Photo : Vikram Phale “Rest Here”
Choose to often do Nothing
Choose to not play the game
Choose to simply stay & Be
Choose the seemingly insane
Try it
Do Nothing
For an hour
For a day
For a month
For any length of time
Know what really is the fight
Win over that all in the mind
It is the Brave
Who can truly rest on this planet
Their choices are such …
Just Be
Aware
Then watch
Prowess simply becoming You
None of it you feel the need to be shown
Yet you are seen as powerfully grown
Infinite Living 
Wow! A beautiful perspective! 🙂

Oh, that is so good! This is a very powerful poem. It feels confident and connected, as if awareness has overtaken that which was once strived for, and moved beyond it by an immeasurable margin.

I feel deep silence and gratitude at your kind response Co. I feel the words of this poem chose to come and I don’t feel anywhere that I wrote them. Nothing regarding this post feels like an action chosen and taken …I believe you get what I am saying. This is yet another fresh new experience yet not mine in any way. I have said this about other poems, but this is still different. Thank you for your support.

In the current world where taking a moment for yourself is a challenge what with the glow of the screen luring and enticing you. It is a rare event if we were to sit and stare like sheep or cows or probably it is an something that happened only in the past.
Thank you for that reminder and that too so beautifully, Pragalbha.

Indeed the graph veers up and down, there is this ebb and flow in the ease of our Being. The awakened moments on the way keep us hooked thankfully …it gets easier until we then reach for the next level of our Self – process becomes familiar yet the experience so fresh …
It gives me happiness that you see the depth and that is how we are supported on our way, thank you for your thoughtful comment VS 🙂

Haha yes these concepts sometimes don’t easily translate. I believe – what is needed to be done gets done without much effort. We identify, choose and allow the action and expression. ‘Do Nothing’ becomes important when we are struggling to make something happen, until we feel clear about a choice.
