The cloud of despair floats and covers the sky of my mind. The melody of separation comes and sings the song of pain. Yet my mind loves and just wants you. So many memories are here but you are not with me today. To find you on an unknown path, my mind alone sails the boat in search of you. There will be soon dawn due to birds singing, (in hope) the forest keeps his ears open. Tear the chest of darkness, comes back the day to get the smell of morning dew. I think you put the light on and coming on my way. In the black night of fatigue, my mind gets the light of hope.

Epar-Opar (worldly mind vs spiritual mind) – Where Should I Reside Sthai Epar (worldly mind) is telling to stay here few more days with me. Opar (spiritual mind) is telling as of today why you leave me alone.  Antara Although Epar is my temporary residence,  it is full filling many of my desires. How can I tell my mind?  to abandon everything what you have and dream to go to Opar.   Sanchari   My mind is not ready to forget everything of this temporary residence. However, when I think about both sides, I contradict myself about where to stay.   Aabhog (Last Antara) If I go to Opar I will have sweet life with abundance of happiness right away.  When this thought comes to my mind, there is no clear answer and it then tells me to call the Almighty for settlement.
