inside everyone's eyes

How can we be grateful enough to the mystery that opened our eyes so that we can see God smiling inside everyone’s eyes!

your dancing heart

It is infinite drunkenness of nature when bees turn flowers into a wild honey - when you weave love out of your dancing heart, when you turn your doubt into celebration, that is a miracle. tell me, what is not possible for a true lover?

why wait

Why wait until the sun or the moon rise on the sky? look within. On the sky of your own heart there is pure and concentrated light. there is a divine Illumination inside every single particle of your being. Remember to turn it on daily.

truly human

in most cultures it is considered unethical, inappropriate and shameful to express and fully experience your feelings such as anger, joy sadness, fear ---- what is actually shameful is rejecting and avoiding them. the truth is when we embrace our feelings and forge true friendship with them, when we don’t hide or run away from them, when we don’t try to get rid of what is unpleasant and when we are not attached to what is pleasant, we maintain our sanity, we touch our true nature and become truly human.

searching for love

This whole thing is ridiculous - spending an enormous amount of energy searching for love - Isn’t every single fiber in your being spun from the energy of love? Don’t you hear the music of love flowing inside your whole body like the Nile? The good news is that you are always forgiven for looking for what has never been missing and for forgetting that life itself is an endless love-song and discoveries -

spilling water in the sand

why try to make the ego happy? You’re spilling water in the sand. the ego does not Know what happiness is because it has never experienced one and it continue to want more and to me demanding and actually its chief purpose on earth is interfere with your happiness, to stop the music of life.

Say Yes

Say yes to the seasons coming and going – welcome the autumn, the winter, the spring and the summer moving through your body. embrace all of them with the same energy. The force of the living universe wants to articulate within you... Your acceptance transcends all things.

path to wholeness

the path to wholeness is simply your readiness to dissolve into your true nature because your true nature is the emblem of wholeness itself and reality begins to live your life in all its daily-nightly expressions where life becomes truly a continuous adventure.

what you say does not matter

what you say does not matter - what you look does not matter – what you do for a living does not matter – how you behave does not matter - the position you hold in the world does not matter - none of these matter. what you are on the heart of your heart, who you are in the root of your root, in the soul of your soul continues to marvel me.

one more thing to throw away

awakening is not the end of spiritual practice – not at all. you look inside each day and there is one more thing to throw away - each day we hear a song we’ve never heard of before – each day we move a little deeper where the waters are more clear, where the music is more authentic and effortless -

two possibilities

when you feel yourself being pulled towards someone or something outside of you, there are two possibilities - something deep within you wants to open up, heal and flourish more deeply - or something inside of you is already fully grown and it is ready to release its fragrance and share itself abundantly.

Allow life to be a mystery

Practice to be as real and authentic as possible. Allow life to be a mystery Don’t try to learn too much. When failure comes your way, make it your guest. If pain wants to emerge allow it. If heartbroken, accept it Don’t take it personally and when you look inside you will find holes in your body. Now it is time for you to sing. it is time to dance. That is why a flute can sing it has discovered its holes and it has accepted them.

your job is important

I have no doubt about this - your relationships are important, your job is important, your education is important, your hobbies are important --- as long as they don’t take you away from your own heart-center, as long as they don’t obscure the light pouring from your inner being.

your fundamental goodness

Inside of us we have all that we need to handle any challenges – so my friend why do your fear? Why do you swing between the idea of losing and winning? your infinite divinity, your fundamental goodness does not fluctuate. It does not expire. It does not depend on external factors. So why do you worry my dear friend?

holy fire

This is what a true companion does – She-he helps you ignite a holy fire in the center of your chest so that it can burn any obstacles that prevents you from living with your full potential.

the details

be attached to nothing and nobody. don’t make yourself busy planning and scheduling .. your main responsibility is to accept this moment as it is. then the universe can take care of the details for you.

to touch your heart

My dear friends, I want to make something clear to you- whatever I share here with you on a regular basis is not to teach you anything new. please don’t make yourself busy learning. It is only to touch your heart and awaken your deepest longing -

cluster of consciousness

your body is a cluster of consciousness, a garden afire with God, it is the extension of the universe – entry into heaven itself- a balanced and quality life is the one that moves between Spirit and form –

have you noticed?

have you noticed the time you went to a far away place to rest and relax, to get away from hectic life but you regretted your going there and wished you were somewhere else and the mind continues to find faults everywhere you look? you continue to be restless and unsatisfied? this is simply because you've not yet found happiness and peace inside your own heart.

safe place

when you grow up in the environment that continues to tell you that you are not good enough or you are not enough, some day when you feel joy bursting inside of you, when you feel the moon rising inside your heart, you don't know how to handle it. you cannot be comfortable with who you are on the deepest level and so that you will squeeze yourself back into your mind where you think it is a safe place for you to hide.

become free

a very meaningful question you can ask yourself is not why terrible things can happen to you or anyone else. it is whether you choose to live with them or release them and become free.

supreme self

If everything we do is to discover our supreme self, and then share it with the world in the most courageous and tender way, our mission here on earth is accomplished.

daily song

for a mystic, for the one who’s awake, life is not work. It is not social agreement - It is not a duty - it is not a struggle - It is a daily song, It is a dance of the cosmos.

voice in your head

Whatever choice you make today – don’t depend on the voice in your head direct your inner light to it – ask your heart if it is going to bring smile to you and your environment. The heart is the dynamo of the infinite wisdom.

direct path

When an intense feeling arises inside you, this can be fear or deep sadness, don’t lose touch with it. don’t try to hide it or run away from it. Instead undress yourself and approach them the way lovers approach each other. hug and kiss them. they're great blessings and can be a direct path to your awakening.

empty tube

Do you ever feel that life is hard? do you become frustrated with the way things go? Do you feel exhausted and burnt out at times? If so it is just because whatever It is you are doing, you think you are the doer. You think you are in charge and you are very serious about it. The truth is that you are not the doer of what you are doing. Things are just being down through You. The supreme intelligence is doing things through you. Your job here is simply to allow it, to be a spaciousness, an empty tube through which days and nights pass. your task is to be the field on which the seeds of generosity are planted.

what is missing

You grew up in the world that wants you to focus on what is missing, what does not work and what is short so that you've always something to complain about when you meet someone. the truth is however, you are here because abundance wants to share it self fiercely - You’re here because tenderness wants to pour from the sky of your own heart like sweet rain in the early spring. You are here because gratitude wants to dance every time we sit together in silence.

by allowing, you become powerful

by suppressing or running away from what wants to emerge through you, you become small and fearful. by allowing, you become powerful because you’ve made peace with everything and everyone.

right action

right action can be generated at the right time and at the right place not from the self-serving egoic entity that wants to achieve something but from the place of supreme high, pure consciousness that does not expect any result in return.

stories after stories

You are not what your biography says about you. don’t encourage your mind to invent stories after stories. be drawn to whatever can empty you and stay here. You’ll realize that you are not actually what happens but a sacred ground on which all things happen.

move inside

all that is required is to move inside and touch your depth, you have a depth that the ego is afraid of. Move a little deeper and be familiar with your true essence - be deeply rooted in your heart - then there is nothing to wait for because you've met and honored this moment fully, with all her music and noise, without leaving anything out.

every time she sees you

love is not interested in what you've accomplished in the past. she is not interested in what you are planning in the future. she is only interested in you and every time she sees you lonely, worried and needy and lost in thought, she looks at you with eyes that are filled with sunlight and deep compassion and says, dear one, i am here only for you, i am here to tickle you and make you laugh. I am here to melt your worries, to erode your fear, to heal your wound and nourish you soul. I've given my whole self to you. what more do you want? what more do you want my dear friend?

your depth

If the environment In which you live cannot understand and support your depth don’t take it personally nor try to convince anyone. Continue to sing your song. Water is never in a rush to get somewhere. She moves into the crust of the earth slowing.

we can shine together

instead of competing and racing against each other, If our priority here on earth is to stay open and fearless, we can shine together brighter than thirty thousands suns.

deep enough

What if whatever it is that you have been waiting for in your life has already happened? Have you looked inside deep enough my dear companion?

smelling the eternal

Why focus so much on outside noise? by tasting and smelling the eternal, the divine flower bursting within you, you can be free from all fears

color does not matter

Your age does not matter, Your color does not matter, Your circumstance does not matter - your gender does not matter -- Life wants to be your true friend. She wants to work with you on the most intimate level if you meet this moment fully and openly because this moment is not time. it is life itself disguised as time.

little events

a vast ocean is composed of tiny little drops. honor the little events in your life. Your big days are woven out of them the same way a great embroidery is spun from little strings and yarns.

spam

Whoever has told you that you need more time to be enlightened has misguided you. It is a spam. Enlightenment does not need time. You may need more time, maybe even a thousand years to invent stories and write fiction about yourself and the world. time is an invisible wall between you and the beloved. How about if you just drop now the idea of achieving enlightenment because on the heart level you are already enlightened. There is something deep in you that is stable and whole and wants nothing from outside

the middle of the night

eyes are opening from inside – planetary consciousness is changing - millions are experiencing inner intoxication, inner shift and they cannot stop it even if they want– a shift from thinking to the awareness of thinking – from dreaming to presence and awakening– from fear to dissolving into love - from rejecting to allowing – the sun rises in the middle of the night inside your heart. What a miracle!

bringing presence

True compassion begins not by burning yourself up to save the world but by bringing presence to the little things you do on a daily basis such as for example being fully present when you walk from your bedroom to the rest room -

all suffering

We cannot explain why some humans have to go through so much suffering while some suffer lightly – anyway, all sufferings, big or small, all mistakes you have made in your life and all the challenges you face will eventually bring you closer to your true essence. remember that whatever emerges is a secret gift for awakening.

stop forcing anything

You’re the spontaneous dance of life and it is through you that the universe knows itself. stop forcing anything. Things happen naturally, without your interference. Return to the unrepeatable symphony in your being. It will show you how to let go of trying and be at ease with who you are.

land of milk and honey

There is something you need to remember again and again - your heart is the land of milk and honey – It is the farm where everything grows abundantly. Your heart is the birthplace of a ten thousand moons and milky ways -- If you cannot find peace here, if you cannot find love here, if you cannot find joy here, where else can you find it? the world cannot give you any of this. because it does not have one.

mother's energy

Mother’s energy is a unifying energy. It is infinite potentiality for healing. It is a nourishing presence. It is a sweet shelter. Happy mother’s day to all of you who are mothers and would- be- mothers and sisters -- May sanity and infinite tenderness continue to burst from inside your womb and calm the world.

fire of infinite grace

even after a very long spiritual practice, doing yoga, meditation and prayers, there are still many of us who struggle with our emotions and feelings. We still find it hard to stop Judging ourselves and others. We judge the way our body looks and how Someone behaves. We find it easy to offer advice to other people on how to embrace difficult times but when it comes our way, we hardly know what to do with it. We can show forgiveness and compassion to other people but we are not forgiving to ourselves or to someone who lives with us. This is just because it does not matter how refined and spiritual we think we are, we are not yet in communion with our inner-most being, we have not yet felt the fire of infinite grace blazing in our chest.

in her dreams

Life has seen you in her dreams so many times way before you came here in this form. She is not interested in your education or what you do for a living. She is interested in you. She is fiercely in love with your heart. so don’t be ashamed of being yourself my dear friend.

the only time

the only time you feel upset and agitated, fearful, worried and guilty--- is when you become removed from the ground of your true being, your inner pilgrimage and get entangled in the web of your mind pattern.

insane

he world can be turbulent. it can be noisy. don't criticize it nor run away from it. it is created by human mind that is noisy and insane. Be still and touch it with the tenderness in your being. Let your heart expand so that you can hold it inside your stability, within your infinite smile.

a master

a master does not control situations. she/he embraces this moment with all the things it holds inside it. this is called utter simplicity and grace.

gift from the unseen

When you treat every single moment as a precious gift from the unseen, (no matter what she holds inside her deep womb), your entire life becomes a silent retreat.

i was raw

for years, I was raw and doubtful and muddy --- Love arrived and polished and cooked and cleansed me. Grace came suddenly and opened my heart to the blazing sun.

avoiding obstacles

the conditioned mind continues to tell you that by avoiding obstacles you can easily achieve an everlasting happiness in your life. the truth is, your readiness to move through obstacles is what makes you smoother and brings you to the place of no-thought, to your eternal depth where true happiness already exists as yourself.

this morning around three

this morning around three, I was holding a child on my shoulder and walking in the house for nearly an hour. when I look a little inside, it was actually the child who was holding me within her infinite innocence.

around the bush

he way to love is direct and clear and your own heart is the window into the beloved's living room. why do you keep beating around the bush?

into herself

Love is patient and undersanding. She waits for you until you are free from your own ideas and images and beliefs --- then she will knock on your door to turn you into herself.

your need to be special

The most sacred thing that can ever happen to you is when your need to be special dissolves. then you will start to recognize something immensely precious in the very core of all human beings. that is the eternal formless, the true essence of who

pointer

Everything is a pointer. the moment of great silence shows we’re giving birth to infinity. the fragrance a flower pointers to our own inner perfume. Laugher happens to us when the mind stops chattering and we enter the region of grace.

names and places

Yes, you can work very hard to remember every little details of events and things and names and places -- so that you can get along with the people around you. but my dear friend, what is the point if you don’t remember who you are?

higherself

Any urge or need to be in a relationship with someone or something, be a person or a tree or a river - be physical or spiritual – be it consciously or unconsciously, it is an attempt and a deep longing to establish oneness with the higher self.

Someone who’s rude

Someone who’s rude, someone who hurts another human being touches me the same way as someone who’s tender and compassionate because I know someday when he/she wakes up to his/her own true nature the earth and the sky cannot hold his/her beaut

broken mirror

Watch out for this- by clinging to something the mind can trick you into believing that you are safe and strong. The truth is that you are being a fool and powerless because you are trying to look for your face inside a broken mirror. Remember! Only this moment is reliable. Look inside.

bottomless ocean

By thinking so much and stretching the mind you cannot be creative. Only repetitive thought happens again and again. creativity arises from deep inside, from the bottomless ocean, place where thought stops, the region of vast stillness where you can merge with your own inner intelligence.

this moment

There are some human beings who seem on the surface to be very happy, bubbly and very outgoing. They laugh easily and they’ve always something to say to someone but deep inside they harbor a lot of unhappiness and grief. This is because they don’t have the willingness to sit with themselves and look what is inside. They seem to get along with people easily but they cannot get along with themselves. they try very hard to forge friendship with someone but they are not friends with this moment. In fact this moment is their biggest enemy. There are certain things we can walk away from. In fact we can walk away from whatever does not serve our purpose. but can we walk away from the perfume of life? Can we walk away from who we are? Let’s turn inward and examine this sincerely.

touching the eternal

True wealth is not having twenty million dollars in your bank account. It is touching the eternal, the divine spaciousness deep within you.

the biggest challenge

the biggest challenge for humans is to meet each other without any agenda.

rainwater

Be silent. don’t turn on your mind. there is nothing to miss by being Still. allow this serenity to awash you like rainwater– a flower is waiting to burst in your heart.

your true essence

in the eyes of the world, you may not be a great mom - you may not be good girlfriend - you may not be a good dad. do you feel guilty about it? It is perfectly ok if you don’t fit anywhere, if you cannot play these roles. Your primary task is not role playing. It is rather to awaken to your true essence.

light in your heart

You can be skeptic about almost everything in the world. You can doubt the existence of whatever rises and falls – you can doubt your own perception about things around you – you can question everything you've learned. but how can you doubt who you really are? how can you doubt the light in your heart?

main source of human suffering

thought is the main source of human suffering. it does not matter if it is negative or positive thought. all are thought patterns that the mind produces endlessly. if you move above thought you will touch a region called Bliss. that is your original nature. what is what we experience when we meditate or simply become still.

your being

when something in your life goes terribly wrong, say, you lose your voice one day before your speaking engagement or someone very close to your heart dies on your wedding day --- it is normal for the mind to freak out. if you kindly look inside, nothing actually went wrong. only something happened that is not in your mind, something that you are not ready for. most things in this world are relative. Only one thing is of absolute importance. That is not a thing. It is your being. it is your inner intelligence, the ground out of which life grows.

divine spaciousness

There are times when words that come out of our mouth penetrate us like a gentle flame and we become moved and stimulated and inspired and even drunk because we feel so much power in the words. We feel deep compassion and tenderness that opens our heart, ignites fire inside us and heals the past wound. We smell sweet fragrance of life eruption inside and outside of us and suddenly we fall in love with everything including ourselves. The truth is It is not the words that move us beyond description. It is not just the words what warm our heart like morning sun, It is the divine spaciousness where they arise from, it is the infinity generosity of the beloved from where they come forth

there is a knowing

There is a knowing that does not need Images and concepts – it does not depend on what you’ve learned in the past. It is a direct merging and lovemaking with existence where in every life form you see your own reflection - you hear one music playing inside every heart – you see thousand birds flying with your wings – you step on a tiny rock and it breaks. God jumps out of it and smiles at you and says, I know you are looking for me. Be naked and empty now The sky is so elegant.

mental noise

Silence is not when you’ve nothing to say – it is rather when presence arises in your chest like a sweet waterfall and washes away the mental noise that separates you from your intoxicating fragrance.

private business

dust of words

True intelligence is not an IQ. it cannot be measured. it is the ocean that has no roof or floor or shore. it is an infinite depth. stay with this beauty my friend and be still. by talking without a break you cover this inner generosity with the dust of words.

breaking patterns

by breaking patterns, you can look into the hidden meaning of existence - that will be the beginning of clarity and the end of all fears.

no free lunch

They say there is no free lunch. The sun shines for free. does the moon charge you any thing for her dazzling smiles? trees erupt into a flower for free. the morning breeze that caresses your face like a lover is free. Rain pours for free. Life itself is free and unconditional and the whole universe is wild and intoxicating. What more do you want my friend?

madness into flowers

Be still and wake up inside this stillness and know yourself. turn madness into flowers.

quality time

there is no such thing as quality time. time cannot be quality. when we merge with the force of life and become awake, you've touched the eternal and time dissolves because it is not real in the first place.

you are peace

f you’ve an intimate conversation with yourself, you will realize that everyone and everything, the trees and all the leaves on the trees, the mountains and even tiny rocks in the abandoned streets, the sun and the rainbows and the winds and galaxies --- everyone and everything --- sincerely reminding you to drop anything that prevents you from being awake and fully present, to be still and know that you are peace.

struggle and stagger

Only being one with your heart, uniting with your true essence does not require effort. You are melting into the ocean of love. everything else wants you to struggle and stagger.

whatever is allowed

whatever is allowed, whatever is accepted and embraced cannot push you around and hold you back any more. you have no enemy. You are free.

Now is not time

to a friend who said, You talk about Now More often in your writings but Now passes quickly even before you finish a poem ----- and it is not now any more. What do you say to this? Now is not time It is aliveness. It is eternity. It is the ocean of ever-unfolding music. So many things come and go emotions come and go pain comes and go pleasure comes and go thought come and go. In fact Now is the only gift that never passes, the only thing now is real, eternal generosity of life itself.

between your two eyes

Bow to the space between your two eyes – the space between your breathes – the space between your partner – the space between your children the space between your friends – the space between the words you say – that is where the fountain of life surges forth to embrace you

the first thing you notice

When you wake up from dream state and look around, the first thing you notice is that everything looks different and the wall between you and everything else is not there anymore. then you begin to realize that all your problems and worries are not real.

going to into labor

Going into labor or being in great danger or experiencing orgasm can be a little death – the ultimate surrender, a great metaphor for letting go, a moment of total loss of control, even though it is short-lived, it is a glimpse into what we cannot explain with languages, entry into the door of bliss. If you could look at yourself when you experience orgasm, you cannot really tell if you are in great pain or great pleasure. Both can be the same. It is the total merging of heaven and earth, total melting. Life that is lived deeply, free from Mental commotion can be an every day orgasm, and every time we die a little, we melt and blossom a thousand times a

a child

A child does not live in the past or future. She/he is fully alert and present. She does not live out any aspect of life through mental screening. she lives fully. When you give her a new toy, she drops the old toy and plays with the new one. She is not attached to the old structure. She can only be attracted to one toy at a time. She does not multi-task. When two children meet, they start playing without any plan or purpose. they don’t sit down and exchange information. a child does not pretend - she tells the truth it does not matter if truth hurts you or not. When she feels like crying, She cries, when she is tired She sleeps. When she is hungry, She eats….

everything changes

A true lover is the one who does not hold onto anything, nor claims nor try to own anything– She-he knows everything changes.

another name for abundance

by simply observing how a bird sings from a tall tree in the early morning hours - by noticing how a new plant breaks the ground and emerges to smell sunlight - we can tell life is another name for abundance, a sacred pomegranate swollen with miracles.

only love stays with you

Everything else will come and go. only love stays with you. only grace stays with you as yourself.

concentrated love

whether you are aware or not, every heart is filled with concentrated love. otherwise life cannot have any business to do with you.

how beautiful you are

I want to be clear with your heart - I am not here to encourage you to dream - I am here to encourage You to wake up into a space Where all your stories fall away so that you can see with your own eyes how beautiful you are.

The soul is free

The soul is free Spirit is free the supreme intelligence is free. You are that freedom. don’t try to belong to anything or anyone. Don’t do anything that cleaves your beautiful wings.

here and everywhere

When you simply notice that the heart is a universal Warehouse of infinite elegance, immediately unconditional love awakens inside of you and you become like the sky - you are here and everywhere else at the same time. You will have the capacity to hold, to love and accept everyone as they are. By just being around you, people also start to be kind and loving because true love is like wine. it penetrates and intoxicates easily.

I love you

"When you say I love you to another person, the mind immediately wants to grasp it and misinterpret it. When there is no interpretation, you are actually confirming that you are at complete peace and feeling one with life at that moment and you’ve recognized that person as yourself.

discovery of the eternal

true courage is the discovery of the eternal, the Supreme intelligence ever-dancing within us. knowing that we are beyond death and birth and experiencing timelessness each moment.

television set

A true friend is not a television set She-he does not flood you with news. Her-his presence empties you.

past experience

Love is the only thing that does not require any past experience. It only requires you to be available, to be completely human, to be soft and open.

precious gift

Many people can bring you gifts but those are rare who can recognize you as a precious gift of life and a timeless treasure.

Rip your chest open

don't depend of your guru's words to be happy, nor on the holy scriptures nor on people's opinions about you - Rip your chest open and see what is inside. This will be beyond what you can ever imagine.

to be absent

because to be absent is to be secretly present, to be still is to sing with the deepest longing in your heart. to be crashed is also to return to the liquid miracle of existence, to spill and gush towards the true nature of your being. don't ever hesitate to move closer to the music in your starving eyes. you are activating a clean signpost in which a new silence moves through. even the darkest night cannot cover this timeless majesty.

the dream and dreamer

Why pay attention to the things that fall and rise? if your only homework is to awaken the dream and dreamer inside of you, that will be the end of all stories and the beginning of true freedom

invitation

Life is unstoppable invitation calling your name like a songbird at the peak hours of morning. Instead of doubting it, melt inside it. Allow it with all of your being. It is yourself returning to yourself. the source is meeting with the source. If you notice anything false Inside of you, look at it with eyes filled with love. that will become real again.

there is nothing to force

It is enough to know there is nothing to force, there is no button to push for everything unfolds on its own – only be patient. It is enough to be tickled and caressed and particularly be dazzled by the mystery of life.

layers of little storage

If you want to be fair and compassionate to yourself and everyone else, empty the layers of little storage in your mind every morning before you come out to meet the world so that whatever you see becomes fresh and clean and original.

perceived sense of time

when you dwell inside the perceived sense of time, you become limited and feel the heaviness of old-age each day. when you recognize the timeless mystic deep within your being, you touch the eternal.

whatever arises

whatever arises, whatever comes your way, when not interpreted, nor pushed away or given a name, it is music. listen. That is a great courage.

love has no favorites

love never chooses, it has no criteria, it has no favorites. in the eyes of love, gold is not superior to mud everything is an endless blessings.

The origin of all things

The origin of all things is inside, In all forms and colors. when you see the sun outside of you and follow her trails, her true location points towards your inner being. when your heart is wide open, the sun finds encouragement to move outside and shine without boundaries. this means, the sun is your own subtle and deeper dimension giving herself freely to the world.

escape from pain

You don’t have to escape from pain. that is what the whole world is trying to do and that is another suffering. if you simply recognize there is pain and learn how to sit with it, you two will make great companions.

noting to wait for

I have noting to wait for. everything is within me already, as an ever-pouring of infinite splendor, ever-flowering tree of life.

what everybody does

There is no doubt. People are going to like you when you do what everybody does, when you follow rules and instructions. The problem is you can never discover your true self and truly speaking there is nothing more hurting than being a stranger to your own true essence.

when bowing to someone

when bowing to someone or something, let it be from the place that knows the oneness of all things underneath all forms not from the field of fear and separation

when you love yourself

Be still

When doubt moves Into your body like a cloud, be still. When you don’t know what to do and where to go, be still. When you are overwhelmed, be still. When you feel vulnerable, be still. Only those who are willing to be united with their true essence are able to love.

You cannot be free

You cannot be free until you’ve opened up and released any part of you that has not been forgiven.

heaven

I have met so many people who work very hard hoping that their good deeds can take them to heaven some day in the future. I wish a had a better way of explaining to them that heaven is right here where their feet have touched the ground

in the beginning

in the beginning we were many. we were thousands. we were millions like stars in the sky of generosity. one day we gazed at each other and inside each others heart we saw something we could not say with words. we became silent and silence brought us close to each other and now we became one and we hold everything that is necessary for life like a rosebud holds light and air and the moon and the soil and laughter and pefume and fire -- inside of her. we hold everything that is precious.

mystical journey

three things you need for your mystical journey - the heart that is open and fearless - your ability to stay still in the face of great commotion and your willingness to let go of your belief and die into light.

soft and open

Love is the only thing that does not require any past experience. It only requires you to be available, to be soft and open.

God laughing

why do you think too much, my friend? Why try to remember too much? Let the mind be on its own and practice stillness. if you do that more often, you will hear God laughing from inside your chest.

open the door

when i see a friend request on my facebook, it feels like a guest is standing by the door - i open the door and let them in. i don't ask for their names. i don't ask if we've met before. i am not interested in their stories. i don't ask what city or country they come from. i don't ask what their religion or gender is. i know them through their heart and their deepest longing in their eyes. i know they have come here because they are being drawn to their own light. any meaningful hunger is the hunger for the ultimate self. hidden music in the heart. after all, everyone is trying his/her best to come home.

go inside of you

you might have spent a lot of money to attend a satsang or a spiritual gathering expecting to be enlightened. a good teacher however does not give a new information on how to survive very well.

lotus blooming in your chest

What does it mean to be a true friend? you asked. i responded, to be a lotus blooming in your chest. to be a deep glow in your sweet eyes - to be a hidden music in your lips and with a true friend you don't pick up a conversation from where you left the other day.

to be God

There are moments when your heart opens and expands fiercely and becomes swollen with brilliant light and rainbows and infinite fragrance of gratitude -- completely drunk on the timeless honey of life, a holy fire of grace consumes you and you forget your name and your address and everything you’ve known and it becomes easier for you to be God than to serve god.

incorruptibly stable

it is only until you open your heart to the honey flavored rain of love, to everyday gratitude that you feel wobbly and shaky and wiggly - it is possible you can even feel limited, helpless and separated outwardly. Once you discover the region in you that is timeless and incorruptibly stable and serene. you will find the courage to drop any illusion you are holding onto and your entire being begins to radiate like summer sky. the energy that pulls you down like gravity (the ego) melts or becomes transformed into a rosebush and it does not need babysitting anymore.

Birds fly effortlessly because they cling to nothing. You are not the part of the universe - you are the primordial energy of the universe. You have not come into the world - you've come out of it like a wild, sweet volcano. you are not on probation here on earth. you are here to live fully and adequately.

east and west

The difference between East and West - In the west when you say you are one with God, people around you would shout at you saying how dare you speak such blasphemy and they will crucify you. In the East when you say the same, they shout and scream with joy and congratulate you for your courage to discover yourself.

Ancient one, It is your presence, your capacity to forgive and your galvanizing lucidity that evokes brilliance out of the universe.

self-birthing

Love Is self-birthing, self-generating alchemical energy. It feeds itself to Those who are Open and it never dries. and no matter how much you feed on it It never makes you overweight. It moves endlessly and it is never tired.

a great work of masterpiece

a great work of masterpiece does not come from a repetitive mind pattern. it is birthed from the womb of pure consciousness, not by doing it faster but by slowing down and looking deeper where consciousness vibrates at the highest level. by slowing down,we are not doing less as the mind wants to believe, We are doing more. We are turning noise into music, quantity into quality.

moving deeper

snowflake

The most beautiful experience i had this afternoon was to watch a snowflake slowly dissolving and returning to earth, to the original mind. The snow did not argue nor resist. she did not panic. She was in a complete surrender and acceptance. what happened to her did not exactly destroy her. It was an invitation from the unseen for her transformation.

meet this moment

When you get up this morning contemplate on this - A very little requirement life wants for you is to meet this moment fully, without fear, without doubt or censorship - not leaving anything out – not judging or criticizing - - then all your little problems and worries will be taken care of because total acceptance and worry cannot live together in the same room

natural love

Today is a valentine’s day and so it goes like this - The most authentic humor is not when you laugh at others. It is when you laugh at yourself and the most is not loving others but loving yourself deeply because it is only when you love yourself in this way that you can love and contain others in your heart and in fact that kind of loving dissolves the word “others” because in the truest sense it comes from a place of fear and forgetfulness, a place of duality. This love is so wild and so true that the universe herself blushes at your presence. It is a love affair with your highest self, the infinite.

flow elegantly

how is it possible
for you to flow elegantly
like this?
I asked the river one morning.
You don’t even need
rest? how can you do it?
There is no fear in my heart.
This flowing is a mystery
to myself and when you
merge with the mystery,
anything is possible. 
you become endlessness,
the living signature of God.
She said.

more grounded

What if
You just knew
that what you are
is more real,
more grounded
and more stunning
than what you want
to achieve?

Guru

Someone who follows my writings said to me the other day that my poetry is helping her to rise from her childhood pain and discover her hidden innocence again. I am very grateful that is happening. She also wondered if I have a guru. I responded that I don’t have one particular guru. Everything that is not made my human hands is my teacher and every single day is a gift to move closer to yourself, an opportunity to delve deeper and touch the root where all things are connected. _/I\_
