“Oh
Buddha….What are you my Lord?
The Most
Benevolent or this Yasodhara’s Bygones
Battle
You
showed the world the true inner awakening
But leaving
behind the samsara after you were at it?
We bow
to you for the greatest of the epithets
People
tell me that you are enlightened my Lord!
Twelve
years of penance and you return home to talk
To express
your gratitude for all the help I gave
On my
Lord, in this process, I have only helped
myself
Oh
Mahatma, you thought that you owe me a share of your awakening
The day
you decided to leave and go
Had you
trusted the woman you loved and told her so
Would I,
your dear wife, not be the first one to let you go?
That was
my only pain and truly anguish Lord
Whatsoever
that prevented you to speak then?
And what
ever you have come to speak up now?
It doesn’t
matter to me anymore, my Lord!”
Buddha
looked at her apologetic and confirmed he was ignorant
It was
the non-understanding as he started the journey to seek
That he
can make his own people sad and meek
And he
escaped like a thief in the middle of the night
Without giving
her a hint or a chance to fight
Soon after
the childbirth, as tired she went to sleep
The world
around took its mighty deeper leap
“Oh
Mighty Buddha…no use crying over the split milk
Nor I
would understand your journey experiences bilk
You are
no longer the man I used to know
You are
the greatest Luminosity with an aura to follow
The light
around you is making me go blind, Oh Buddha!
I feel
your presence almost absence, you so silent and peaceful
Its been
ages since, I was already into you initiated!
Before
my eyes close off, and my thoughts cloud off
I just
have one last question to ask!
Whatever
you have attained? Whatsoever it is?
Was it
not possible to attain here with me around?”
Buddha
did not reply to her with his words
But
closed his eyes in her benevolence
He could
feel and tell himself in truth
As he
knew it has nothing to do
With the
forests or the palaces, he was raised
With the
family or with the ashrams to attain
It has
got nothing to do with any place
All it
had was something to do with his innermost core
That’s just
available everywhere
Just practicing
the great pancha silas
Respect
for Life, Respect
to other’s property
Respect
to our pure Nature, Respect
for Honesty
Respect
for a Clear Mind
And he
for sure knew,
That his
Queen Yasodhara
Has long
attained the inner awakening
That he
longed and seemed so fervently chasing

Now, the Part 2- of Buddha- The benevolence…the actual spiritual attainment of Yasodhara will be published towards the end of month on how Striding into Spirituality like Yasodhara is even possible and humanly adorable
The new age Masters
are those who do not leave behind their responsibilities in search of spiritual
seeking…they are among-st us, around us, impacting us, influencing us every day…and
conquering our thoughts & imaginations and injecting aspirations to live in
a more meaningful and matured way. I see
a Buddha in every such soul around me!
Yes, I want to be a Yasodhara…the one who conquered seeking of self from
where I am !
