Chains of Life: A Question of Existence.


I found life chained,
Somewhere this chain was becoming heavy,
Somewhere this web of chains kept growing,
I wanted to break this chain.

The difficulty was that what was that chain,
And why were we chained?
Things had gotten so bad in life,
Never did this question come to mind why are we chained?

Never did this question come to mind who are we,
And where have we come from, why are we chained?
Why did no one tell us, what our existence is,
Where is our place, and where do we have to go?      

The curiosity of life kept increasing,
We kept getting entangled in the confusion,
Who tells whom the solution?
I found everyone getting entangled.

No one told me the secret of life,
No one solved my confusion,
A voice came from within the difficulty,
Who are we and where did we come from?
 
No one told us the deeper things of life,
I kept searching and it went deeper,
Who will tell us about the beginning and the end of this depth,
And who will explain where the beginning and the end are?      

We were very thirsty and our breath was being taken away,
Kept trying till the end, neither breath was left, nor thirst,
And who will show the way to the tell, who will show the way,
Because everyone is wandering here.

We found them also lost,
Who had reached the peak of knowledge,
Who used to give us the sparkle of expertise,
After a deep investigation, we found them also trapped.

Has anyone ever thought about why everyone is lost here,
Why is everyone here wandering,
Who has woven warp weft a web here,
Who has created this game of birth and death?               

Why is the spectacle of death going on, who has a vested interest in it,
Where is immortality, why is there coming and going,
People are coming and going, how many have thought about it,
Why is the spectacle of death going on, how many have understood it?

Why don't you ask questions to yourself or others,
Why don't you ask questions to learned people, what is the solution?
Do you think you will be saved if you hide your head in a bush like an ostrich?
Why is everyone here trapped in the bondage of karma?

Why has no one asked here,
Why do we have to eat, get up, sit and sleep,
Why do we have to go back after living a luxurious life,
Can anyone tell me why there are rich and poor here?         

Who created the game of thousands of differences,
Who created the game of high and low,
Who spread the net of discrimination here?
Who spread the net of hundreds.

Who created the game of caste, who spread this illusion,
I found everyone in the conflict of high and low,
Who created different types of castes,
Who created different types of games?

Why is everyone fighting here,
Everyone is searching for peace here,
Why is there so much commotion,
How many have thought about this seen?           

Who created this society,
Who created this tradition here,
Have you ever thought about this,
Who has trapped us in a double-edged sword?

Who created this web of sin and virtue,
Who created this world,
Who created this calculation,
Who runs this world?

Thousands of sounds heard the tune of separation,
It was a palace of happiness,
What happened in the eyelids,
Who made these happenings and non-happenings happen?        

Where is the limit of ego?
Where is the limit of illusion, attachment, greed and anger?
How far do the limits of the mind extend,
And how far do the fairy limits of thoughts extend?

Why have thoughts created a circle here,
Why have thoughts created an uproar here,
Why have thoughts tied so many people,
Why have thoughts set fire here?

Why don't people ever ask these questions,
Where are we living,
Why do we take birth here,
And then why do we die?            

Why don't people think,
Why is there so much fighting in the world,
Why are people fighting,
And what is the solution to this?

Why is there so much chaos,
Why are people living in foolishness,
Why is there this rush,
Why are people not trying to stop it?

Why are we being chased by a blind unconsciousness?
Why are people forced to live in filth?
Why are people not moving towards the light?
Why are people not able to understand the speed of the mind?

Who can know the speed of the mind?
Who can stop the speed of the mind?
Why did the speed of the mind create havoc?
Why did the speed of the mind create the world?
