The dark side of me!

How easily I judge,
Continuing to proclaim to the world,
Each time you judge someone,
You have a part of you yet to be healed!

How easily I succumb to hatred,
Continuing to proclaim,
Don't hate, meditate!

How easily I lie,
Continuing to proclaim,
I hate you lying.

How easily I get enamoured
By novelty and freshness,
Of ideas, books, perspectives.
Continuing to judge the other as manipulative,
For their natural urge to explore!

How easily I become a rude and harsh Scrooge!
Continuing to disdain his dryness and materialism.

How easily I mistake friends as my commodities,
Continuing to preach Eric Fromm
And his message of to "be"
Instead to "have".

How eaily I judge carefree freedom of others,
As shallow promisquity.
Continuing to proclaim
The uprightness of humanism and inclusivity.

How easily I slip into narrow totalitarianism,
Continuing to proclaim the wisdom of
Diversity, freedom, liberty and choice!

How easily I turn into the inertia of the "Mahisasur"
Continuing to proclaim the wisdom
Of the divinity of the "Devi".

How easily I take to extremes,
Continuing to proclaim,
The truth and profundity
Of the "Middle Path" and balance.

How easily I slip into
Delusive childish ways,
Continuing to proclaim
The wisdom of childlike simplicity.

How easily I let my mind
Be overtaken by self created delusions,
Continuing to proclaim
Respect, objectivity and humility.

How easily I cross that invisible line,
Differentiating humanism and barbarianism.

O Lord, I offer my head in your Lotus Feet.
Shamelessly I continue to ask thy forgiveness.
And yet again, I stand up and ask,
Give me that strength to be a Human!
A grown up full Human!

May Thou continue to be alive and potent,
Seated on the altar of my heart,
Inspiring me and holding me,
Enabling me to fufill my purpose,
Of growing to be a Human!
