श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – विदेह

बूझता हूँ पहेली-

कटोरे में कटोरा ;

पुत्र, पिता से गोरा,

भीतर झाँकता हूँ,

अपनी देह के भीतर

एक और देह पाता हूँ,

इस देह का भान

सांसारिक प्रश्नों को

कर देता है बौना,

अपनी आँख से

अपनी आँख में देखो,

देह से विदेह कर देता है

इस देह का होना…!

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

~ Bodiless Consciousness… ~ 

Was posed a puzzle –

‘Bowl in the bowl,

Son, fairer than father’;

I look deep inside,

Find another body

inside my body,

The consciousness of

this body dwarfs

the worldly questions,

Look into your eyes

with your own eyes,

The presence of this body

makes you separated

from the intrinsic body…!

~Pravin
