a line cannot hold you

Ego draws a line around you and says: -
"Look at you!
You are special and separate. so act  and live
accordingly."
Love erases the distinction and says: -
That is not true. You are the cosmos. A line cannot hold you.
 a fence cannot hide you.
You are one with every one and everything.

The moon

The moon,
no matter how timid she is,
she cannot hide her beauty
from the world.

a flower
holds  a deep secret in her hormones
and you contain the majesty my tongue cannot speak of.

Oh radiant one!
look how my hands are flowering
just because they dreamed of holding you
This morning.

every time you are here

Every time you are here,
Life makes love to you passionately.
She invites you to stay inside her and
commune with her on the most intimate level.

On the days you are away,
She leaves you a beautiful note
that runs like this: -

Beloved one
... How I miss you today!
It is very important for you to be available,
to be here, to be absolutely open and transparent,
to be fully loving and tender so that the world
won't die of hunger.

life is flowing

Challenges might arise at times

and events  around you might seem frightening.

but life is perfectly flowing

birds are singing and trees

are blooming.

the ground that supports your body

is breathing frankincense

and myrrh.

calm your mind and

listen to this song. 

Your attention

so much is wanting
to grab your your attention right now.
forget the details dear one.
the lamp burning in your bosom
is too close to you,
too intimate,
too intense and too sweet
to ignore.

this is where I want to rest

It does not take long for the sun
to find your open heart
Then she descends quietly, penetrates you
and shouts:
Oh! this is where I want to rest
for the rest of my life. .

How long

how long does it take for the sun
to touch the ground and blow her a kiss?
How long does it take for a man to open
his eyes and see with love?
dear one.
we've waited for you so long
to stand naked and be yourself
so that we can merge with you totally
and turn together into an eternal flame.

Nothing is complicated

It is not complicated all.
Nothing is complicated when
you act naturally, when you are
inside your heart.
If you want a butterfly to
sit in the same room with you,
Stop chasing her.

deepest gratitude

They say in the news

or when friends meet for coffee;

someone died or someone is born.

Then the heart grieve and we move into

silence or break into sobs.

Be honest with yourself today:

don't you know someone who's

insanely attracted to death news

and traffic accidents?

Here is the thing: -

From where I am speaking now,

no one has died or  no one is born.

we are only taking turns

to remember and

show deepest gratitude

to the beloved.

touching the heart

If you are not  fully present,

sitting  in a rosebush does not show

you  the beauty you want to see

 because the mind  is asking

questions after questions:

Who owns this garden?

When did the roses start blooming?

Do they have names?

What is their names? 

This is called losing the self in the sea of forms.

But there is something deeper than this;

something more beautiful;

That is called touching the heart. 

If you are not here,

how can you touch the heart?

great separation

You are not a moist wood
and so you don't give off a smoke.
You are fire. You are a sparkle in the fire
You are a fluid constantly expanding.
but the very moment you start
debating with what is here,
you start to clot.
you start to corrode
you start gathering algae around you.
This prints a drama of
great separation in your mind.

complete love.

all that you see

could show you the way

back to your heart

when you see them

with complete love.

where do you begin

Dynasties  begin somewhere
 and  end somehwhere.
Dramas begin somewhere
and end somewhere.
Beloved:
what I don't know is;
where do you begin
and where do you end?

Great mystery

Don't rush

towards the depth of a great mystery.

you will find it extremely overwhelming or

you will lose your curiosity

too early.

Whatever wants to be seen,

 touched and felt

will reveal itself eventually.

You’re the portal

You gaze at the night sky and notice he has no pockets at all

 He is too alive to store  opinions and stories.
You marvel at how vast and tranquil he is!

On the ocean's belly, tides frolic.

They fall and rise and fall again. The ocean does not take it seriously.

He knows they will eventually enter his heart for rest.

An immense green hill emerges on your walk

 It is scented with sunflowers and dandelions.

Your lips part to say something but no words are spoken.

Look around. Everywhere is music

But my friend: Have you ever looked at yourself?

Have you ever looked into yourself? You’re the portal,

The entry gate, the passage into the most beautiful thing

You can ever imagine.

ocean

tell me dear friend

If you’ve you ever seen the ocean

begging for a glass of water.
Tell me.

There is already so much grace

Bursting deep in your being;

 so much elegance wanting to explode.

Your job is now

 to weave it into your everyday

 performance.

a lullaby

Just for a minute stop whatever you are doing and Feel the energy of all creation surging through you. Then you are no longer required to think too much and to worry too much because in the background you can now hear the universe singing you a lullaby:
"Come, come my sweet child come
and rest your head on my pillow.
I am here to take care of you."

speak to me

Speak to me
as the moon does,
as pure presence does.
not as fear or old pattern.
speak to me as a vulnerable child.
a single sip from your words
can remove congestions in my throat
and dispels all my confusions.

The husk

To know who you are
is not as deceiving as you think.
First
you need to return all that
you've been given,
all that you've borrowed.
we cannot see a grain of wheat clearly
until the husk around her
is thoroughly removed.

God's dream

when God’s dreams know themselves within you

you drop all your styles,

you forget religious jargons

 and get up and dance.

 as you start singing

the beauty of your eyes testify

this divine presence within you

and the wound of the earth

 starts to heal.

dawn

Look how sincerely
and passionately
a dawn holds an immense
silence deep within her.
That is how
hold you,
beloved friend.

hearts

We've now  tasted life's honey

as human beings.

What a joy!

Let's now experience

the remaining portion of life

as hearts.

from coast to coast

The sun pours light from horizon

to horizon, from coast to coast

but has she ever claimed it

even for a minute?

I am not the originator of these words

my job is to hold a mirror full of  unsayable elegance

on your face and say

Look! You're this.

eruption

friendship

With the radiant one

Brings your beauty forth

To the point that

you can no longer hide it

In your body.

The tree inside of you

Feels her entire leaves

Erupting into  a pure

ecstasy.

waiting room

Life

is not a waiting room in a clinic

where  the door is closed on you

and yet you keep waiting for your doctor

to come.

 

she is rather a sactuary, an altar of worship, the holy of holies

that contains the sky and the earth, the whole cosmos

and awash with a turqoise blue light and fresh scent

of flowering dafoddils.

 

If you are fearful,

if you are too careful,

if you worry about what people might say,

how can you break the chains around you

and surrender to light?

a traffic jam

Radiant one:

I've learned so many words but

non of them
 speak of your beauty
any more.
But I can sat this:
as soon your nearness was felt strongly
as soon as your hands touched me;

what seemed to be a traffic jam from inside
cleared away and
what seemed to be a  cloud in my mind
scattered.

only love remains

what breaks your heart
what sends fear down to your toes
also makes you move deeper
beyond the known
not with fear but with knowingness
where you can touch
a brilliant sun-bathed,
moon-saturated being.
Fear and all
that is not real
can hardly bear
this radiance
and so what happens?
They crumble away and melt.
Everything that is ego-created
Everything that is mind-constructed
dissolve.
only love remains.
only you remain.

planning to be happy

Everybody talks about happiness all the time and happiness is still in the plan. To be happy, they want to finish school first. They want to get a job first. They want to get a lover first. They want to have their own house first. They want to have babies first. You see? A lot of waiting going on here! After all is said and done, happiness is not to be found anywhere. So where is happiness? May be what life wants you to do is to feel the other way around. Be happy first and then everything you want will find you easily. Happiness is not just within you already; Happiness is not separate from you. Don’t wait. Feel the energy warehouse inside you. Smell its blooming lotus and get drunk completely on its aroma. Let your mind disappear into this beauty.

green wings

You're here now.
Let your purpose be
here now.
Let your heart's purpose
be to radiate love
and let the corner of the ground
 you touch grow
 green wings.

art of sharpening

As a child
I have learned the art of
sharpening a knife by rubbing it
against a rock.
Now I know Beings who met each other
Through the power of love
polish each other
with such precise brilliance.

lotusbud

A child is
a lotusbud
shooting out of your navel
a reminder coming to find you
in total stillness
Please don't give him
waters full of jargons and instructions,
waters drawn from
rivers of the past.

Life is HERE

Life is HERE
it is a flawless wagon
whistling and flowing constantly,
pumping itself into itself and expanding.
and that is you
That is your life.
You and your life are ONE.
Now the question is:
Who is sitting
in the front wheel?

something has brought you here

something
has brought you here,
beloved one.
this is a sweet mystery
 no tongue can speak.
may be the same thing
that brings music to the heart,
The same thing that sends
smoothness to a pearl
has brought you here

Love does not talk so much

Wrap your  arms  around

presence  and  kiss her passionately.

That is the beauty you know

Long before you took this form

or this name or that name.

If people ask you, what religion you are

or which God you worship

remember the moon

That glows brighter as the night

Arrives.

Love does not talk so much.

A flower continues to  give off its aroma

and it does not care if someone

is there to smell or not.
