The journey to homeland



Resistance is another name
For unrecognized fear.
Once you elect to barter
Resistance with fluidity,  you will find
The journey to homeland
Sweet like morning breeze.
You don’t even need to
Make any further trip to anywhere
 Because Laughter can easily find you
Where you already are.

your hallmark

Innocence
is not selective.
she does not evaluate.
she does not care
if you're a celebrity
or a blacksmith.
She is engraved
deep inside you
as your hallmark.

 

the regions of benediction

When
You extend friendship
to someone else,
Choose this to be
  From the regions of benediction,
This is the field that never expects
Anything in return.
It shines
not because someone
Appreciates it but because
It enjoys shining.

direct taste of love

It is not
The series of scholarly lectures
Nor second hand information about love
that waters our scorching soul -
It is rather the direct
taste of love itself
that leaves you utterly
 drunk
.

Men and women

Men and women
who are single
often wonder how to find someone who
Has is loving and kind and sweet
So that they can commit to the relationship.
what if they drop the search
and turn inwards
and love themselves more and more?
I can tell you
Something beautiful can arise.

vibrate

Vibrate.
Sing or whistle.
Bring your innocence
Into what you want
accomplish today.
Don’t anticipate
an outcome.
Don’t seek approval.
The inner teacher is not judgmental.
She-he is listening wholeheartedly
to direct you.

How much caffeine

How much caffeine,
How many alarm-clocks
Does a person need
to wake up?
Starless-moonless sky -
Does he say
He is abandoned?
Is he afraid of being alone?
Humans complain about nature
All the time.
They criticize and blame her
for everything.
Does criticism bother her?
This is not a question at all
Nor a test nor inspection.
It is a sound of a seed
breaking the ground to
smell the scent of
the sun.

beyond time and space

Beauty
that lies
beyond borders -
beyond politics and
beyond cultures and traditions
is the true expression of who you really are.
That is why we become speechless
when we recognize it.

If you're someone

If you're someone
who likes reading,
Calm your mind and
look at nature.
She is the most sacred
scripture the beloved
has ever composed.
inside a leaf or piece or rock
or even a dust
pulsate a thousand messages
of love and deep meaning.

I am grateful

I am grateful
because I am.
I am
given the capacity
to embrace
what comes and goes.
I am grateful -
Spring came and whispered
something delicious to the earth.

who knows what that is!
The earth is now singing.
Grass is beginning to grow.
The sun is glowing.
I just came back from my walk
without gloves or a hat.
I am grateful.

there is no shortage

Don't postpone
ecstasy.
Don't save joy
in your bank
account.
Drink it now.
All of it.

Because
there is no shortage.

how to shine

The way
the sun is shining right now
 has something to show us: -
how it is possible   to love
from the field of oneness -
how to shine and  be who you are
fearlessly.

How far is the path

Doubt asks: -
How far is the path
From here into the heart?
What is the distance
Between your two lips?
My dear friend,
Knowing yourself and
The essence of light
Are not two. They are one.
This is where a poison
Turns itself into a nectar
of aliveness.

There is nothing you cannot do

The world keeps pointing
To your limitations only and says
You cannot do this…
You cannot do that…
Don’t l believe, my friend.
And don’t listen.
From the field
of forgiveness,
from the place of union,
There is nothing
you cannot do.

You are inclusion

You
Are not conclusion.
You are inclusion.
You are not only
A contributor
And a contribution.
You are not
A consumer or
consumption
You are nourishment
And nutrition.

allowing


true allowing is
To let a butterfly
flirt with a flower
And be fully herself ,
to let rivers flow
into the seas of the heart -
to know the distance
Between you and God
does not really exist
and if at all it exists, it is
only in your thought --
After all
friend of the soul
Is the one who finds you
In the middle of a confusing life-conditions
and says,
listen, my dear friend!
Your conditions are not
real for they are the smoke
And You are fire.
You are fire that does not
Need oxygen or gasoline or
Wood.

what is already untrue

Only
what is already
manufactured,
what is already
  untrue
can be divided
and reduced
and jeopardized.

the voice of separation

when
the voice of fear,
the voice of separation and
the voice of wanting
is louder than the voice
of union and the voice of love,
you start to struggle so much.
it is an invitation extended to you
to wake up and return to your
natural state, to your sanity.
It means you've reached point
where you can no longer pretend
That all is well.
 

the fact that you're here

You may not have
Seen it with clear eyes -
The fact that
You are here now
In this moment
Is a miracle.
That is how goodness
Wanted to speak to us: -
That is exactly how abundance
Wanted to offer itself
To the world.

more deeply

Men and women
 who are single
 often wonder how to find someone who
Has is loving and kind and sweet
So that they can commit to the relationship.
what if they drop the search
and turn inwards, open their hearts
and love themselves more and more deeply?
I can tell you
Something beautiful can arise.

your own light

My dear friend,
Don’t you see
your own light
waiting to erupt
and Fill the hearth?
For how long
Are you going to hide
Behind your priest

 or your  guru?

wake up and roar

It really makes me wordless
To know everyone is a friend.
And yet the real friend is not
The one who helps you sleep
Forever and ever and snore;
A true companion is the one
Who helps you wake up
And roar.

the moist earth

I stepped on the moist earth
this morning and felt something
Unutterably sane.
I have been making love to the rain
all night long. the earth whispered to me.
What a real thing to hear! I said.
Don’t speak poetry to someone
who does not know
What it feels to be love. She said.
I felt gratitude and love pouring into
every thing.
Kabir is absolutely right when he said,
“Don’t open your diamonds in a
Vegetable market... .”
I went my way, the heart was
Singing wildly.

on the mental level



On mental level,
everybody talks about love.
the one who is thoroughly immersed
in goodness knows it and sings it.
His entire being glows like moonlight.
When you are around him,
you too start to dance
because he is a reminder
of a forgotten ecstasy.

deep pain of separation



Sometimes
It happens this way –
Those who’ve lost themselves
In their images have felt a deep pain of
Separation and are beginning to come
to our gathering,
A place where it is possible
To be real,
A place to join with life
And heal.

the urge to control



The sky is free from
the compulsive urge to control.
So he can smile with all his body
He can love with all his heart.
Whatever it is that
you want to do today,
Let your heart touch it.
In the background of
your doings,
the universe claps
her hands.

what the mind says



what the mind says
does not really matter
because it has always
an opinion.
Don't be afraid
to do whatever brings you
closer to who you are.
