Dialogue with Baba

DIALOGUE WITH BABA.
I was discussing with Satya Sai Baba
About the word “Inspiration” in Russian VDOHNOVENIE.
 Derived from” VDOH -no”- breath- inhale
And “VENIE”- or “rvenie”- enthusiasm,
And Venus –planet –Goddess of  the love.
I said, that people can talk about daily chorus
 And health and pain of body, even soul.
About their jobs matters and family affairs and all
 In normal language or keep mum.
 But to write something special about the life, Science
 And soul experiences,
 We need an “inspiration“
 From God or from myself, from  “Inside.”
 So writing poetry is difficult;
 It needs all three: soul, mind and body participation,
To have creative mood and imagination.
 Then I gave example of my own,
 When good poems, written- born
About God and His creation;
About God Vayu(air) and the Moon;
 About the Sky, Stars and Gods:
 About another Gods of nature,
 Like water -God Varun

And earth and the highest Gods.

 But last few weeks
 I am so weak.
 With sleeping mind (the mind in Russian – Um).
 No inspiration- no Vdohnovenie!

And suddenly I had find,
That even about my sadness,
Critics, in poetic rhythm I write!
Amma sai 19.01.17
Now in Russian what I wrote at morning 19.01.17
