~ Aham Brahmasmi… ~ 

☆

You proclaim, “Aham Brahmasmi..!

I’m the Brahma… I’m the Absolute!”

A cosmic claim, so divine and complete

But have you seen your own conduct

and flaws through all the years?

Do you ever peep in your own heart,

occasionally, even  by  a mistake?

*

Your words sound so grand,

but your actions are blasphemous,

Do you live what you preach,

or just pretend to be blessed?

You always speak of unity,

of oneness and harmony,

But do your sacrilegious deeds

reflect the truth of the humanity?

*

You say you are Brahma…

you are the Absolute…

But do your shadows align

with the divine cosmic ways?

Or do you hide behind a veil

of conceit and inflated ego,

And ignore the whispers of

your own heart’s uncanny divide?
