*Takeaways from a trek to Fungni Top with trekkenture*
The desire for this, the lust for that
wandering of the mind hither and tither
Oh, the lure of gratification instant
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
The cast in stone opinions and lenses of “my” hues
When challenged, causing uncontrolled rage and anger
Oh, the unbridled love for self-made world views
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
The desperate hanging on to relationships ephemeral,
Confusing between love and obsessive care
Oh, the letting loose of imagination feral
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
The clinging to things material
Accumulating more for now and forever
Oh, the meaningless pursuits of life unreal
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
Who else but I, claims the mighty ego
Busy covering the truth with masks superior
Oh, the love for me that wouldn’t let go
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
The pangs of frustration and envy
When the mind invents ways to suffer
Oh, the inability to see the oneness of this journey
And yet, should I indulge in the dance or focus on the dancer?
The snow capped mountains, stoic and steady
Making every aspect of life beautiful and heady
Oh Shiva, the cause of this cosmic dance
The Dancer who dances from a trance !

Tempted to say focus on the dancer, but will miss your musings if you do not dance
We may feel that we ought to judge between the dance and rhe dancer but the reality is different...it's our instinct based on the previous births and the alms if the almighty that we would choose a right path towards spirituality...
What's the need, to focus on dancer or indulge in dancing ? Both are eternal.
Leave prejudice towards life and the accompanying baggage. Nurture relations and create memories.
Remember, you can become dancer too and indulge in dancing, for that, what is required is living the life as its bestowed.
"When the mind invents ways to suffer"....Wow. How easy it is to get trapped and realize this in retrospect. Thanks for sharing
