Enlightenment Poems
The 24 Roadblocks to Enlightenment
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
The Purpose of our Life is Enlightenment
But we are all trapped in Achievement
We run a race trying to be an ace
Lost in this maze, we don't live with grace
And all we end up is with entertainment
What is Enlightenment, this Truth, do we know?
It is overcoming Ignorance within, a spark is lit, aglow
It is overcoming the lie that God lives in the sky
Going on a Quest, Realizing, 'Who am 'I''

Many Problems... One Solution
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Problems, Problems are everywhere
My life is in such a mess
I feel so sad and miserable
With worry, anxiety and stress
It all started when I was a child
My exams made me cry
And then, it was heartbreak
I looked up at the sky and asked ‘Why?'

Posiemom
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Who is God, where is God, what is God? This question is in our head
We pray to God, we go to a temple
But ultimately, we are dead
We fold our hands and pray to God
Oh Lord, our problems you must solve Some of us seek to fulfil our dreams And so, the Lord we involve
But a few of us, our God we love
As we live, for God we yearn
These are the ones who realize God The biggest treasure they earn

Dream vs Reality Both are illusions!
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Why should I worry, it was just a Dream
It is not real, no need to scream
A Dream is an Illusion, though vivid it may seem
But Life is different; Life is real
Don’t we all suffer, don’t we all swirl?
Very few go deep to discover the treasure, the pearl
What is this Journey of Life on earth?
What is the Purpose of our human birth?

3 Peaks Of Happiness
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
What is Happiness? Is it Success?
Is it Achievement that creates so much stress?
Success creates money that creates Pleasure and Bliss
But this is not what true Happiness is!
Happiness is not money, otherwise the rich would be glad!
There are people who are successful, why are they sad?
Happiness is not Pleasure that depends on many a thing
True Happiness is Peace, it is a state of being

Why is there suffering in the world?
by Tiffany Lưu
we say candles light
but not that the room darkened
countless stars shine bright
yet space had never faded
glow would not be known
when there’s no gloom to be shown
flowers and rainbows
mere myths mortals blown

God Realization
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Who is God? Where is God? What is God? We ask
Then, we think that this is an impossible task
And we go to Temple and we go to Church
Desperate to find God, we continue our search
Little do we Realize that God lives within
God is not far away, God is just beneath the skin
But because we don't Realize that the way is Self-Realization
We live and die without God-Realization!
Some question, 'Is everything about God, a bunch of lies?'

Our Greatest Sin
by AiR - Atman in Ravi
Let us win over our Greatest Sin!
The most important journey, let’s begin
This will be life’s biggest win
Realizing we are not this body, this skin
Then, the sinner will be free from sin
Let us win over our Greatest Sin!
Who doesn’t Sin? We all do sin
We live with greed and pride within
Lust and envy drive our engine
