JAPANI

If you are not a japani*
for sure your car could be
if not, your television is
if not, your motorcycle definitely is

at least check your phone
or maybe the stereo. Ah, now
your footwear-joothi**. That is it.

You may never have been to japan
no matter where you live, japan
has entered your life.

These gentle people, so unassuming,
humble and delicate in stature
and conduct. How do they manage
to invade everyone’s lives.

Their stoic silence is not of the
weak, their gentleness for sure
not weakness. Determined, Dogged
and Dignified. They stand in
Silent strength.

*Hindi, for a Japanese person
** Hindi, for footwear


Love and Grace,

Sadhguru

    Sadhguru remembers the old Raj Kapoor number  ”Mera Jhootha hai Japani” and wonderfully woven into his poem. Does their stillness and stoicism stem from the Buddhist and zen heritage?!

    Very well said Sadhguru. To a Japanese, the word ‘Anshinkan’ is so important that they place everything else below it. Simply translated in English, it means ‘Peace of Mind’. They truely hold this to the core of their heart for everything they do.
