A figment in my mind......

The search for perfection, We will never find,...... It's only a figment......,In our mind, This is the truth,......We must all realise, Until we reach inner realms, Where pure love and truth abide, So seek not dear traveller.......,Through time and space,... . Accept what has been given,.....With good grace..... ,For life is a cycle of re-birth,....Only hope exists, ..... In our lives on earth!!! ....... .... ....... Made this simple textured painting with acrylics on paper.... It is an expression of our minds ....hunt for perfection....its a symbolic representation.... Of our minds constant restlessness.... It also explains that ....in spite of having wings.... one should try to be closer....to the ground and be contented with what is given to us.....!!!!

The Devine

Krishna....my Muse....my inspiration....persuades me....to make his presence felt....to the world....I have created this line drawing on a black background....to to bring out his Divine presence..and  support.......in the dark phase of life.!!!
Shukl-amBara-dharam-Vishnum 
"Lord Vishnu who is wearing white dress"
"Lord Vishnu who is bearing/holding the pure spotless sky"
Shashi Varnam Chaturbhujam

"One who has Moon-colour and four hands"
Prasanna Vadanam Dhyayeth
"Mediate on the pleasant face" or
"Meditative, tranquil face"

Sarva Vignoba Shantaye 
Remove all obstacles and calm down"
  

So the full meaning of the sloka is

"Oh Lord Vishnu,
One who is holding the pure sky
One who has moon colour and four arms
One who has a pleasant face
I meditate on you,


Please remove all my obstacles and calm me down...... ....... ...... ...... ........ ....

'HIS' earthly existance.....


m
Every form ....has an expression....a message to be conveyed to the  world....for they all are evidence....of 'HIS' (the Almighty's) earthly existence.!!!
