a date with the sun

It is easy to recognize the scent of pure love
No matter how far away it is.
For example like the moon I saw last night.
She was white like fresh milk, warm and very round.
She was heaving with complete presence.
You are very beautiful tonight. I said to her
while noone was listening
And wanted to find out the secret of this beauty.
She smiled and her smile melted the entire sky.
Then she said; I had a date with the sun today
and it was very divine.

something deep inside

Anyone,

Anything that tries to extinguish

Your light, only makes you shine

More brightly

Truly, thought cannot understand this -

There is something deep inside you

That cannot be touched or reduced.

the end of your pain

Whatever is kept deep

Inside of you, be sorrow or joy,
tension or discontent,

love will sweep you  away,
someday

and they will erupt and then
you will be free.

That will be the end of 
 your pain.

a thousand faces

We do small rituals on a regular basis
Such as making poems or chanting or going for a walk.
They all help us move closer to ourselves.
And oftentimes we feel elevated and turned on and our wings
Catch the fire of unending laughter
Because we see our own elegance, our own light, reflected on
a thousand faces.

Be a pointer

Let go of any desire
For dignity and power.
That multiplies your misery by tenfold.
Be a pointer. The streams have lost
Their way to the nearby sea.
Merge with the love that
moves through you.
Be a crack in the bakery
and let the smoke get out.
Be the openings in a mother's breasts
And pour endless volume of kindness.

whatever this heart wants me to do

Whatever
this heart wants me to do
I do.
The dance of the universe
is my dance as well.
Where I found content and harmony,
I found myself.

at the center of all things

at the center of all things
all beings and all forms
there is something real.
Something of deeper meaning.
when you walk away from this
you feel dizzy, lose balance, stagger and
fall and you tell your friends that
 you feel hopeless and confused
because you lost the formula of life.
Life listens and says back to you: -
Dear companion, I've no formula
Please  don't go away into the desert
Be patient and hang out with me.
You will know what love is.

You've the capacity to listen

You've the capacity to listen deeply,
the capacity to love like the sun
and light up all the faces of despair;
for those faces are your own face longing
for the beautiful one.
the million hands you hold are
your own hands wanting some warmth.
All the hushed voices want to surrender,
to this utter beauty
turning themselves into enchanted songs.

when you're tired of acting

I know, some day
when you are tired of acting,
you will leave the stage,
without looking back
and slowly walk towards the one,
towards your heart.
That is courage.

the cosmic home

When beauty speaks through you
it makes you ripe and
the heart expands enormously and becomes
the cosmic home
limitations dissolve and
boundaries crash
black and white, Muslim and Christian
Hindu and Buddhist --- are just outfits humans wear.
beneath all of   them there is  only
one  sweet voice
that keeps whispering, "I love you".

a flower

A flower can do this -
You can do it too.
Be a sweet fragrant
to everyone you meet.
See only abundance
not their shortage.

Lose the last grip of your control

lose
the last grip of your control
and listen. Every sound is the song of the earth.
Why shiver at the way the snake moves through
the grass? Isn't that too the dance of life?
If you watch closely, the ego is always
trying to close its windows and defending itself
against the moonlight because it is afraid
of dissolving any day.

we become whole again

True love,

When we touch it or it touches us,

liberates us from past and future.

Then it opens us,  makes us sing and dance.

 and we become whole again.

from the heart

The one
who lives from the heart,
the one lives in the heart
is fearless because he is
not afraid of being himself.
He breathes perfumed light
and his whole body speaks of love
and understanding
Instead of waiting for the sunrise
he becomes the sunrise.
He does not try to reach for the sky
He is the sky,
the one who lives
from the heart.

a person

When you are afraid of speaking the truth,
you call yourself a person.
That is only a garment the society has borrowed you.
You are more than that my friend and I have no words
to describe it.

You can still sing and dance.

No matter how engulfed you feel today
Remember the wizard inside you
That weaves all things together.
So that you can still shine.
You can still sing and dance.
Wherever you are
and whatever You do.

walking on a treadmill

Thinking
Is like walking on a treadmill.
It cannot take you anywhere further.
A running river washes the soil away
instead of Surging deeper into the ground.
Absolutely
You are not what you think you are
Because what you are is too deep,
Too beautiful and too vast to be
Penetrated by the stream of thought.

Whatever force

Whatever force
Has brought me here
And moved me through challenges
And showed me so much love
and kindness, I am deeply
grateful.

fear of the judgement day

It is not fear of the

Judgment day but

To see things

not as they appear,

 but as they are---

 without judging….

That is the sole purpose

of life, my dear friend.

Depth of the sea

If you are finding it difficult

To surf  the sea of life,

It is just because you are trying hard

To understand  the depth

of the sea

A rope-walker

like a rope-walker,
be fully present.
Love is the readiness
to be present.
It is not the skill
to stand in the market
and bargain for a price.
In this moment
no one wants to be a seller or
a buyer.

Pure language of intimacy

a leaf on a tree smiles
when she feels the nearness of 
a raindrop.
There is an intense pull here,
towards each other.
They join and start singing. 
That is a .
It is pure because 
they keep singing inside each other
Even when they fall to the ground.

you can touch the one

When your hands rest on your chest,
you can touch the one that
makes you sing and dance and laugh.
You can feel the one that keeps
intoxicating you.

Please come home

Relax and 
Let the wind blow you away and scatter you
like a pollen,
Feel your Expansion like a rock sitting in
the sun,
Turn off your piano
and listen to the ecstasy
of your heart.
have the courage
to feel a wildfire bursting inside you.
The mind might be scared but
that can accelerate the death of the old
and the rising of the new.
Then you know, you are Home.
Please come home

You are the change

You are not here to get used to change;
You are the change itself.
You are the flame of dynamism
that keeps bursting constantly,
spinning waves of light and
 distilling itself.

underneath the rubble

Accomplishment

Is not winning the spelling bee.

It is not to fit into

An establishment.

It is when you find this courage

To move your hands

and touch Gold underneath

the rubbles. -

the ability to see beauty

in the middle of a chaos.

Someone sweet has kissed us

Aren’t we so lucky my friend?

Someone sweet has kissed us in our eyes

 And there is so much richness

where we are now

because In side each being

There are poems and

galaxies and rubies

That have not yet been

shared with the world.

That is why the moon is full

As long as

We continue to interact with other human beings,

It is quite possible  that

there will be  silly mistakes and flaws

And even deep hurts.

That is why rivers keep singing while they flow.

That is why the moon is full some days
 and crecent other times;

To show us the strength and the fluidity

To rise beyond the terrains of the  ego

 And forgive ourselves and each other.

when you and I unite

Imagine

The magical moment

when a cow comes  home  in the evening,

after such a long separation

And unites with her  newborn;

the sea-full of unspoken radiance

and eyes brimming with a sweet longing

when the entire body

 wants to say something liberating

but does not know how it say it: -

Fragrant one,

This is what happens  

 when you and I unite.

I am not in charge any more

I am not in charge, any more.
Have I ever been?

Night comes and goes on its own.

Spring arrives and says

something delicious to a bare tree
because soon the tree begins to smile.

Growing up means not  clinging

To the things  that are time-bound,
that are perishable.

I  continune to sing and
Let the elegant one

take over and guide me

 through the wilderness.

How to cry with joy

Life

Does not impose obligations

or demand on you.

She is here not to make you happy

nor sad.

She is  here

to get drunk on her own fragrance.

If you want to grasp her with

Your endless thought,

You will continue to forget

How to cry with joy.

If you’ve priorities in your life

If you’ve priorities in your life

Such as raising a family or going to college

Or feeding the hungry,

Wake up from your sleep first.

 That experience alone can reduce

The state of human sorrow a great deal

Because you’ve stopped contributing to it any more.

Wake up my dear friend and look around;

You are the secret and the treasure

Engraved on the Egyptian pyramids.

Creating a space

deep inside of us,
each day, each moment,
Between the words we whisper,
Between kisses,
Even between longing for the radiant one --
This is an act of love, a journey we start
... on the path of kindness;
a gift we can ever give ourselves
And the entire world.See More

distilled and poured into one sacred cup

See what is happening my friend,
We're being naturally extracted, fermented
distilled and poured into one sacred cup.
That is why we are being fantastically tickled
by the lips of the beautiful one.

life knocks on the door

I ask,
Not begging desperately for alms,
Just ask,
Like a deep conversation with a friend; -
life knocks on the door and
hands me a jug full of her sweet nectar.

wild horses

why explain

The healing power of water

to the one Who is dying of thirst?

The way  wild horses

Gallop towards the river already

Tells us the mystery of

  sublime oneness.

extracted

See what is happening my friend,

We're being naturally extracted, fermented

distilled and poured into one sacred cup.

That is why we are being fantastically tickled

by the lips of the beautiful one.
