wordlessness

Some times intense
forgetfulness can help you
return to the state
of sheer wordlessness
and you start smelling God’s
perfume inside everyone
and everything -

every meeting

let every
meeting happen
from the field of
no boundaries -
the soul is
meeting itself
and enjoying itself
and making love
to itself directly -
when this happens
the world shines brighter
than a thousand moons .

you are truly yourself

The very moment
you recognize
what stops you
from being true
to yourself –
you are truly yourself
because the noticing
removes the barrier.

metaphor of life

When you look
at a circle
It does not begin anywhere
and it does not end anywhere –

when I look at you, dear friend,
you don't start anywhere
you don't end anywhere
 that is a metaphor for life itself
and life is what you are.

highest order of illumination

Life is not just
turning around you –
She is surging inside of you
and bursting into the
highest order of
illumination -

original impulse


when you say
to yourself ,
I am done with seeking --
i am truly done with searching ---
it is a proclamation that
you are now ready
to join with the force of life.
you are ready to dissolve
into light, which is your ,
original impulse,
 your true essence.

subscription drugs

Pain in the body
Is a useful pointer
When you sit with It
 and listen
Instead of  escaping
Into subscription drugs

sweet herbs


you keep trying
to approach life
through the door of intellect -
how is that working for you
dear friend?
why try to understand
mystery?
look how a stone
turns on and expands
when  it is

touched by warmth
and how our lips
turn into when we speak
kind words.

open your heart now

there is
no dogma
to believe in -
there is only
love to drink
and  experience
directly -
close the books
and open your
heart now.

the beauty you are


What if
the beauty
you are
 Cannot be said
 anymore?
the moment I want
to utter a word
I choke
and now I know
 whatever
is trying  to
explain
 this elegance
is a desire
 to control it.

 

Is a flower famous

Some people think
I am famous
because I have published
books of poems –
I smile and ask –
Is a flower famous
because it is deeply
In love with life?
The earth continues
to erupt with honey
and milk -
is she famous?
Are you famous
because whatever
happens around you
as no authority to
reduce you to fear?

eyes of the lover



The eyes of the
lover –
they are holy swords
that cut open whatever
Is closed with fear –
where the cutting open
becomes true freedom
and healing -

treasure hunters

I saw in the news, this morning
treasure hunters flocking
to the Yellowstone national park
looking for a multimillion dollar
missing gold -
They did not find it yet.
The truth is
They cannot find it because
It is not missing –
It is only hidden in their
very being
If they could only
look deep inside –

where else to go

No matter how many times
a child offends her mother,
he will come back to her again
and again for forgiveness
because he does not know where
else to go
and a mother forgivess
him again and again –
when loves comes alive
inside you and knows
itself, forgiveness is
not a difficult task
anymore.

soace meets the space

even when you speak
it does not matter -
you are the mystery
of silence where
space meets space -
the one who throws
himself on the lap of love
becomes love -

dancing with life


 I know
when
the time is right,
you
will toss
your worries
away
and start
dancing with
life.

nothing in this world


a fish pulled out water
can experiences intense confusion
and despair –
no matter how many
life- insurance  you have –
as long as you live miles
away from your heart –
nothing in this world
can satisfy you –

divorce from life


when
the body is here
and the mind
Is somewhere else
In time and space –
That is a fundamental
divorce from life.

out of a flower


The same way
a perfume comes
out of a flower,
you come out of
the deepest
Intention of life –...
You are a miraculous
Movement of waters that knows
Its path around
tight rocks and tangled
roots of human totality.

pulse of life


Plunge into
What you are
doing now.
whatever that
might be –
don’t think about
it nor look at your watch - -
that is the secret
of directing vanishing
into the pulse of life.

a rock hiding a diamond


This is hardly noticeable
unless you are looking
at it from inside –
whatever it is that
you are trying
to add to your life...
does not make
you more beautiful
or vibrant
it rather covers your
true essence -
like a rock hiding
a diamond inside it
or the cloud covering
the sun.

even from homey


even
from
honey –
one needs
to have
a break -

all things


Love sets no
criteria -
it moves
into that are open -
and it pours
out of all beings
that are open –

divine energy


The very minute
you stop holding onto
something you think
is of absolute necessity,
even to the concept of God –
you start dissolving
into the divine energy
of the universe.

true sound of life


There is
a music
eternally and softly
pouring
from a fountain
of your core –...
it is a true sound
of life -
When you listen
to it with all of your being
you will be encouraged
to take the risk of doing
want you really want.

more beautiful


this is the secret -
you are more
beautiful than
whatever
you are
trying to be –

more present

Do what makes you
more present –
things come and go –
be grateful.
this makes more sense
if you are going...
through a challenge –
say this too shall pass.
structures decay
before our eyes -
this is showing you
that there is really
nothing worth
clinging on to because
you have the energy
to circle around
your heart –



what you really want


This seems paradoxical –
when you no longer know
what you really want –
this is the awakening of
pure innocence and
something inside you...
has already realized its own
Sacredness –
You have given Permission
to the morning Sun to
rise and erupt inside your
being.

True love is not limited


When we love
What we are –
We are loving
the entire universe.
True love is not limited
to only few people or things –
It flows in all directions
and nourishes all things.

Feel what is penetrating


The mystery
to experience life
in her completeness
is to stop waiting
for something special
to happen –...
Plunge your spoon
into the soup in front
of you –
Feel what is penetrating -
dissolve into the one
Who is sitting by you –

the universe


you start glowing
like the moon
when you stop
seeking approval
outside of you and
vanish into your own...
essence -
the moment raindrops
disappear into the sea,
they are no longer drops
they are the universe.

a benediction


 

When you say
I love you to someone
the ego translates it as
I need you so that I want
to sleep with you ---
Remember that love...
Is not needy and it is free
from desire –
Love is a benediction
that knows Itself as the source
of all beings–
It is rain pouring down
without the help from the
clouds
The moon shines on everyone
but never says - you owe
me something for my kindness-

true meaning


It is love
that makes
the rough part
of a person smooth
and gentle.
Love makes us sing and
dance –
and we become the candle
and glow without oil.
If someone behaves insensitive...
to the environment or
other people ,
It is not because he is bad.
It is just because he did not
find the true meaning
of his life’s purpose.

inner music


It takes courage
and warm heart
to connect with people and
things around you –
but connecting with your
Inner music is a profound
affirmation life wants
to witness.

you and I


You and I
Can go inside
And find something
divinely sweet to do together –
why do you choose
to sit outside and argue
with rushing winds?

a friend


a friend
Is not just someone
Who agrees to what you say –
It is a ground on which you
become more aware of your
true nature -
it is a key that opens your window
to a direct moonlight –
a friend does not distract you
from your pain or fear or anger –
he encourages you to deal with them –

Whatever is happening

Relax!
Whatever is happening
Is happening not because
you are good or bad
it is happening
because it wants
to happen.

when the heart closes down




Only when the heart
closes down,
the door of fear
opens ----
There is no way
we can measure
the depth of this love
for it has no longitude
or latitude –
It has no shape or
Colors –
It has no curves
or grooves –
nor shores or
Contour –
Beloved friend -
I am talking about
your own nature that
you can hardly remember
now because you are
busy looking at
what is fleeting
before your eyes -

absolute trust



This is
going to make you
tremble or even
temporarily disoriented –
when you shift your gaze
from outward to the inward
movement -
you will touch a true
source of your strength.
You have now
Shown how to love
yourself with absolute
trust, with every single
cell in your being.

spilling towards love




The heart
That is wild
and untrained
and undivided ---
does not know
anything other
than spilling
towards love –
