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.

old consciousness
Leave
your old
consciousness
and enter
the door
of the new year.
be open
and empty
like a child.
allow life
to be
the circle
of endless
miracle.
the new year is
the awakening
bell deep
within you.
socially unacceptable
when you accept
what is socially
and psychologically
as well as
mentally
unacceptable,
your suffering
comes to an
end and your
life transforms
without a limit.
a truly awakened being
a truly
awakened being
does not walk around
with any labels any more.
she/her does not
identify with a place,

belief system.
She/he is the
white fire
burning in our heart,
the pulse of the
universe, the
alchemy that
turns clouds
into a sweet
rainfall.

the path to love
There is no
path to love.
why you keep
looking for it?
Even when you think
you’ve found it
it cannot take you
there because
It lacks freshness
and originality and
it cannot hold
your pure innocence,
the intensity of the fire
blazing inside
your chest.
move in the jungle
of not knowing
and you will
eventually
realize
that the
willingness
to love itself
is the path.
The courage
to fall into
your own
heart
is a divine
path.

like a dough
In the face
of a true love
darkness becomes
your bonfire,
Sorrow becomes
your daybreak.
it holds you
tenderly and squeezes you
like a dough and
mixes you with
everything that is
humanly impossible
until the world
of duality crumbles
and only one dance
remains.
the miracle
The miracle
is not hoping
to see
light at the
end of the tunnel.
The miracle is
to turn your eyes
inwards and see
the light
blazing inside
your chest,
in the heart
of your heart
and in the soul of
your soul.

The most beautiful book
The most
beautiful book
you can ever
read is the one
that has no
words inside
the pages –
the very moment
you open it,
the perfume
of deep silence
intoxicates
you like a holy
wine, leaving you
utterly
speechless.
the idea of awakening.
If you’re an awakened
human being and if you
think you’re responsible
for your awakening,
if you think you’ve made
it happen because you’re
special, you are not
awakened yet.
You are only playing
with the idea of
awakening.
whatever arises
within you,
You don’t initiate it.
You don’t make it happen.
It happens on its own.
It is the universe
reciting divine poetry
within you.

whatever you are doing
be with
whatever
you are doing.
when food is
in your mouth,
don’t chew
on your thoughts.
pay a full homage
to the food.
this is one
way of dissolving
into the fragrance
of life
turmoil and anarchy
embrace
turmoil
and anarchy
in your life.
Don’t be
afraid of
brokenness
until you
cannot break
anymore.
when the world
you already
know disintegrates,
a new blossom
emerges out
of pure
nothingness,
a new echo
of existence
that speaks
to you
with a particular
freshness
and
intimacy.

false identity
Appearance
is a false identity.
only in the streets,
people pretend to be
solid like statues.
Once they're moved,
once they're tickled,
once they're turned on,
they become water
and start flowing.
they start singing
like a flute.
their eyes start
twinkling like that
of a child.
they start melting
like snow.
the truth is,
when we're awake
we return to our
authentic nature.

maturity
maturity
is not about age.
It is not so
much learning
either –
it is the
willingness
to stop
looking for
happiness
outside
of you -
the courage
to be
comfortable
with yourself.
honoring yourself
Loving
and honoring
yourself begins when
when see yourself
as an infinite
ground of sanity,
a field of
endless intelligence -
not as a person
burdened with
continuous needs
and demands.
are you available?
You’re a magical
being,
an alchemist
and through you
life wants to
perform miracles,
she wants to give herself
without limitation.
she wants to
sing and dance –
through you
she wants to radiate
like bonfire in the
dark cave.
She wants to use
you in the most
subtle ways
that can heal and
transform
the world –
are you
open to her
invitation?
are you fearless
enough?
are you
ready
for her?
are you
available?

trying to explain
trying to
explain and
describe the
nature of love
can interrupt
the direct flow
of love into
your heart.
What is real
And deep
cannot be
explained with
thought.
It can only
be drunk in
and experienced
and felt
directly.
light in your body
the physical body
you've now is a gift
from your parents.
respect and honor
it without being
attached to it
and every time you look
in the mirror, remember
that your parents are
still with you even
when it looks on
the surface they're away.
remember also
more often
that the light in
your body is a divine
gift from beyond.
It is timeless and
unlimited. That is
your true essence.

Once You’re aware
Once
You’re aware,
Once
You’re awake,
Once you’re
ripped open,
you’ve no fear.
you’re penetrable
and accessible
and exposed
from any
direction and
at any
time.
If you’re moved to create
If you’re moved
to create,
let it be
from the field
of abundance,
the field within you
that continues
to pulsate with
love and generosity
not from a place
of need and lack,
a place that
wants recognition
and fame.
then everything
you create,
you are co-creating it
with the universe.
Apple meditation
APPLE MEDITATION
Before you rush to
devour your apple –
hold it in your soft palm -
be tender to the fruit as if you’re
holding the planet earth –
feel the apple with all of your
body. Feel its contours and
shiny and smooth skin,
feel its folds and ruffles,
its ups and downs, its
laughter
feel its glory and
its readiness to merge
with your body.
look at it again
as if looking into
the beloved’s eyes –
touch it as if touching
the warm hands of a friend.
feel it passionately.
make love to it.
smell it with all of
your body.
Slowly put it
in your mouth.
examine it with your lips
and tongue and with
every part of you.
ask yourself if you
are ready to bite it.
wait for seconds.
when the urge arises
bite into it gently. Pause.
taste its flavor kindly
and drink the juice
and chew the essence
very passionately.
Deeply join with
the fruit without
wanting to go anywhere.
as it goes down
your body, be grateful
for this, for the fruit
that gave itself to you
and for the earth
and soil
light and water and
air that gave
birth to it -
kiss its presence
with all of your
organs.

the secret
THE SECRET
“What is the secret
of your happiness?
I can tell that from your writings”
Someone said to me this afternoon.
It is simple and yet a profound question
because happiness is after all
what we all desire with every
single atom in our being –
so my answer is –
I don’t take myself
seriously,
like the sky,
I bless whatever comes
and goes and I don’t
try hard
for trying hard
is futile and
can drain
your energy -
and simplicity
is my language.
the idea of waking up.
Don’t flirt
with the idea of
waking up.
Just wake up
and no need to
go to the market -
there is
a healer
inside you –
there is summer
and spring and
fall and winter
inside you –
there is music
and light and
drunkenness
inside you.
the master
and the alchemist
are waiting inside you.
wake up and
see with your
own eyes -
you cannot
resist this
miracle.
nectar of paradise
You’ve immense strength
to live fully now.
why do you expect
the next moment
to bring you some
kind of fulfillment?
Why do you wait
so long to be happy?
Right here, in front
of you, there is a
sacred bowl
filled with a nectar
of paradise
that is ready
to overflow –
Take some action.
pick up a spoon
and dip it inside.
your fingers
work well too.

night and day
there is a night
that sparks with
great darkness,
a night that opens
and closes around
us like wings
and there is day
that holds a thousand
days inside its silence.
but the day and night
I speak of intimately
are the ones that glow
from within my ribs,
days and nights that
curl inside themselves
and labor with
new births.
gathering of true lovers
each day
we long to come
to this gathering of
true lovers
not because we want
to add something new to each other
nor to share information
but to embrace and raise to
the sun, the part of us
that we're most afraid of,
to bless the region inside us
that we want to cover
with stories.
like water
when words are
allowed to come from your
depth, not from your head,
they are like water -
their tenderness penetrates
the crust of the earth
and touch her holy womb
falling into your heart
even
falling
is a courage,
falling into
your heart.
you're falling
into your
innocence
Who you are
Who you
are on the
quantum
level
is so organic
and vast
and so elegant
that it cannot
be messed up
by any outside
events
you are the universe
you don’t
have to go far
if you want to
know the nature
of the universe
very closely,
sit with yourself
and listen and watch.
watch what is going on
inside and outside –
listen what is going
on inside and outside –
you will realize that
you are the universe itself –
your longing is
the longing of the
universe.
Your dance is the
dance of the universe.
Your laughter is the
laughter of the universe ---
You see dear friend?
the universe is exploring
itself through you.
the universe looks at itself
through your divine eyes.

true meditation
When
You finally gaze inside
and recognize
a stable ground within you
where you can truly rest,
you will find the courage
to stay open to whatever
arises without judgment
or criticism and allow
whatever comes and goes.
That is a true meditation.

openness
Openness
is the capacity
for deep listening
where everything
is allowed
to be your
teacher.

spiritual adventure
Every time
you find the
strength to let go,
every time you surrender,
that is a spiritual
adventure.
In the west
In the west
they don’t ask you
if you’re happy or not -
they don’t ask you
if you’re content or not -
they don’t ask you
If you’re peaceful or not –
They don’t ask you
how often do you laugh
or sing?
because that is not
a priority.
the priority is
what do you do for a living?
how much money do you make?
How much have you produced?
how many degrees do you’ve?
what kind of car do you drive? ----
deep forest
meeting with
a woman is like
entering a deep forest.
whether she knows
or not,
her heart throbs
with the silence
of the universe
while her soul
pulsates with
the music of the
entire cosmos.
diving into deep oceans
Upon diving into
deep oceans,
or climbing high
mountains –
the ego writes a book or
takes photos
for defeating nature –
the mystic
bows down to each of them
and asks their
forgiveness for annoying
their peace-
deep listening
Openness
is the capacity
for deep listening
where everything
and everyone
is allowed
to be your
teacher.

the slightest obstacle
As long as you have not
recognized the eternal,
a true potential deep
within you,
you think you
are small and limited
and perishable
and even the slightest
obstacle in your life
might seem larger than
the sky.
beyond words and thoughts
They ask me
who I am –
silence overtakes
and I become still.
this is the infinite
generosity
I can share
with you -
this silence.
What I am
in truth is
beyond words
and thoughts.
maps and boundaries
The same ego
that has created
maps and boundaries has also
built hierarchies between
humans so that we cannot
meet directly and innocently
and our interactions are
so superficial that they cannot
move beyond our daily needs
and survival strategies.
releasing your past
this can be one of the
greatest paradoxes of life –
if your childhood was messy,
it can only be cleaned up
by loving more and more,
by throwing yourself
into a warm torrent
of love and forgiveness –
by being fully present and alive
and staying close to what
can sustain us -
by releasing your past with all of
your strength –

how much you worry
It does not matter
how much you worry -
It does no to change
a single drop of what
is going to happen
or what has already
happened in the
past.
powerless
When you see someone
being unkind to you
remember that
the person is not unkind.
It is simply that she/he is feeling
powerless at that time,
so powerless that she/he
was not able to recognize
the ocean of kindness
deep inside of her/him.

return of the sacred
You are
not here to change
world population data.
You are here
because it is the
way the universe
promotes the return
of the sacred
through you.
pure gift
The very moment
you recognize the fountain
of love wafting
and surging within you,
you are being a pure
gift.
you're elevating so many
who have forgotten
to open their beautiful
eyes -
you are opening up like
a flower in spring and giving
your whole self to the world
around you.
living fearlessly
Don’t be
afraid of living
fearlessly and
dangerously.
that is the only way
you can move beyond
the mere husk of existence
and dive into the nectar
of life.
cyclone of love
like a tree -
live your own
life -
stay open to
whatever emerges.
let the light
around you
enter your soul.
Let the cyclone
of love
whip through
your
entire being.
