Benevolent / Monstrous Wave
I desperately wanted to reach the shore
I clearly see that, with my current strength and power,
It would be impossible to touch the coast.
All of a sudden, I found a big wave gently caressing and
pushing me towards my goal
Thanks to the big wave, with this momentum, I believed I can.
As I continued the journey three quarters of my goal,
The gracious big wave collapsed and disappeared in the ocean
floor.
I can't accept the fact such a thing could happen to a benevolent
wave!
In my short span of life as a wave,
I had witnessed, a giant monstrous wave far away from me
that devoured many waves.
To my bewilderment this dreadful wave reached the shore
successfully.
Even after several calculations and justifications,
It was unfathomable for my mind to settle down with these two
incidents.
My mind has gone berserk, was restless and found it
difficult to come to terms.
While the mind is afflicted with suffering,
My journey towards the shore didn’t stop for a moment, but continued!
Suddenly, I find that, I am graciously caressing and
Pushing a wave before me, towards the coast.
Instantly, I became the benevolent wave.
Wait a minute, can I be proud of myself?
I didn’t do anything really, things are happening in its own
course.
How can I claim myself as the benevolent or monstrous?
On the same token, how can I judge others?
Who am I really? What
are all these so called actions?
The waves that are appearing in the water, seemingly perform
actions
As the ocean, I remain there all the time, while the waves
come and go,
Waves embrace and fight with each other in the plane of
space and time,
With seemingly experiencing the resultant cause and effect.
In the grand scheme of Ocean,
Can there be a wave that is independent of Ocean?
Can a wave perform an action independent of Ocean?
If that is the case, how can a wave be judged as a benevolent
or a monstrous?
Both the ballet and hip-hop movements appear and disappear
in the ocean floor.
The mind cannot fathom these movements as they continuously
change and come to an end.
Instead, focus the attention and be aware of the changeless
behind all these movements.
