You don’t always have freedom <br />except one type of freedom- one <br />which nobody can take away from you <br />whatever situation you are into. <br /> <br />A freedom of choice-this is your own, <br />for the challenge that the situation has thrown <br />to either explode or coolly diffuse what's there <br />with no reaction but calm consideration. <br /> <br />So when you think of each choice, you <br />think of its consequences and the payoffs, <br />and how your heart feels from deep inside, <br />what your microscopic mind is asked to guide. <br /> <br />So you've got to think through your mind, <br />and tap your heart, too, for the correct decision. <br />And what the heart would say needs to ‘sync’ <br />with the mind's facts, as also the reason. <br /> <br />Looks Simple? But it’s not so. It’s Art, <br />for you can’t listen that easily to the heart <br />against the incessant noise of the mind: <br />you've got to get really, really smart! <br /> <br />What can you think in an utterly noisy and downright clamored street? <br />What can you hear but the tumultuous din except <br />the inaudible signals slipping in? <br /> <br />To put off the noise of regrets, anxiety and fear, <br />kick out the ghosts of the past and future; <br />The past is to serve as a sober guide, <br />the future is to take on the planning sphere. <br /> <br />You’ve got to live through the paradox <br />of non-doing the noise of thoughts, emotions, <br />but intensely doing only the present action <br />with no traces of any type of reaction. <br /> <br />@Copyright reserved by the author<br /><br />Amrit Rathi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ve-got-to-live-through-the-paradox/
