This is about if

This is about if

A Poem by Vipin Behari Goyal

exists.Is that enough?

Free choices are ridiculous.

Life is absurd but so is death.

“I think that I think”.

That I who knows this I is illusioned.

That which appears is only Truth.

ennui beholds the life.

Control it and there will be no difference in pleasure and grief.

Maya is Lila.See her eye to eye.

Faith is delusion. Ignorance is bliss.

follow instincts.

Void is a minor vice.

Aspire for eternal bliss.

I am not sure I catch this Vipin, I am so sorry, I want to because your style is really good. I love your ability to draw me in, when you say life is absurd, but so is death, I think yes, death isn't real so it's absurd, then am I interpreting wrong, am I interpreting how I would wish to interpret. 'that I who knows this I is illusioned' , I think that we are all one, and there is no I....am I wrong again...the only thing that confuses me in my path all the way through is faith is delusion. I think because it can be taken two ways. faith is delusion because there is no afterlife, or faith is delusion, because there is no need for faith it is absolute.

so you have made me ponder in great depth, and I hope I didn't misconstrue, beautiful poetry either way, glad I had the chance to stop in.

I read this as more of a question. Putting "if" before many of the statements - as tho' these are a list of if - then moments and the whole thing made sense to me.
if faith is delusion then ignorance is bliss.
if I exist then is that enough
A deep, interesting write and perspective.

Thank you very much for your insightful and interesting review.
Vipin, I am trying to understand what you are saying. My faith is not delusional, I know the Truth. The world is delusional and therefore takes you no where. If you are challenging people to seek that is understandable. The world has many myths and masks, Wisdom and discernment will guide you through this maze. Many Blessings, Richie.
