout the unknowable?    (290)

Aren't myths our colors on the incomprehensive?

Aren't they developed by crafts of the illusive?

Hasn't knowledge been on illusive facts built?

Doesn't Science alone expand our knowledge limit?

Won't Science one day be able to burst all myths?

Why do we create religious labyrinths?

Aren't Humans by a host of religions waylaid?

Doesn't each religion cast its Trump of God?

Isn't God a product of nuance and illusion?

What does confuse us more on The Unknown?     (295)

 

 

Must God blind us while Science beacons us light?

Must Life be divisive, 'gainst itself fight?

Aren't we divided, each, bet'n God and Science?

Is Life not tugged by Science and by Nescience?

Is Life designed by God, or Nature-made?

How Humans master Earth; them they stab, grenade?

Why do they create, disrupt? Why grow? Why kill?

What hand of God in Human acts does feel?

Does God through us control, design, destroy?

Why do we for each thing on Science rely?     (300)

Is Science a system of God's operation?

Isn't it, through Humans, a Cosmic Evolution?

Doesn't it on Earth create Human Revolution?

Doesn't Earth now look more live-able, more thriven?

Why's Science-propelled Advancement preempted?

Why's Life, by God, from its Course diverted?

Can't Humans think beyond the terms of God?

Can't we realize against what's vaguely showed?

Doesn't Game of God belong to Humans 'lone?

Can 'pundits' construe life nonhumans own?     (305)

Do plants have idea of God and religion?

Is God to animals, insects, birds known?

How do they grow, eat, drink, sleep and survive?

Do Humans than them more divinely live?

By what do we think our Life than theirs better?

Can betterness be claimed by how we differ?

Do they observe their Life of difference?

Do they experience their Life worse than Humans'?

Isn't Life of, say, reptiles to a snake the best?

Isn't best of homes, 'mong all, to birds their nest?    (310)

 

 

Do they, yet, know their Life or of the rest?

Don't they survive sans sense that they exist?

Can we be best by mere sense of existence?

Is our existence than theirs more an essence?

Are we than them to Nature more essential?

Are we than plants, animals, birds more vital?

Isn't Life of us same, momentary, as theirs?

Isn't like theirs, mortal, fragile Life of us?

Aren't we same in Birth, Growth, Procreation, Death?

Isn't it their feelings that our feelings match with?     (315)

Aren't feelings same as love, fear, pain and pleasure?

Doesn't like their Life ours fall to Death, howe'er?

Isn't Life for each equally meaningful?

Why'll God belong to Human species sole?

Is't so because we have intelligence?

Does our intelligence best our ignorance?

Does mere intelligence mean our true knowledge?

Will linking God with Life have us an edge?

Has God e'er benefitted Human Life?

How'll He while shut in the shell of our belief?     (320)

Has God e'er been freed from the shell to act?

Don't we against each other lone do react?

Are wars bet'n communities actions of God?

How'll God imprisoned by our belief spill our blood?

Are working, growing, eating...all God's actions?

How's then conflicts, corruptions, exploitations?

How's God made part of livings and of Life?

When did we first have in God our belief?

How did the sketch of God abide in Mind?

Whoever were the first whom God divined?     (325)

 

 

Whate'er were they? Where'er were they? And why?

However did they live and grow did they?

Why then did they split God into division?

How yet did God bear Human intervention?

Who into who in fact did intervene?

Human into God or God into Human?

How did both God and Human get ramified?

How were conflicting Humans, Gods created?

Don't conflicts grow more bitter as we move on?

Haven't they disturbed our genuine evolution?     (330)

Don't we evolve genuine by Laws of Nature?

Aren't many Laws yet hidden for us to explore?

Haven't we explored the Laws-- of relativity?

Of rhythm, cause, effect, of polarity?

Of gravitation, of motion, of vibration?

Of action and reaction, of transmutation?

Of gestation, 'mong other Laws of Nature?

That we've discovered, and that we discover?

Aren't they all Laws of Cosmic Energy?

Aren't they manifested as the Whole we see?     (335)

The Whole, of Energy Manifestation?

With processes beneath, fore'er in Motion?

The Motion from the start of Universe?

Ceaselessly with her billions of years Course?

The Course that picked up Physics to move with?

Then Chemistry, Stars, Planets, and our Earth?

With Earth the growing of Life-- Biology?

All ceaseless Motion now with Energy?

From Energy to Dust, from Dust to Planets?

To Stars, to Galaxies...yond Cosmic limits?    (340)

 

 

From Particles to Molecules to Microbes?

To Macrobes, Mammals, Primates, and Anthropes?

As Matters living and non-living all move?

Forming, transforming them that they evolve?

Always in Motion or in State of Motion?

In rotation, reflection, dilation, translation?

If we see or not, hear or feel or not?

Things move with sound or still, in shade or sight?

As moves song of the koel and crow's cacophony?

From Human whispers to hubbubs to harmony?    (345)

And heat of summer sun to winter's warmth?

From bright to dark, from dry to raining Earth?

As woodland turns a desert or mainland an ocean?

And streams of wind and water e'er in Motion?

And solid into liquid, into vapor?

All by Law, as each merges into th’other?

That Matter into Matter duly merges?

With Time, that Old goes by and New emerges?

And All with Time move forward in subjection?

To Nature's Laws, her Compulsive Selection?     (350)

Doesn't Nature with her Laws evolve, advance?

Aren't tight in Nature's hand held all, all Humans?

In Spheres of her Air, Water, Light, Dust, Climate?

That we live as Survival does dictate?

That we survive and grow acquiring Matter?

Indirect, straight, from her Light, Soil, Air, Water?

From Energy of Cosmos filled in her Eternal?

That we collect, create, for our survival?

That all survive through changes hidden or express?

And each with Energy exists, advances?     (355)

 

 

Howe’er, here, did God come into existence?

Howe’er does He, sans Motion, set up relevance?

Relevance of evolving Life and living?

While unevolved, unchanged is He on past mooring?

Isn't God estranged to Human Life and living?

Doesn't He estranged still go with ours Evolving?

Doesn't many a change each time around occur?

Don't they effect transition in living structure?

Isn't rioting the structural modes of Life?

Which way does God do good to our belief?     (360)

Is our belief in God not superficial?

Don't we believe our Life contains God's Soul?

Isn't Soul a figment-- formless figurine?

Haven't we subjected Soul to Self as Divine?

Aren't Soul and God untouched, intangible?

Why's through the intangible put what's tangible?

How's in our Life made lifeless intervention?

Don't we forfeit Real Shape of Life to abstraction?

Isn't by abstraction different same Human?

A Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, or Christian?    (365)

Don't by abstraction I hate you, you hate me?

Aren't we diverse from what we really be?

Don't swindlers, saints, friends, foes all shapeless live?

Don't they if now look lifeless, next alive?

Aren't they if now in mind, next in oblivion?

Doesn't Mind of ours paint our own shape alone?

Isn't by merit of Mind our Life is shaped?

Doesn't Mind's merit account for mental concept?

Isn't concept our ideas we build by experiences?

Aren't through our ideas living truths we sense?     (370)

 

 

Isn't with those truths that we construct our shape?

Don't we in that shape live unworried, safe?

Don't we when shape's disturbed feel big off color?

How does Mind shape us others do disfigure?

Can shape be perfect in the shade of Subconscious?

Can Mind to paint us gather true colors?

Can colors, contours, themes, in darkness develop?

Can they to Eyes and Mind with purpose show up?

Don't we, in fact, draw our own caricature?

Don't we each to the other strange appear?     (375)

Doesn't each feel oneself real, the other fake?

Isn't it 'cause we to Light of Truth ne'er wake?

Has in our Mind not interfered Subconscious?

Doesn't it 'gainst Real Shape block the Light of Conscious?

Isn't Shape of Life treasured in Consciousness?

Don't we now spoof it by Subconsciousness?

Aren't strange the shapes, the souls that we experience?

Haven't they bewitched our Mind with fraudulence?

Isn't prone to fraudulence our mortal Mind?

Hasn't it kept Life to frauds of Death confined?     (380)

Doesn't Mind in shade of Death behave and act?

And, so, with Birth, Rebirth, Soul have a pact?

Does Life with mortal pact feel truly Real?

And that on change of a Life changes Soul?
