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.

more starving
If you
are not satisfied
with yourself,
you are not going to be
satisfied with another
human being –
this happens when
you live in a society
that stimulates you
to eat the food that neither
nourishes your soul nor
opens your heart –
instead it makes you
even more starving
and you are always
wanting something
waxing and waning of the moon
Mountains teach us
to encounter difficulties
and inner tornadoes
with serenity and
patience -
with unshakable strength
and trust
they watch the cloud
spread around them -
they simply notice
the changing of seasons
and the rising and setting
of the sun -
the waxing and waning
of the moon - -
gaze inside
and imagine there is a
mountain sitting within you.
short supply
don’t be afraid –
move fiercely inside –
whatever comes
from the outer world
is in short supply.
Love does not compare
Love
does not compare
or compete.
It has no commentaries
or judgments.
It is fire,
a living flame-
and when you get
closer, it burns
everything that is not
real.

emblem of generosity
your higher self
is the emblem of
endless generosity –
it is the logo of a brilliant light.
remember this every day
and let everything you do
and say echo this grace –
let your heart
become the vast ocean
of love.
dropping an attachment
The idea of
dropping an attachment
can seem the most difficult
task to do for the mind –
it means dropping
something that generates
temporary happiness
and fulfillment
and yet when you notice
that you are clinging to
something or someone,
when you become aware
that you are addicted
to something,
It shows that your basic nature
is free. There is awareness
that sees the attachment –
there is light beginning
to emerge -

Who are you?
Since the time
I cannot remember,
you’ve been pretending
to be in deep sleep –
I know that your true essence
is fiercely awake
and alive –
I am sure of this -
you are not even close
to what you think
you are.
You walk with
the same feet Jesus
walked.
you see with the same
eyes the Buddha saw –
Who are you for
heaven’s sake?
Who are you?
deep knowing
When you know things,
You become knowledgeable.
when you know yourself
You become deep knowing itself
and light pours
into everything you do.
The light deep within you awakens
and ignites itself and everything
and everyone around you
can feel the eternal warmth.
All your woes
All your woes and
miseries come from
looking outside for
happiness –
when you show a little
willingness to go inside
and taste your own elegance,
they will scatter like frightened
cockroaches because they
were not real in the first place.
emptying yourself
the art of emptying yourself
on a regular basis –
at least once a day,
drop everything you
think you know –
give up everything that
you’ve heard and seen –
move beyond
your idea of right and wrong –
I am sure of this -
something sweet and
liberating will come
out of this.
Knowing yourself intellectually
Knowing yourself
intellectually or mentally
cannot rescue you
from suffering.
How content and
peaceful are you
in this life?
How intimate is your
relationship with
your own heart-center?
look inside and be
still until there is
no inside or outside.
when was the last time
when was the last
time you felt complete
and whole?
bring your energy
to this feeling again
and again and again
until this becomes
your true nature.
your inner eyes
Let your inner eyes
open and see
the beauty of life.
I wish you could
See your capacity to rise like
ten thousand suns –
a single lane branches out
into million paths
so that instead of
walking behind each other,
we walk together.
whenever kindness takes over
whenever kindness
takes over,
whenever love
takes over,
I’ve no doubt.
everything you do
delights God
and prison
walls everywhere
will come down.
Chicks break out
of the shells and
fly away into the
unknown.
A true teacher
A true teacher
is not the one who tries hard
to convince you that his teachings are more
important than other’s teachings.
A true teacher is the one who takes you
to a place where your inner world
meets your outer world.
That is where one can experience
balance, wisdom and companion.
That is where you can shine with
every single particle in your body.
You’re not a warehouse
You’re not a warehouse.
stop accumulating things.
leave all attachments
and identifications.
You’ll know what
freedom is.
deeper
Only by being still and
moving horizontally deeper,
you can touch the root
inside of you where
all things are
connected and
interconnected.
That brings the end
of separation.
a message
Do you remember
dear friend, when you
were sent out to this world
you were supposed to deliver
a message? Have you delivered
it yet? If you have not, may be
it is because you have been
destructed by the noise around you
or maybe you’ve been just busy trying
to survive –
the good news is that it is not
too late to participate in this music
life is playing.
If you don’t remember what message
to deliver, you cannot find
the answer from books or your
parents. Go deep inside and
listen to the innermost music.
It is there.
for a minute
Open your hands
for a minute and
let your worries dissipate
like cloud.
I assure you,
you are better off
without it.
the only true courage
The only true courage
is the courage to be who you
are on the deepest level,
the courage to stop adding
something to your mental image
in order to be someone important -
and by being so,
you’re encouraging
everyone around you to be
who they are -
the courage to be
fiercely alive and
truly human.
for how long?
for
how long
will you
wait
to love and
accept
yourself
with all
of your
faults and
imperfections?
Every lip movement
Every lip movement
is a desire for something
and every speech is a hunger
for the holy bread you already are.
Be still and listen.
your whole body
is pulsating with
divine music.
Polish all that does not shine.
Oh beloved!
this being
Human!
Polish all
that does not
shine.
remove
all
that
is
not
true
the physical world
Are you someone
who pays so much attention
to the physical world
or spend some time on a regular
basis working on the depth and
quality of your inner sanctuary?
Remember that your true strength
is not the need to control the way
things go. True strength is
actually your readiness
to be free from the
urge to control
the eyes of the world
When are you
going to stop looking
at yourself with the eyes
of the world?
It is now time to be tender
to yourself and
honor your sanity.
your divine nature,
your wholeness
is not negotiable.
only one thing
There
is one thing and
only one things truly
worth repeating ---
that is to love
again and again and again until
love becomes the house
you live in.
tension in your body
Tension in your body means
energy flow is blocked because
you are not available
to your body -
it means you are trying to stop
something from happening.
You’re trying to fix a vow
broken by someone.
You’re under pressure to
meet a deadline –
instead of allowing, you’re
fighting. You’re being pulled
in an opposite direction.
You are not aligned with
the dance of existence.
You are here but you
want to be there
direct entry
until you approach life as
a miraculous expression of
a divine love and gain a direct
entry into your heart –
it does not matter
how much material
wealth you accumulate,
you cannot find
true happiness."
like a road
Be like a road
that takes passengers
to their destinations but
does not end anywhere
and there is no place to reach.
you don’t have a destination.
you are a gypsy, an endless circle,
a continuous flow of life -
Please don't end this journey
you've not started it.
your ancient strength
Knowing that
nothing is lacking –
and
everything deep inside is
in a perfect state of self-coordination,
self-organizing and self-healing ----
is your primordial and ancient strength.
the human part of us
The human part
of us wants
to be seen –
it hungers to be heard,
it wants to be felt –
it wants to be
approached and held
with great intimacy -
as divine beings
we know what
we are the ones
who see,
we are the ones
who hear,
we are the ones
who feel the very
mystery residing
deep inside
of us and everywhere else.
that is a great
freedom
grateful
I am very grateful
for what has happened
and for what has not,
for what has come
and for what has left –
Yes, I swim in the sea
of gratitude
for all of these bring me
to a place of new
beginning.
whatever shows up
we’ve the capacity to
work with whatever shows up.
Don’t judge yourself
nor be ashamed for being
Jealous or angry –
don’t feel guilty for being
panic stricken –
It is still alright to be swamped
by grief or even depression –
these are the part of you
starving to be hugged
and embraced. They are
not evil. They are your visitors
and if you show then love
and compassion, they will not
come time and again to
bother you.
Remember that you are
the vast and shoreless sea
and they are ripples
on your face.
they are tides in
your infinite and
embracing eyes.
divine embrace
everything that has
ever happened in your life
has made you mature –
it has smoothed you -
it has encouraged you
to come here where
life holds you in
her divine embrace -
here, you’re never ashamed of
being yourself and
you never doubt the music
of grace erupting from
your magnificence

Spirit and form
your body is a bundle
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.
nature’s intelligence
f you’ve noticed closely,
nature’s intelligence is
spontaneous and effortless.
The Moon does not rehearse
to smile. She simply smiles.
Trees don’t work hard
to flower. They don’t
plan to flower.
A rose simply blooms.
She does not think
about it.
Birds don’t get any training to fly.
They just fly.
This is because nature’s
energy is woven together
by the divine force of love.
When you merge with
the energy of nature,
creativity and abundance
becomes your nature, and
it is effortless.
become free
a fundamental 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.
song of great stillness
In the civilization
that cannot stop
talking –
be willing to be a tender
soil out of which the song of
great stillness emerges -
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 early in the
morning even before
the day begins?
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
and you think you are responsible.
The truth is that you are
not the doer of what you are doing.
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.
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.
