The sky turned black that day

-


It was raining the whole day,
Till then the sky was blue
The warriors were leaning on the wall
With quietness around them, with guns near their shoe

The whole day they were fighting for life
Suddenly, a white flag was up on the next side
Then everything stopped all around the crew

They kept their guns down and raised up their hand,
But somebody shot them with his shotgun around
(BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!)
Everybody was dead and bloodshed around winning crew

The shooter shouted, cried and finally shot himself dead.
A man was shouting again then,
Blood cost lot and takes lot too

But,
The war wasn’t over yet…………
A battalion of around fifty men were approaching them.

With less guns, bullets and bombs
They had no choice left then to fight
The CAPTAIN shouted, “soldiers its time to do or die”
They raised their gun and for the last time prayed to the god

No one was left,
The enemy won.

I clearly remember now,
The sky turned black that day,
THE SKY TURNED BLACK THAT DAY.

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagaran.

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equanimity can

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is something like an
