making choices

When it comes to making choices

there are ten thousand of them out there

and they become alarmingly deceiving

to the eye.

The point here is;

which one really heals your heartburn

and  quenches  your deep longing

and most of all 

what is your heart whispering to you?

your giving

You feed the homeless

Or give donation or charity.

Then you tell your mind what you’ve just done.

Then the mind wants something in return, you know,

such as publicity or a credit or fame

Or even if possible to erect

a statue  in your name.

My friend; -

Let your giving be a secret love affair your heart sings.

Not to collect credits nor to make news

Let your giving be like the evening breeze

that leaves no trails or like a morning sun

Shining on a green  meadow on the hill.

You're a spring season

Beloved -
You're a spring season emerging out of the snow;
I am a crazy eagle chasing the light
in your beautiful eyes.
I am a piece of land on a sidewalk;
You're passionate farmer.
You plant a seed of barley
and reap an explosion of  light. Then you spin it
into every garment all humans want to wear.
I am rosary in your hands. Your very touch
intoxicates me and turns me into a crystal.

sublime beauty

You glow with sublime beauty
when you're yourself
than when you try to be somebody else.
Have you seen a rose trying to be a sunflower?
Because this feels very natural to you.
mountains hold your secrets within their contours;
the skies breath your radiance constantly and
Vegetations contain your elegance
deep within their pores
when you stop trying to be
somebody else.

Your dream

Having a dream is not enough.
Let the sun shine
on your dream.
Let your dream wake up
and roar.

the sky bowing to the ocean

Knowing is not partial.
It is total. It is whole
it is not something you acquire
it is already there. It is the smile in every eye
we see, the aroma in every food that is being cooked,
the love in every ground we touch.
Knowing yourself also
means knowing all beings because
in your chest there is a song all
mouths sing. Inside of you there is light
pouring into all seeing.
As this poem moves through, I feel the sky bowing to
the ocean inside of me.

This whole idea of worrying too much

This whole idea of worrying too much,
thinking too much is a wastage.
It cannot even stop a thief from breaking
into your safe.

Your pressing need to do something,
To belong somewhere,
To be someone cannot solve a problem.
Only seeing with clarity, only melting into this mouth
Full of kindness, only standing naked
and dancing with the limbs that radiate love
can bring you closer to yourself.

My friendship with you

Most radiant being: -
My friendship with you
Is not hierarchical. It is not based on
any belief systems, gender or social status.
One cannot understand it with the mind.
It has no expiry date because time cannot enter here.
It is called seeing-looking with one heart;
drinking from the spring that never dries.

Bowing unto you

The heart laughs and
Dust of light
Scatter into the sun.
the way brooks vanish into the river
The way foams disappear into the sea.
Everyone I meet
In the body or
In spirit
Is a garden
In which I am sown,
In which I bloom
In which I grow.
Hands on my heart
Bowing unto you.

Be a hallway to a visitor

whatever feelings or waves of emotions
you suppress or resist,
be it joy or anger or sexual energy
It nags you constantly;
and wrecks your foundation;
and shakes your roots;
and steals you from life's eternal songs.
For whatever wants to show itself through you
For whatever wants to appear on your door
Be a doorway,
Be a window facing the sun.
Be a hallway to a visitor.

You're the one you've been waiting for

The one who loves you
smashes your ladder
and gives you wings
so that you can rise and touch
the sky of your heart.
She bakes bread from sunlight
and feeds your longing.
Then you know
you are the one you've been longing for.
you are the one, you have been waiting for.

oceanic heart

The light is so immense
and strong backbone
is not enough.
You need an oceanic, soft heart
that can hold it inside

How I praise the one

Dear one:-
Do you know that
You’re the gift, the giver
And the act of giving?
How I love the one;
How I bow to the one;
How I praise the one
who enters your life
and dismantles all the shackles and the mesh
and the safety nets built around you
and exposes you to your own beautiful smiles.
Now look
how the light emanating from you
playfully weaves into the face
of the full moon.

Reason

Reason is not complete on its own.
What opens our eyes in the early mornings
And fills them with sweet light;
why doors sing and open before we even touch them;
Then again, we stand on a bridge between light and
darkness and do not know which one to choose from.
Love emerges out of no where and says:
I know where you want to go.
come.

In the face of this knowingness

Whenever we meet someone
from the field of now
it is no longer someone.
we are meeting with ourselves.
We just entered the heart
and found a soul mate awaiting.
In the face of this knowingness;
In the eyes of this beauty;
The cycle of fear and competition
Dissolves immediately.

wisdom of pure presence

From the sun
I learn how to radiate light ---
From the sky
How to rise beyond time and space
How to be infinitely vast and limitless.
From the earth
... How to be abundant and loving
and passionate.
From the ocean
The wisdom of pure presence
and deep Listening
to myself.

The ocean

If you find yourself staggering so much
in this journey
it is because you’re clinging to a concept
That is either too frightened to smile
Or too educated to play like a child.
Let go of any ideas you're clinging to.
If anything can happen,
it is the plunging into the unknown vastness
and that will sure
take care of you.

The moment you touch me

The heart
Is swang wide wide open
And how it has grown so much, I cannot tell.
And I am no longer satisfied with facts
Or reasonable minds.
That is why, beloved one,
The moment you touch me ,
I melt

inner workings of the cosmos

Once
The awareness of who you are sweeps you by surprise,
Nothing in this world really matters much
and no one will make you feel miserable nor happy because
The inner workings of the cosmos will find you
With the utmost clarity.

path of light

The path of the light
Is not a drive through.
It is not driving around
It is not going under.
it is path within pathlessness.

It is plunging into the nucleus;
crashing into the barricade that
stands between the honey and
honey lovers.
It is touching formlessmess
within the form,
fiding the coral reefs
in the heart of the ocean-diver.

the wine of forgiveness

Someone
Who follows you and points his fingers
To your past follies is not free.
He is in a deep sleep galloping
on the horse of the past.
It is never too late
to touch him, wake him up
and offer him a cup filled with
the wine of forgiveness.

If you are smart enough

it is this simple.
if you're smart enough
fall in love with the one
who does not come and leave.

Ego is saying "Later".
Love says, "There is no such
thing called Later. I dwell in the NOW"
Ego wants to celebrate your mysteries,
your pain and your limits.
Love says
You have no limits.
Look inside. A candleflame burns within you
and your radiance transforms everything around you.
Ego says, 'Go out and do something, be famous.
be somebody"
Love says:
Do nothing. Be nothing. Just be be yourself.
Most of all BE, Just BE.

the dynamo of your life

You say
“I am tired.”
You say
“I am sick”
Take a moment and investigate
What lives inside these words.
The body can be tired
The body can get sick.
Life is never sick.
Life is never tired
you’re Not the body. Are you?
Stop looking for mystery.
You are the mystery yourself.
start the dynamo of your life
and listen to the waterfall
gushing inside you.
stretch and open the bones that are
locked inside you. Open your eyes
and watch the mountain throwing himself
onto the valley and saying
“swallow all of me, my dear.
I've always wanted to dissolve
into your beauty."

one truth

There is one truth that is
bowing to itself here.
You cannot hide from love.
She is too big to hide from
and her brilliance penetrates
everywhere.
and you cannot hide from yourself
can you?
So, stop running away and look how clouds turn
themselves into rain,
Look how trees return to their roots.
When you offer yourself fully to love’s embrace,
She will first remove your mask,
the veils of pretension.
Then she will deconstruct you completely
And empty you until the child within you
Starts giggling freely.

supreme intelligence

On the superficial depth
Trade routes, highways
and diplomacies might connect
states with states
countries with countries and
people with people.
Nothing wrong with that.
But the laws of supreme intelligence
also knows as Love
comb all beings together,
knit the filament of the cosmos
together and turn them into
one heart pulsating with
light.

You're on your way

You may know some times
and sometimes you may know
But you're on your way.
with each step you take
you make poems within poems
you are peeling banana within banana.
because you know the deeper
you move the sweeter it becomes.
So you keep moving.
On your way a snake stops you.
he blocks your way.
You look at him and smile with all your eyes and face,
the snake suddenly loses his venom and says to you:
May the light inside you guide your way!
May music follow you wherever you want to go!
You keep going. You cross the sea of thought
you cross the field of fear and worries.
You look around with a brand new eyes.
Then you want to sit there and relax.
Something very beautiful overtakes you.
It feels so damn good here!
even before you stretch your hands
you touch the face of God.
You feel her-his gentle hands in yours.

You ask her -him"Why is it so good to be here?
she-he looks at you with tender sweet eyes and would say:
here is where you started your journey.
You are home now.

thousand ways

There are
a thousand ways to help a friend.
The most beautiful one is
to help him clean his house
and wash his windows
and polish his mirrors
so that he can see better.
he can be more peaceful.
he can be in the present moment.
he can stay inside his room
for as long as he likes. 
he  can have enough room 
to sing and dance.

As soon as the child is in the neighborhood

As soon as
the child is in the neighborhood,
as soon as the teacher is in town,
as soon as the beloved is in the city,
We know it.
we know it immediately
because something inside us clicks wide open.
The heart inside us expands.
the bird inside us begins to sing
the wizard inside us comes alive
the flame inside us begins to burn.
The moon inside is awakens.
As soon as the child is in the neighborhood
we become that child and that child becomes
us.

where ever you are what ever you do

One day
a shepherd confronts with a starving tiger
who wanted to eat one of his precious sheep.
Instead of fighting with him, the shepherd sat
on a hill and played him a flute.
The tiger forgot his hunger, sat down
and listened with a lot of love in his eyes.

wherever you are,
whatever you do, there is nothing
in this planet that is not you.

underneath all forms you see,
there is you.
beneath all sounds you here
there is you
beneath all dances
there is you.

and for no reason, my dear friend,
be kind to yourself. Be passionate to yourself.
you will see right now
all beings, start dancing
in front of your eyes.

What inspires us

What inspires us,
what makes our wings grow,
what makes us make poetry,
we cannot understand
with the mind full of thought.
Beauty pulls us inside her divine secret
inside and inside and far deeper.
and who can resist that?
only when we surrender fully
we become the beauty
the beauty we ssing.

It is now time for you

You waste your energy
thinking and calculating cause and effect.
It is now time for you
to throw yourself
on the lap of the universe
and love and love and love
with every single strands of the
rope in your soul
until the lover and the beloved
become one.
Isn't that why you are here
now, my friend?

as soon as you touch the sun

It is like this -
Your desires flower
as soon as you touch the sun.
And then, you know what?
They melt. They truly melt away
and you're free.
How about that?
With your senses,
with your mind that is busy thinking,
you cannot know
where the sky begins and where
it ends.

Now stop thinking for a while
and touch the sun.
You're touching your own heart
disguised as the sun.
--

Let there be light

Let there be light.
Let the light be you.
Let there be love.
Let the love be you.
Let there be peace.
Let the peace be you.
Amen!

standing between two opposing forces

when the mind
finally finds stillness
and the soul catches holy fire,
you too, dear friend, can find the strength
to stand between two opposing forces
without praising nor criticizing
but pouring immense light and love
all around you.

a friend

A friend is not someone
who gives you a painkiller for your pain
and sends you away.
A friend is the one who helps
you heal your pain,
the one who shows you
how to turn your pain into light.

if you go out in the streets

if you go out in the streets
looking for faults,
there is plenty.
If you move inside looking for love,
there is plenty.
You see, my friend?

whichever way you choose
becomes your life.

Can you be more elegant than this?

You are already, naturally, the infinite tower of beauty, the epitaph of divine radiance, a sacred song pouring from the lips of the beloved.  The entire sky dwells inside of  you. The forest carries your essence within its leaves. The ocean roars in your ribs. The sun pours your light. So what more do you need my friend? Now, What someone says about you should not be your headache anymore and no more  working hard to get affirmation or acceptance from others. Can you be more divine that this? Can you be more elegant than this?

tower of love

Beautiful one: -

The tower of love

In my ribs

Is You.

The body that can  feel this beauty

becomes a delicious bread.

The ears that  can hear your melody

bloom like roses.

The eyes that can see you

sparkle like gems.

lion in the zoo

The deeper you move into the ground
the clearer the water becomes.
because this is a place of deep listening.
It is a place of love, place of no judgement.
as you move inside
It becomes very clear to you
If the lion roaring in your chest
is the real one
or the lion kept in the zoo.
