Sat Chit Anand!

The three essence of life-

Read the explanation of the logo at Here.
Taken from Manav Seva Sangh!

Atma, Parmatma and Jivatma,*
Defining the universe in a trice!

Sometimes in the literature when they try to define
God and His nature they say only three Lines
     Sat- The only existing Truth
         Chit- The consciousness within,
              Anand- The eternal unending Love....

We have always been three,
my father, mother and me,
Became the double after my union with thee!


*
Atma- आत्मा  meaning soul.
Parmatma- परमात्मा  meaning God!
Jivatma- जीवात्मा meaning collective union of all souls in the universe! 

This poem is written for a prompt given by Mama Zen at The Imaginary Garden With Real Toads. To create a poem of 90 words or less with the number 'three'!

Humanity!

Captured at Krishna Temple in New Delhi

Humanity is not in asking for your rights,

It lies in the heart of giving other's rights.

Rights are not the immoral demands of an unsatisfied man,

Rights are one's duty and another man's needs!

Religion is not a habit of praying for 5 minutes everyday,

Religion is in the service of the deprived!
Service is not in expecting returns in any manner,

That is just work for which you asked to be payed differently...

Service is in giving all you have which you can give,

Also which is not against consciousness, reason or morality...

Deprived is not a man unsatisfied,

Deprived is a man of needs...

Sentiments are more omnipresent than actions,

And actions more than things...

If service by things is not in your ability,

Service by sentiment is the key to happiness...

Happiness is less in relishing the world for yourself,

And a little more in enjoying others happiness,

And far more in making the unhappy happy again!!

For once if you are sad for the others sadness,

You shall never need to be sad for your own!

If you can't give them anything else,

Give them Love and Care,

But Love is not so much in making the loved happy,

As It is in doing what's good for them...

Lover is not the one who favours his love in the wrongs,

But the one who corrects the flaws as they come...

Flaws don't make people bad forever,

For who is there so flawless in the world?

Be the change you want to see, 

And experience the change in the world!!

Abuse not what you have,

For everything you have is given,

And hence its Not yours to Misuse,

Be it the Mind, Body, Heart or Life,

People, Things, Food or TIME...

Don't pray for more,

For you can barely handle what you got...

Give in to the judgement of the universe,

And be free of all the cares and worries.

Believe in God only for yourself, 

Not to show the world you're a theist,

For you could be an atheist and yet be loved equally,

Given the same sun and rain, water and earth and air...

Love everyone equally or be a yogi

and care not for anyone including the self...

The world is a very giving place,

She considers us better than we are,

And less bad than we know ourselves to be!!
