Dear friend:- You're here finally and I bow to the one that brought you here. You're here because you chose to be here at this time. You're here to celebrate beauty through words we speak, through deep silence. We might call them poetry or songs or chants. It does not matter what we call them. What matters most is you're here. These words come through us like flowers come through plants, like the rains pour from the sky. May we all become the light we spread, the beauty we speak. Blessings.

your own projection
if you cannot
find love in yourself,
if you cannot find peace
in yourself,
you cannot find it anywhere
in the world
because the world
is nothing other than
your own projection
eyes of love
whatever you see with
the eyes of fear contracts.
whatever you see with
the eyes of love becomes
sacred.
don't believe what you were
told as a child. your inner brilliance
knows that you are not a little creature.
You have not come from mud either.
You're a vast garden of endless fecundity,
a silk which secretly weaves the universe
together.
ruby and wine
My friend,
The world needs you more than
It needs ruby and wine and
moonlight in the evening.
Let me know when you are
done with sleep-walking so
that can swing by your house
to wake you up so that
there will be oneness with everything
that happens and we will join
like mother and fetus, like the
earth and a tree, breathing and
pulsating and moving together
and will actively participate
in any act that helps us move
beyond our five senses and
ignite the fire of infinite knowing
and learn together to fly tenderly
without wings.
flower of silence
there are moments
when nothing wants to be uttered but
a fragrant flower of silence.
don't run way from this grace
nor try to explain it.
Surrender to it fully.
It is the way of the divine
wanting to give you
a warm, dissolving hug.
stark aliveness
In the
State of stark aliveness
even what seems to
be man- made becomes
real.
You will become a child
and dare to do what
is forbidden in the eyes
of the world.
boundless
Whether you
are moving north
or south bound, you are
boundless and actually
you are moving within.
that is how the music
of God moves ---
deep within.

causing suffering
When you seldom
listen to your inner intelligence
what you really want in your life
may be unclear and while you try
to create a healthy environment
you may end up causing suffering
and pain in your relationships and
others.
to be awakened
to be awakened
is to be peaceful.
There is no conflict
in you.
anyone who is
around you becomes
liberated.
even for one second
even for one second,
don't ever regret
my dear friend
for walking away from
the environment that
cannot see brilliance
in your eyes nor can
feel a holy fire of creativity
blazing in your heart.
mind-stopping phenomenon
Nothing and nobody
can make you a better person.
nor education nor religion
nor advice nor workout ----
can improve you.
Look inside.
what you are on the
quentum level is
a mind-stopping phenomenon.
wild explosion
when you do something
because you simply
enjoy doing it and it is
your deep and unstoppable
passion, a wild explosion of inner volcano,
not because someone is going to admire it for
you or some result will come
out of it someday in the future ---
that will be a genuine fulfillment and
a true source of bliss.
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.
guilty
A person
Who gets in the habit of
blaming you and making you
feel guilty does not deserve your friendship
because she-her is not yet ready to mirror
your true nature.
Your friendship
Your friendship
with your heart,
your relationship with
this moment
can show your
relationship
with your life.
inside your openness
inside your
openness,
in your willingness
to let go,
life renews
itself
and
when
you look
without judgement,
no single
speck of
dust in the
universe is
in the wrong
spot.
love in yourself
if you cannot
find love in yourself,
if you cannot find peace
in yourself,
you cannot find it anywhere
in the world
because the world
is nothing other than
your own projection.
spontaneity
existence raises herself
into a divine poetry and
seducing laughter
and sweet music ---
when we live not from the
echo of past memory
but from this moment,
the sacred ground
of spontaneity.
you are here to LOVE
It is time for you
to know that
the universe
is aware of itself
through you -
As the sun
Is here to distribute light,
as a flower is here to heal
pain,
as the water is here
to quench deep thirst,
you are here
to love.
raw and wild
It was many years ago,
I said to life –
Show me how to love
you deeply and fully –
Drop your desire
to be on top of everything,
your need to be in control.
this moment is raw and wild.
You will break if you want
to control it.
Let go of your precious tomorrows
and your glorious past.
Don’t be afraid of being
yourself because that is the only
thing you can be good at.
You are the capacity for acceptance
even when you are betrayed or humiliated
or attacked --- that is the invitation
into your deeper self -----
I listened and I did what she said.
Something inside of me
melted into her infinite simplicity.
We held hands and flew to
the place we could not
see on the map.

truly in love
When you are
truly in love with
someone, a tree, a stone or
an insect - -
you are in love with God
because from deep inside
all things, no matter how
big or small they look,
they burn with the liquid flame
of God.
heart-pulsation
to experience in each day
and in each moment the
Holiness of all things,
to smell the scent of God
inside everything,
you need to raise your
heart-pulsation
to the level of God.
the only approval
if you want to be an
infinite illumination of life,
an ever glowing candle of
existence,
the only approval you need
is from your own heart and
if you get the chance to mention
your intention to the sun, she would smile
with her sweet eyes and say,
What a courage!
I do this all the time.
out of your mind
Some times when people say,
“You are out of your mind”
They mean you’ve gone mad.
Actually it is only by getting
out your mind that you can
become fully alive, you start
breathing life into your whole being.
It is like irrigating a dry land and
turning it into a fecund ground
of endless generosity.
By only moving beyond
your mind you can
move beyond all limitations
and become united with your heart,
where you can touch the divine,
where everything is fresh
and alive.
let your heart open
Stop seeking –
Release your accumulated
fear and let your heart open.
let your mind open.
let your hands open –
the sun and the forests
and the galaxies
will move through you.
in your heart the universe
knows itself as the Altar
of the divine knowing,
a place for timeless love.
most current incarnation
Whenever you’ve time,
Stay close to children –
they are the most current
Incarnation of pure light–
you are the carpenter
you are not so small.
you are
not held together
by a thin skin around
your body.
you are not the outcome
of the big bang.
you are the big bang.
you are not tables
and chairs.
you are the carpenter.
look at how water
can change its forms
and thickness and taste, how it can
dived deep into the secret of the ground
and move elegantly.
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.
to be kind
what does it
mean to be kind
to yourself?
it is to see yourself not as someone
who has to meet the expectation
and criteria of the world
but to feel a continuous glow of a holy fire
bursting inside your heart.
to see yourself as the very fabric
of life, the heart of existence,
the fullness and wholeness
of total joy.
hide and seek
What if you
are only playing
hide and seek
and pretending to
be in a deep sleep.
when you
gaze a little inside
your true nature has
always been
wide awake and
sparkling.
I love you
“I love you” is simply
a way of breathing.
What I really want to say
Is that you and I are one
and my soul and yours
love to dance together
in the open streets
of existence.
I looked at the sky last night
and saw the moon in love
with burning.
I looked at your face
and saw ten thousand
soft suns trembling with
endless serenity.
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
The only sensible way to dispense
love and heal each other’s brokenness
is by moving deeper into the uniting
force of mother energy, the original
seed, the universal umbilical cord
from where true nourishment
and generosity springs.
beneath anger
Here is a secret –
The universe is a huge system
of vibration, a thunderbolt
of a continuous spontaneity.
Move beyond your sensory
experiences and see what
really happen -
underneath the jungle of duality
there flows the water of oneness -
Beneath anger and confusion,
there is clarity and order.
Behind your whining
and dissatisfaction, there
is a song of gratitude.
When you think you are
lonely and abandoned,
You are already
one with everything
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\_
answers to all questions
I am not a very smart man
and I don’t have
answers to all questions
but I know when I become
Still and listen, when I love,
When I really love,
the soul of the
universe surges
through my entire being
like a sweet waterfall.

your urge to feel special
your continuous restlessness
to be somewhere
your urge to feel special,
your deep longing for friend
that is always here
your endless wanting for something
you cannot say --
all of these do not matter
to the inner being -
they will dissolve in the
holy fire of self-discovery-
what would be your response
when life goes down
on her trembling knees and
whispers
my friend, your association
with me is not enough.
Marry me now ... ?

sacred dough
Because
human beings forget
that they are fermented and baked
from a sacred dough called Love,
they spend their whole life
searching for it somewhere
outside of them.

fresh and real
A question for today -
As children we were fresh and real and very vibrant. When we become adults, we numb. What happened to us?
Answer –
Yes, a child is fully present and awake. She is also vulnerable to painful experiences. As she grows up, she wants
to survive emotionally. She wants safety and protection and so she eventually learns how to withdraw her full and undivided attention from the present moment and slowly avoids whatever life brings her. As a result her oneness with life comes to an end .

don't wait any longer
some times
a friend comes suddenly
and leaves us with a big
question -
don't wait any longer
for better days to come
or for something special
to happen -
Hope can be a fake friend.
melt now into the warm heart
of gratitude,
dissolve into this
love now.

is not the capacity
to compromise or control -
it is the ability to allow

the courage to

Let this be a poem
When you defend or react,
when you stop laughing
and start thinking with
all of your body----
you are not in the present moment –
your very nature is spontaneity,
not too much planning or strategizing –
Still your mind -
Practice love and forgiveness
and gratitude and simplicity --
in short Surrender to light.
Let this be a poem
you recite on daily basis.

truly in love with

you are in love with God
