☆Of the formidable
divine cosmic vision,
I’m just an
esculent morsel…
I’m constrained to
inscribe the epoch;
To comprehensively
encompass the time
Past and Future keep
frequenting my pupils
I am blessed
to be immortal
As I remain
timelessly accursed..!
* Sanjay is a character from the ancient Indian Hindu war epic Mahabharat, —a mythological story of a war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Kauravas’ father, blind king Dhritarashtra was the ruler. Sanjay, —his advisor, was blessed with the gift of seeing events at a distance (divya-drishti) right in front of him, that was granted by the sage Vyasa. He narrates to Dhritarashtra the action in the epic battle of Kurukshetra. Lord Krishna’s discourse to Arjun was narrated to Dhritarashtra through his vision, which is what is the holy book Bhagavad Gita.
