Bramha ViharA Poem by Pushpa TuladharBramha Vihar, also called Chatu Bramha Vihar – The assembly of Divinity or immeasurable in Buddhism has four moral virtues, namely Loving Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Sympathetic Joy and(On the Mother’s day) Born
out of my mother’s womb, My
hazed eyes of the present day Converge
the soft soil of this samsara Feeling
the amorous warmth Of illimitable and
immeasurable I'm
quite conscious of. Grown up I'm In the tough and sturdy
legs Massaged by the pure
oil Of immeasurable mind. Matured I’m as the absolute
man - The conception of My affectionate motherhood. In the time passing by, When my mother turned Old enough to
fragility and frailty, Then my mindful memory Erased my own
childhood - The nam*
and roop* Of my mother in me. I'm occupied this much To set myself morally
uprights, Bemused I’m in my
right To concede you like my
own, Stayed far away from
your presence. The suffering you confronted In your old and
fragile body, My nature of looking intently
at you Fell down your mind into
despair. When my mind stuck in Brahma Bihar, the Assembly
of Divinity, I grasped you utterly.
Alas! You were then only
A lustrous star in the
sky. Merely for a day of each
year, Contentment flaunted in
me by Peeping your Nam
and Roop In me and mine In the beholding mirror Of the immeasurable universe.
