It is in deed, Leela.
We breathe every moment, surrounded by life giving oxygen in air.Yet, never conscious of it nor acknowledge its presence, leave alone expressing gratitude. Isn't this ingratitude?We act as we deem it fit and blame others.If possible ask the Master Puppeteer stand in the box.
Suddenly remember we are mere puppets.
That's the way of the world, sir.
Exquisitely crafted piece of creative excellence.Carried by the flow so smooth and facile as it is, we suddenly are surrounded by so many questions, issues.
Sublimity at its best!
It is undoubtedly Leela, Raj sir.
Keeps lingering in one's inner core for days to come.
Thanks for sharing,sir.Kudos.

Excellent. You are a great thinker and a poet too. Yes sir breathing is what defines life. And surprising we are taught every thing by others , like how to eat, walk, talk, think, work , except how to breathe.
You must be practicing Pranayaam , to know the value of breathing. And ironically all the protest and mayhem going on in America is because of a simple statement -- I CAN NOT BREATHE..
Loved it.

Aham Brahmasmi. This mahavakya from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is manifest throughout the poem Leela. There is no need to search anywhere for the Master Puppeteer in control of all life in this universe. We have to just look inside us. He is within us, that is every living organism, from birth to death. We are part of the Absolute.
The diction of the poem is made remarkable through good use of wordplay like nowhere and now here and the lilting alliteration in the last line here, there and everywhere. The undercurrent of all the lines suggest an intense relationship between the micro and the macro in the universe.

Very well-written. My only question is "What is miraculous?" Do you mean life itself? Or is it life that is in search of the miraculous? Again and again.
Thanks for sharing.

Unknown is always occult and incredible..if humans win,then the universe will never tolerate the human mess..cosmic force is keeping us under its control..so We have to thank God for this..self realisation is essential to us for worshipping Nature and its treasures

It's a poetic philosophy that's lovely.

The title seemed to be deceptive but the reading of the poem turned out to be an intellectual enlightenment and spiritual ecstasy. This is the Eternal Manifestation of the Eternal Supreme here , there and everywhere. This is the poetic essence of the mysterious and the metaphysical that guide and govern life. An inspirational composition, dear RK! Congratulations@

The " maya" of "cosmos of life" and the attendant " leela" have all been superbly articulated in this well-penned poem. the mystoc and mystery called life is so full of never-ending, unfathomable possibilities! Kudos and respects, poet Rajender Krishan ji.

Contextual Sir...
Uncertainties within this unknown unknowns of the past of each lifeless moment....
Better
not to be
Than
to be not
Better
Be alone in peace
Than
Be among in pieces
Better
Be in silence and limits
Than
Be in sense and wits
I turned, no doubt partly bald and gray
By my brethren, I was buried in a grave
Don't further, try to nail my coffin
I Can't even take the pain of a pin

Very good morning. Here it is morning
Poetry seems to be intrinsic in your nature.
Yes, the play of the Master Puppeteer is going on here, there and everywhere.
|
|
|
|
That He is present everywhere is the realization that
makes life rich...
Lines are memorable -
'Invisible and mysterious,
as if nowhere,
while effectively
being now here,
always within
from birth to death'

The Director
Of the Theatre of Life,
We the dramatis personae
As puppets
Into the hands of Destiny.

True, He conducts the orchestra, yet He has given us an instrument, too to play in harmony for the grand occasion - life. We are fortunate to have His confidence and His blessings. I liked the insightful verse, coming out of your inner self. Thank you, Rajender ji.

Very sweet , and Rajender ji, it is ,breathing, about the only thing we are not taught, We are taught how to eat walk talk think sleep , but breathing , we learn by ourselves. And only a wise few, therefore , like you are, know how to breath properly. Liked it vey much, thanks.

Profound truth has been expressed in simple words to understand the ever changing ups and downs of every human's life!

True! In the pantomime the puppets and the puppeteer play.The creator remains an unintereted viewer. Many are His mysteries!!!
Rajender delves deep into human existence. "Sin is behovely/All is well and all shall be well" averred St Juliana of Norwich.

That's a wonderful poem and neatly encapsulates
