HAIKU: Freedom from Oneself


Immobile haze.
Moon, spring, sleep.
- Kyorai

He is saying this is what life is: “Immobile haze. Moon, spring, sleep” — simple, no complication.

A sannyasin lives a life of such simplicity: the moon, the spring, the sleep — and he is fulfilled. A little immobile haze, and then arises the moon, then comes the spring — there are flowers — and then the sleep.

If you can conceive life in such simple terms — a little dance, a little love, a little playfulness, a little laughter, a little music, and then comes the eternal sleep, life becomes just a small drama. Soon the drama will be over. The acceptance that the drama will be over, that we are just players in a game which is not going to last forever — we will have to vacate the place for other players — then life becomes very simple, without any complexity and without any competition. One lives silently, peacefully, and prepares himself for the eternal peace, the eternal silence, the eternal sleep.

Classic Composition


ishq junoon jab hadh se badh jaaye - 2
hanste hanste aashiq suli chadh jaaye .....

ishq ka jaadu sar chadhkar bole
khoob laga lo pehre raste rab khole.....

yahi ishq ki marzi hain
yahi rab ki marzi hain
yahi ishq ki marzi hain
yahi rab ki marzi hain
tere bin jeena kaisa
???

tune kya kar dala marr gayi main mitt gayi main
ho ri ha ha ri ho gayi main
teri deewani deewani
teri deewani deewani

Guys, if you feel charged up looking at this words, believe me you are a soul who appreciates good composition.

These are words from the song Teri Deewani - by Kailash Kher. With the release of his album KAILASA, he has given few good compositions and Teri Deewani is one of them.

This song starts with classic vocal of Kailash Kher, slowly it ramps up with guitar and finally drums and synthesizer pitches inn. Full credits to the lyricist, who has successfully built an image of a crazy lover girl along the song. I will say, Kailash Kher has given everthing that he had in this song. Listening to it, one could feel the character, that lyricist had portrayed in words.

As I wrote above, if you are a soul thriving for good music, you would love to add this song in your favorite playlist. What say Smitha? Ajay Patel? Rishikesh?
