The Manifest Absence 2018
Nirakara…that which is without form or akara
It wants the wars,The bruises of the games,
Vanquished run with victors,
In the blood of these veins.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 36" x 36" (Square Painting)
Nirantara…that which is without interruption
Blame the scenic view,That the river didn't return.
Shouldn't have charted this course,
Shouldn't have taken that turn.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 36" x 36" (Square Painting)
Nirguna…that which is without qualities
For the late-comers to the long story,Let’s begin again, once more,
We have time on our side,
We have death at our door.
Medium: Size: (Square Painting)
Nishkama…that which is without desire
Feels just like the other day,When you said, enough.
Let’s walk away with today,
Let’s not want.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 36" x 36" (Square Painting)
Not Available
A Name
It will remain the same,The light, the colour;
The form and the flower,
Whatever be the name.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 36" x 36" (Square Painting)
Nivritti…that which is free
Not a circle of lightof a force unseen,
Just a loop of death,
With life caught in between.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nischala…that which does not move
Mirrors of nature,In the still waters of the mind.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nishabdha…that which is without sound
It will be a ‘may be,’If the universe answered back.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nishkruta…that which is free of action
To be, to become,To un-become.
Always to be
Sometimes.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nirvishesha…that which has no attributes
The mitotic symmetries,That fit the circles of life.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nirbheda…that which does not discriminate
Did the earth begin,Where the sky end?
Or was it just a poem,
That rhymed well?
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Kalpa Taru
On whose wish does the mind think?What directs the eye?
– Kena Upanishad
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Faith
The escape is always open,It’s that kind of a game.
It will take faith to be free,
It will take faith to be bound.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nirakula…that which is unaffected
Undone by timeall colours of kindness,
all roots of evil,
in the tree of life.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
Nama-Rupa…that with names and forms
Like the gold of a deep mine,The Manifest teases the open mind.
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24" x 24" (Square Painting)
