A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
As a sea nears a victim bound and still,
The approach alarmed his mind for ever dumb
Of an implacable eternity
Of pain inhuman and intolerable.
At the Feet of The Mother
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
In street and house, in councils and in courts
Beings he met who looked like living men
And climbed in speech upon high wings of thought
But harboured all that is subhuman, vile
And lower than the lowest reptile's crawl.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
A new aesthesis of Inferno's art
That trained the mind to love what the soul hates,
Imposed allegiance on the quivering nerves
And forced the unwilling body to vibrate.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
A capital was there without a State:
It had no ruler, only groups that strove.
He saw a city of ancient Ignorance
Founded upon a soil that knew not Light.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
A charm and sweetness sudden and formidable,
Faces that raised alluring lips and eyes
Approached him armed with beauty like a snare,
But hid a fatal meaning in each line
And could in a moment dangerously change.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
A hidden Puissance conscious of its force,
A vague and lurking Presence everywhere,
A contrary Doom that threatens all things made,
A Death figuring as the dark seed of life,
Seemed to engender and to slay the world.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
There is no end of seeking and of birth,
There is no end of dying and return;
The life that wins its aim asks greater aims,
The life that fails and dies must live again;
Till it has found itself it cannot cease.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Even grief has joy hidden beneath its roots:
For nothing is truly vain the One has made:
In our defeated hearts God's strength survives
And victory's star still lights our desperate road;
Our death is made a passage to new worlds.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Life stared at him with vague confused outlines
Offering a picture the eyes could not keep,
A story that was yet not written there.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
There Matter is soul's result and not its cause.
In a contrary balance to earth's truth of things
The gross weighs less, the subtle counts for more;
On inner values hangs the outer plan.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Whether for Heaven or Hell they must wage war:
Warriors of Good, they serve a shining cause
Or are Evil's soldiers in the pay of Sin.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
She finds again the Presence in the form
And in the light that wakes with him recovers
A meaning in the hurry and trudge of Time,
And through this mind that once obscured the soul
Passes a glint of unseen deity.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
It is near to heavenlier heavens than earth's eyes see,
A direr darkness than man's life can bear:
It has kinship with the demon and the god.

A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
She stands on a shore in the Illimitable,
Perceives the formless Dweller in all forms
And feels around her infinity's embrace.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
The Children of the unembodied Gleam
Arisen from a formless thought in the soul
And chased by an imperishable desire,
Traversed the field of the pursuing gaze.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
And when that greater Self comes sea-like down
To fill this image of our transience,
All shall be captured by delight, transformed
