TRAYAMBAKAM

 

TRAYAMBAKAM

We live our life in dimension three.

Length, breadth and height is what we see.

Food clothing shelter

for the most time have us.

And we are always found lost,

running helter skelter.

A wise man once said " You are not to blame"

for you do not see

and how can you want that

which you cannot see.

Nor do we hear or smell

much less touch.

And it is fine:

We have learnt the market rules,

life is in routine, just like a well oiled machine.

But then somehow, a presence is felt,

and the height breadth and length

all change

topsy turvy go our securities

and suddenly we realise its running dry

this strangely stuttering life

that was once our well oiled being.

Lengths breadths widths

inches feet and miles

we live our world by measures

always wanting more.

Aum Trayambakam!

O three eyed One

finally you made us feel your immeasurable Self

help us Mahadev,

to see dimension four.
