 i was driving bike to reach factory


usual traffic , speed breakers, over takers, 

jerks, swings, police, hawkers ,


routine, no novel

nothing unusual


one thought how to reach in time safely, of course

mind thinking, body acting, as a matter of course


things were going smooth

it was a luck, forsooth


mind felt things to be alright and declutched from body, 

started thinking laterally, a bit moody


what is the goal?--- not the factory

when?--- not after the story turns into history


now, here ,on the road, on the bike

my being started to drive the mind alike


it said the goal is to be with being

and every moment be seeing and doing


i reduced the speed a little, hands on the brake relaxed,

manipulating the accelerator negotiating situations unlaxed


now ,eyes were not only on the road and traffic, 

but on trees, sky, shops, buildings, people, panorama terrific


the body in high relaxation, 

became light as air, as if nonexistent


it was just a moment of stand still, 

as if i am not travelling, not sitting on vehicle, 


just existing nonchalance, 

a non moving in all moving,


is it a dream have i slipped into ?

no, i am fully aware alert


rather in much more alertness than usual, 

on the road minding expertly every obstruction or traffic signal,


manipulating the speed , but entirely carefree, not careless.

yes i was in a state of being in acting


…..here i found how—

being permeating the mind and body nervous system, 

the activity becomes effortless, enjoyable, as if doing an art, 


with total involvement 

yet completely uninvolved, as if a witness.


…..driving is one example… , 

every activity thus becomes an attempt to reach the goal every moment confirming journey is itself the goal
