When lovers sit together

When lovers sit together, there is no forever between them- there is only eternity – buried seeds part their lips to sing from underground - the mind becomes empty of stories - every single gaze in the eye brings new openings - All movement become stillness. time does not want to stay meaningless - It wants to transform Into a song –

scent of now

do you know why you are fragrant and sweet? because you are the scent of Now. if you hold a piece of stone, the stone will start singing in your hand. Don't ask why this happens. close your eyes and vanish into yourself.

With our ears

With our ears the cosmos hear – With our tongue the cosmos taste – With our eyes the cosmos see everything that holds us together – You are the thing that holds us together – you are the sweetness in our mouth when we feel the root of hunger - you are the road and the traveler – You are the music And the one who Plays music – You are honey as well as what makes the honey sweet -

without attachment

The moon look at the moon on a dark sky – look at the sky and the earth – look at a flower and a daybreak and worms coming out of the ground in spring – You ask me why they are so free and so vibrant and so alive – I can only tell you One thing out of many - they love without attachment.

in great danger

When you are not ready and willing to see another human being inside yourself and yourself in another human being, there is a noticeable fear of separation that makes you worry for your safety. It makes you worry that you are in great danger – It makes you think that the world is a dangerous place to live. It is this worry that in turn make you a gun owner so that You can protect yourself from another person.

words

No matter how elegant the words are – no matter how embroidered and rich they are – no matter how playful and tasty they are - they cannot reveal or touch the truth in fact too much words can cover up the emptiness of truth - no matter how articulate and persuasive the speaker is - words can only point to it - they can walk you closer to the entryway of truth – but they cannot enter - but they cannot on your behalf - It is up to you to gather your strength and walk in. sometimes be empty of words and allow the truth to remain naked.

permanent residence

do you know why you suffer? you live in a temporary world and yet you apply for a permanent residence and you become truly disappointed if it does not come in the mail.

to be remembered

f you give someone something, give something that endures – don’t give a flower for it dies nor money don’t give something that makes them remember you. give them something that makes them forget you and remember Who they are – don’t ever give to be remembered – give them your own breath, your presence – give them anything that pulls them towards the light in their eyes -

rest

here is my little prayer for you dear companion - may all this restlessness, all this insanity and all this rushing towards time be over soon and you and I will rest here and bloom in silence - even this night that you are running away from wants to hold you with deep respect when you are willing to rest. why waste your strength on something that cannot open your chest and make you softer? have you ever heard of this sweetness that remains in your heart after all other sweetness are washed out?

whatever you're afraid of

whatever you're afraid of, whatever you avoid is a part of you that wants to come closer and hug you for cleansing and total healing.

the heaviest burden

o live with regret is the heaviest burden one can ever carry. do flowers regret for being flowers? do animals feel bad for being animals? Only humans have the capacity to regret and that prevents us from living truly and deeply enough.

the only species

Humans are the only species on the planet spending their whole life looking for what has never been missing -

a friend

A friend Is a warm rain In the cold winter – You cannot know When she comes – She washes your doubt away – She washes your jealousy away – She washes your worries away – She washes your fear away – What is left you cannot Know with the mind – It is too beautiful to talk about it.

the music of now

you may not yet are done flirting with your past - The ego loves the past! and you still want to look at your photo albums because it brings you sweet memories from the good old days - it does not matter how painful the past was, the ego still wants to cling to it. and yet there is still fierce oneness between you and I because your resistance to life is only the image in your mind - deep in your chest, you are the music of now, wherever you are, Here is the only place you can be and all other places are inside here and now.

recycled information

between you and Jesus

single and formidable wall standing between you and the Buddha, between you and Jesus, the only barrier between you and God is your own mind. when the mind dissolves, not me, not you, not she not him but only God remains.

ring on God's finger

what is a medicine that heals all heartache? it is your complete surrender - your willingness to be still, your undivided presence - when all your limbs catch the flame of love and softness takes over - and then what shall we become? a candle? a freshly chopped garlic with wild honey, a road? a ring on God's finger a new silence or all?

the first light

toss all that cannot arouse your heart and tickle you. There are so many things you don’t need In this world or another – Close your eyes and consider yourself a soft whisper of existence, the arrival of the first light that we see in the morning when we open our eyes -

when you close your eyes

all this struggle to be someone other than who you are, comes from a place of hunger – have you seen a garden that goes begging for a piece of bread? You are a holly wine. Be drunk on yourself. I want to see myself in you when you close your eyes and smile -

self-discovery

It is easy to judge you dear one, for the mistakes you make - It is normal to criticize your faults and blunders and misconducts - but when seen from the place of love, you are not making faults you are simply on the path of self-discovery

stay awake

a true friend is not the one who convinces you to sleep and snore away the night together - it is rather the one who encourages you to stay awake together under a wild blue sky and look at the stars -

Your dissatisfaction

Your dissatisfaction with the intellect is the beginning of your awakening - something inside is inviting you to move deeper and discover there is something more

law of Karma

The law of Karma is not a law. It is only a belief in your head. It is prediction. It is hope – It is external pattern that continues to run your life as long as you believe in it - when you are awake, you are free and no past can dominate you. no karma, no fear of the past. Your Karma is a dark spot. an illusion. a chain around your neck - when your awareness shines on it, the chain breaks and you are free.

how many times

if you're a healer

if you are a healer, it is necessary to heal all of yourself first, before you heal the world.

creativity

when we talk about creativity, it does not mean to create something new – There is nothing to create – It just means to look inside and call on the splendor, the infinite resource that is hidden deep inside of you.

this silence

there are so many people around you who want to talk with you. there is no shortage. The world is full of languages - Even dogs sometimes howl at the moon - but the courageous ones who can sit with you and taste the nectar of this silence are few like rare stones

honey of wholeness

One has to be fully present to experience the absolute. to taste the honey of wholeness. you are under house arrest as long as you carry the past with you.

outer world

there is so much pain when all of your focus is invested on the outer world because you are paying so much attention to appearance not the essence - you are lost in the temporary manifestation of reality, not the reality itself.

unknown

The unknown is not really unknown - It is the part of you that is hidden and unspoken and unutterable, the region inside of you that cannot be touched with thought - the part of you that is not a part but whole.

don't look for a place

don't look for a place for yourself - there is no address that can contain your perfume. i wish i could find the right words to tell you the vastness of your heart - like winds you are here and everywhere.

heart of the Buddha

you've the eyes of Jesus and the heart of the Buddha - Come out at night in the open field where trees don't cover - let the moon and all the milky ways be shocked by your beauty -

On entertainment

A person who’s job is to entertain collective ego has no time to be himself. He is busy trying to come up with something different to make someone laugh but he himself lives in totally misery. Entertainment does not mean happiness. It is for people who want to run away from their unhappiness. If you’ve noticed closely, in a place where there is so much misery, there are so many entertainers and comedians. True happiness does not wait for a comedian. It is simply your true nature. It explodes inside you like a rose in spring. I am not saying that you don’t have to laugh. Laughter is necessary for your health but you don’t have to buy a ticket to laugh. You can laugh for no reason. People can call you weird but does not matter? you can laugh at your seriousness. you can also laugh at your foolishness. The universe itself is playful. God is playful like a child. Why are you so serious?

concept of God

When you go to the temples or shrines --- you can get closer to the concept Of God – But when you enter your own heart or when you look at a bird singing in your backyard when you listen to the rain --- or watch squirrels chasing each other on a tree branches, or when you see a flower opening to the morning smile, you are with God.

mask

When you remove your mask and look at what is in front of you, You cannot find fault anywhere – Everything and everyone is Irresistibly Beautiful.

anarchy

all paths are good, they are forged by someone going somewhere – but the path you need is the one that takes you to the center of your heart– the center that swallows all anarchy and holds everything together - that path can only be forged by you. That path is not Path. It is walking on fire.

NOW

"Someone asked a question On NOW - What is this now? Even before we finish saying the word, It is no longer now. It is gone. What is it dear friend? NOW is not gone. It is not gone because it did not Come from somewhere, It is not like waterfall that starts somewhere and ends somewhere – Now is not time. It is your breath – It is life itself. It does not move, It is still. It is everywhere And in everything so you cannot walk away from it. you cannot avoid it. you cannot hold onto it because it has no handle it has no color. It has no gender It has no inside or Outside. It has no sound. thought cannot touch it. it does not happen inside a particular time period. It is the song Of eternity. When you Approach time With the mind It breezes back Into time. It can turn into days and nights and years and thousands of years. It becomes past And future. It is not NOW Anymore. It is hidden Behind thought. It did go somewhere. It is always here. Even always does not Apply here. The eternal now Is here eternally For it has no age. Ageless and Timeless now."

when you give up

when you give up what is not you, what is you fills the world with sweet fragrance.

rest of your life

You cannot be happy for the rest of your life. there is no such thing as rest of your life. life is a resting ground and that is now and here. life is you.

True achievement

True achievement is when you’re completely Content with who you are and love the part of you that people are afraid to love.

turmoil

sit with the turmoil inside you – it is a teacher who stopped by to reveal something to you- experience it directly. By experiencing it, you move beyond it and it cannot diminish you- It is not permanent. Nothing is permanent. That is a great news – Only your true nature is permanent. the living Jesus Inside of you is permanent – the Buddha inside of you is permanent – everything else is brought to you because you needed to learn something at that very moment and then it pass and when it passes you don’t feel sad. You don’t miss it because you’ve experienced it deeply enough. Thank you my dear com

securrity

Belief might give you some security by belonging to a group so that you are not alone. but it does not give You happiness. It rather imposes fear of losing it when your belief is not strong enough, when you are not a firm believer – when you’ve direct experience with truth, you don’t need security. You don’t need protection – Deep inside you there Is a wizard that cannot be destroyed or wiped out - that is your true security. it is your true home.

heal your anger

The sea holds dolphins and jelly-fish and lobster --- in her deep secret. The same way you hold the earth and everything she grows inside your heart. it is not the earth that holds you - if you are someone who is continuously concerned about her wellbeing, don’t go outside to form committee and give talks and after talks. Be silent. Turn inside and start loving yourself until each and every cell in your body heals. Love every darkness inside your bones and never b tired of cleansing your inside. original approach to heal the world begins with healing your anger and your fear and your anxiety ----

hidden treasure

HIDDEN TREASURE I used to think that it is age that makes you ripe and bloom I thought it is so much learning so much learning that makes you whole – but it not really. It is rather the return to silence. Silence tears down the wall between you and everything else and makes you one with your own heart. the ocean begins to recognize you as a liquid majesty it holds – the moon lifts you towards her tenderness so that she can absorb your light. Humans stop digging for treasure – your silence is a hidden treasure.

your fundamental strength

your fundamental strength is not due to your everyday workout. It is not in the muscles or bones. Your fundamental strength is because of your unshakable Companionship with your Eternal self, your marriage with the mystery.

TOO SMALL

once you show willingness to live deeply, in all possible ways - not sideways but directly. you experience wholeness itself as your authentic essence. then the events around you don't concern you - your loss and gain become too small. your victories become too small. whatever you see with your eyes, whatever you hear with your ears, whatever you hold inside your body - you can easily let go. you can stand by the tower of eternity and bow to everything that passes before you.

one with life

As long as there is something that bothers you or angers you or irritates you or frightens you --- or something that makes you anxious -- as long as you are waiting for something special to happen for you you are not one with life.

don't blame

if someone makes you feel happy, don't throw a party - if someone makes you feel miserable, don't blame. after all, there is no someone, it is your own making.

bottled water

because you are accustomed to drinking a bottled water, you are always thirsty. be the ocean now.

winged daybreak

what is love? It is soft and winged daybreak waking up inside your sacred being like a lion and eventually the thin line between you and the daybreak fades away.

stories

If you don’t have stories to tell, If you are empty like a newborn – you can be boring in the eyes of the world – the ego is afraid of emptiness- the ego wants to fill an empty space with things - Ego cannot bear silence and people cannot bear your friendship. You know what dear companion? It is better to be On your own than to be in a company that is not real for you.

thank you

feelings and emotions, past and future are not mules – don’t ride on them. let them come and go without you. if they come to your door to offer you a lift, simply smile and Say thank you.

nothing belongs to you

You might know so much already about the world and you think that is not enough for you - but knowing that nothing actually belongs to you is the greatest knowing that can bring you to a place where peace is complete inside you. Even this sun you are chasing is not yours. Your own breath is not yours.

I said to a poem

I said to a poem coming through this evening - who are you and where do you come from? You're the sky and i am a medicine disguised as a warm rain. when i touch humans, their hands and hearts open when i touch the earth, her forest blooms.

lions and wild horses

I am the eternal warmth that radiates the world – I am father of all fathers and mother of all mothers – How do I know this? The sky grew out of my body The earth emerged out of by being The ocean and the waves, The milky ways and stars Rivers and deserts Came out of my presence And yet I claim nothing and nobody – I remain empty and clear – I play no role – I roam free in the forest of life with lions and wild horses.

wild honey

Presence clears traffic and opens a space inside you so that you Can have a direct and uninterrupted conversation with your heart.

Guru

people ask me again for ten thousand times who is your guru? i tell them ten thousand times - i don't have one particular guru - nature is my guru- the universe is my guru - the sky and the sun and the moon are my guru - this moment is my guru ---- everyone and everything is my guru ---

prisoners of the mind

if only for one moment you put down your ideas about life and God and enlightenment - if you drop your opinion and information about yourself and others – if you leave behind what you know about your parents and grandparents, if you give up your past and future and stop analyzing what is going to happen next - if you put on hold what you have done in the past and what you are planning to do in the future, if for just one second you are free from imaginations and concepts - if you are empty from your self-created fear and worries and expectations - the entire planet would have been raised to the holy mouth of the sun because at least for a moment the world is free from prisoners of the mind.

Catastrophe

a gift is not only when life goes according your plan - it is also when life does not go the way you want - Catastrophe accelerates your growth and ultimately wakes you up from dream.

main entrance

mere curiosity to know things is not enough - knowledge of the scriptures is not enough. burning is necessary to move closer to yourself. buyers have different needs and there can be many doors into the mall - the main entrance to the garden is only one. that is your own heart. look inside and be still dear one.

majesty hiding

deep inside a beggar's heart, there is a majesty hiding, as inside a rooster there is a falcon soaring above the gravity of existence - Move beyond a flitting appearance and touch what is real within you - like a needle and a thread, we're secretly joined and whatever it is you are hungry for, is also hungry for you.

deepest secret

when an innocent smile spreads across your face like a warm morning sun but you want to run away from it, you are trying to hide the deepest secret of life.

be deeply moved

be deeply moved where speech is of no importance and grammar cannot help.

inner stability

you don't have to be good at following rules - it is your beauty and inner stability and your spontaneity and simplicity that makes the outer world stable.

Churches become necessary

Churches become necessary. Temples become necessary Mosques become necessary Shrines become necessary When you no longer live inside your heart – when you are a stranger to your true self religions become important.

animals and plants

animals and plants are more peaceful and centered than humans for these qualities ---- they don't need approval for each other - they are empty of self image - they don't compete or compare - they don't agonize over what is gone - they don't pretend -- they are fully present -

in the village

in the village where everyone enjoys sleeping and snoring - the one that is awake and watches all the comings and goings is considered an Alien.

two lovers

two lovers can satisfy each other only when they are willing to experience the divine presence of the beloved deep within their hearts.

heavenly

Someone asked me “How do you know If a person loves you?” He or she will let you be who you truly are – If you want to leave She will let you go If you want to come She will let you come – Her door is always open – Sometime she does not even have a door – She is not discouraged by your behavior – she knows you are more than your behavior. She knows your heart holds the earth and the sky and the milky ways - so she does not try to improve you or own you. You feel completely free and whole and when you are with her you can do the things you would have done If you were alone – You look two on the surface. deep inside you are one. she truly loves you but she is not attached to you- true love is cleanser like a holy water - it empties you from all worries and fear - your togetherness is heavenly – your aloneness is heavenly.

Be awake

Be awake and amazed - watch everything that happens – whatever that is allow it to deepen your conversation with your own heart, to soften the part of you that wants to argue and complain, to polish your tongue so what you say does not hurt anyone -

Something ancient

Living meaningfully is one form of dance while rushing towards the future is a cosmic divorce. It is going to be just fine if you cannot meet deadlines – what if your everyday needs burn into ashes inside your gentle breath? Something ancient and Vast circles and sings around your heart. You see dear one? everything is asking you to be patient with yourself -

looking for a mountain

We only look for what is hiding - is love hiding? is God hiding? is Awareness hiding? is truth hiding -----? it looks like it is hiding because you have not opened your eyes or may be you were taught to look for it else where. you are looking for a mountain that is standing in front of you.

the way they are

if you look at things the way they are, without mental noise or your mind's interruption, everything is simply beautiful and in love with everything else -

Kingdom within

Awareness is the inner nectar, a glorious garden that does not depend on seasons - It is the Kingdom within. When you recognize this In your chest as your true nature, you become the king for there is no kingdom separate from the king.

fragrance of a rose

you are more than a person - you are more than your culture and your flag - the house they have built for you cannot hold you - fragrance of a rose cannot hold you - the light of the moon cannot hold you. your innocent gaze can tickle the forest - be used by the divine within you - let the ocean of love drink you up- that is the most natural offering ever -

without fear

live without fear so that whatever you look at becomes real, ripens and turns into spirit.

the thin line

what is love? It is soft and winged daybreak waking up inside your sacred being like a lion and eventually the thin line between you and the daybreak fades away.

dangerous light

No doubt - costume makers don’t go out of business for the world loves costumes. that is how you can hide the sacred truth within, the dangerous light that you are – and every one feels safe.

sing

I was hungry for attention – I wanted to be noticed and admired for what I do– a friend arrived and turned me into wine – He curved my tongue into a flute – Now all I do every day is sing. I want this to happen to you again and again.

music of life

You might want to come back to the market again and again to buy more time - that is what many people do- They don’t mind paying so much. at the end of the day you will realize that there is no end of the day or night – There is no beginning either – There is no time. There is only constantly flowing music of life and you are that music of life.

source of delight

give up being self-absorbed – stay open and let elegance distract you. Let this warm rain of abundance make you wet. Close your eyes and allow laughter to lead you – don’t be quick to get somewhere – you yourself are the source of delight.

sound of love

I walk through the crowd every day and I’ve never run into a stranger - Everyone is myself wearing different bodies - I have finally come to a place Where the sound of love burns boundaries – Only few who hide from themselves give their back to the full moon glowing from the heart of the sky. -

skimmed milk and donuts

My soul is very shy but when you touch me it starts dancing – Now my love wants to run wild and soar beyond heaves and caress the face of eternity. I am just a drunk lover - please don’t take my words seriously even though they taste better than skimmed milk and donuts.

sometimes

Sometimes we need to have a friend who’s drunk so drunk that he is not afraid of telling the truth – a friend who looks in our eyes and says – You are more sacred than anything that changes its forms and colors - you’re more beautiful than anything that comes and leaves even Orgasm.

only then

everything you crave for is a hidden longing for a deep friend. it is a longing for the sun that wants to spill out through your soft and passionate eyes – Be silent and Feel this love. only then you can start singing.

deep enough

Everyday human beings travel to distant place on pilgrimage just to be closer to wholeness. If they looked inside Deep enough, they could have seen Bethlehem and Mecca and Arunachala and the Shrine of the Bab --- silently flowering deep inside of their chests.

turning inside

It is not lecturing about God or explaining theology that heals our ancestral wounds - it is turning inside, turning inside again until we touch what is eternal within us.

pure nectar

why satisfied with your hourly compensation and the knowledge you borrowed from the world? none of these can guarantee you a true happiness - move deeper my friend - there is an unadulterated and pure nectar waiting to be tasted and experienced fully.

the perfume

at least once a day look at your body and be grateful for it holds a perfume from the absolute and the perfume holds the entire cosmos.

listen to the rain

Why talk to me about enlightenment or an altered state or bliss? Don’t have you have other things to say? Or cannot you just be silent for a minute and listen to the rain? look at how the wind picks up a dry leaf to play with it - or how a baby next door bursts with aliveness for no reason – look at how the moon is more beautiful as darkness around her grows deeper. Then what do you call this thing that blazes inside of you like a thousand milky ways even when your body is exhausted and in deep sleep?

being compassionate

how do you know you are awake? you don't get weary of being compassionate towards all things including yourself - whatever name you're given, it cannot contain you. you are too large to fit anywhere. it is not you who is thirsty for water - it is water that is thirsty for you.

dance floor

marriage becomes authentic 0nly when you’re able to see the person you’ve married as a lit candle and music and a dance floor in your heart

trembling galaxy

If a close friend abandons you, sing. If someone becomes rude to you, smile as if he just uttered the most beautiful word you ever have heard. If you are sad, merge with your sadness and dance – it is not your reputation or pride that makes God a reality – it is your humility, way you open, when tenderness touches you. Remember dear one you are a trembling galaxy pretending to be a person - You are the secret the sky holds during early morning hours.

I taste God

look how this liquid darkness, this ordeal you've swallowed --- how you smile at everything that comes to you --- has awakened the dream inside you – has aroused the music in your heart - how this fire of gratitude has licked your whole being and turned you into a sweet angel – I don’t have to go to the forests now. Just by looking at you, I taste God in your eyes –

love poems

Our true nature is to be present – not to be lost in the noise of our conditioning – look how every single atom on earth quivers with love! how a flower opens her blouse when the sun is around – aren’t we all here to dissolve into each other? the mask humans wear does not tell the truth. in reality we don’t need to read love poems. we are love poems.

ten thousand suns

Why speak of hope? Your presence shines brighter than ten thousand suns burning together.

beyond time and seasons

Fall has arrived and leaves are falling – by dying they go beyond time and seasons - by falling they purify their souls.

unexpected wholeness

Do you know what true kindness is? to be certain of nothing ---- and to be nothing, to cooperate with whatever wants to unfold -- to look in the mirror and notice unexpected wholeness inside your eyes -

every drunkenness

If you want to be authentic, talk to a friend without knowing what to say – that is what flowers do with the sun during the day and with the moon at midnight – this is called longing, when roots move deeper into the soul. plants turn towards light – I move inside to be with the beloved where light holds all darkness and every drunkenness is sobriety.

grace

See everything as grace - grace is not always pleasant. It can also be fierce - when rough time comes, it has no intention to hurt you or reduce you. It only wants to open your heart and mind so that you can live deeply and love fearlessly.

this place

Don’t leave this place, where you are now, searching for something more profitable – look how all religions, the trees and the flowers want to see themselves inside your sacred eyes -

the wind

Sometimes the winds want to do us a great favor – they blow away what we’ve stored in the past – they gracefully come and scatter what we’ve said yesterday so that we can start from the beginning each day we get up - we gaze at each other and whisper new words each morning and we start to see the world with new eyes and begin loving from the new dimension we just discovered -

empty jar

If you are not already an empty and naked jar, how do you want to be filled with joy!

noise and silence

We are in the world where noise is more respected than silence - You come out of silence – everything comes out of silence - live in such a way that your being here on planet earth does not disturb silence but intensifies it.

your capacity to rise

I wish you could see your capacity to rise like ten thousand suns – Let your inner eyes open and see the beauty of life. a single lane branches out into million paths so that instead of walking behind each other, we walk together.

enough presence

a storm of tension and anxiety and fear and worry --- arise in you to show you that there is not enough presence inside of you, there is not enough love ignited inside of your chest -

a magnificence within me

You can give it a name but I know there is a magnificence within me that does not judge no analyze, it does not hate or like, it is not attached or afraid it does not praise or curse, it does not try to entertain or walk away from it is not hypnotized nor feel indifferent it does not try to please but observes whatever comes and leaves.

turmoil in the world

the chaos and turmoil in the world can be solved not by forming committees or hosting conferences and symposiums but by simply understanding our true nature -

pushing something away

You’ve a headache because you’re pushing something away – you want to be in control - you want all things to go your way – you want the river to move faster than its natural flow – you want to make a baby sleep with the whole sky glowing in her body – you see, you’ve created your pain because you are not allowing.

Anything can happen

Anything can happen anywhere but they cannot affect you any more when you commit yourself to the absolute reality of who you are - when you awaken to your nature – when you offer yourself to the energy of life - nothing really matters at all because there is power that knows how to handle things not by manipulating or controlling but by simply observing it, by accepting it.

break open

Hard times that seem at first to break you into pieces don’t actually break you. They only help you break open like flower that is starving for sunlight and its own fragrance and once you're broken open, you will see that all your challenges, all the trials that move through you are not really stronger than who you are -

in silence

If you sit in silence at least for ten minutes every morning, a depth opens up inside of your being and the rest of your day throbs with creative energy, peace and clarity.

be content

for heaven's sake don't try to become anything ---- anything at all or anyone--- be content with yourself like the full moon, like the flower --- what you are is more than enough.

house of the beloved

These days everyone you meet seems to be more interested in your religion than you - don’t be afraid - tell them the truth - Place your hands on your chest and say – Here is a house of the beloved a meeting place for a cathedral - a mosque - a temple - a synagogue and a shrine –

drop the books

there are times when you need to read not for escape but for inspiration - and there are times when you need to drop the books and experience yourself directly

inside your searching

Don’t keep talking about love – You’re the love You are talking about. What matters is not how you keep looking for yourself everywhere. what matters is finding yourself everywhere inside your searching

Your desire to be with someone

Your desire to be with someone, your desire to belong to a group is simply a deep longing to be with yourself.

to love

to love means to be a polished mirror and see things exactly as they are -

movie

whatever you are struggling with pretends to be very important but as soon as you find the courage to release it, you will realize that it is complete fraud, a movie playing on the screen of your head.

Until it becomes you

don’t go out hunting for love. go inside and become its prey, let it swallow you and devour you from your feet to your hair - Until it becomes you.

true companion of your own heart

don't be concerned if you're considered a stranger in the crowd as long as you are a true companion of your own heart -

when you touch the sacred

Creativity is your true nature exploding into the outside world – it happens when you touch the sacred part deep inside of you.

on music

the quality and depth of music depends on whether it is coming from head or a deeper dimension. most of all, it depends on how you listen to it. if you listen to it with the physical ear, you hear only the sound. when you listen to it with a mystical ear, you hear only the silence and that is meditation.

river of love

Ego weighs the advantage and disadvantage and calculates profits- the river of love does not care where you are from or what you look like or what status you've, it does not doubt your intrinsic divinity - It washes you until your wounds are healed - it flows inside your veins and squeezes out all of your worries and fears - the water of love does not select - and it has no mercy on what is not real - it purifies you until your fragrant returns and you shine again like gold

what people say

if you believe what people say about you matters most, then, you become the slave of their opinions - be around those whose warmth expands your soul and whose tenderness make your eyes moist with joy –

whether you are happy or sad

whether you are happy or sad - whether you work hard or not - whether you worry about the past - or fear about the future - whether you are awakened or not - none of these matter - the presence of God continues to flow inside every single atom of your being.

You are here to understand

who you are is not different from the source itself, the energy that turns a seed into a fragrant garden is the same as your energy – you are not an object. You’re a subject. You are not here to be understood– the mind cannot understand you. You are here to understand – You are not here to be loved – You are here to love – You are not here to be accepted – You are here to accept – You are not here to be seen – You are here to see – You are not here to make anyone happy or fulfill any expectations – You are here just to be.

falsehood

Without hesitation, without fear, lose all of your illusions, lose all falsehood, lose anything that is not you – drop anything that is not serving you r true purpose - Then you are free -

one with everything

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. you’ve become one with everything

the mountain

the mountain was surprised to see his face inside a dew one morning and said to the dew - how come a little creature like you could hold my face. how is it possible for you? the dew smiled and said - we all hold each other secretly, sometimes inside the song of our silence and sometimes inside our tears - it is not the size that matters it is the essence and our courage to weep when touched - remember dear friend, inside each of us there is something that cannot be destroyed. upon hearing this, the mountain was moved beyond description and started weeping -

You fascination

You fascination with the world and the sweetness of dark cherries will fade away slowly and slowly like a cloud --- Be fascinated by what makes the cherries sweet and what tickles the Sky at the middle of the night.

enough presence

a storm of tension and anxiety and fear and worry --- arise in you to show you that there is not enough presence inside of you, there is not enough love ignited inside of your chest -

individual

the belief that you are an individual and separate comes from ego– you are eternal seed inside all beings. Those who’re joyful, You are the joy, Those who feel abundant You are the abundance - Those who feel strong, You are the strength – This who can stand erect on their feet You are their root.

how our soul expands

I often use the word vastness when I speak of you because inside you there is a country you've never seen - there is a road you've never traveled - there is a garden you've never smelled - there is a song you've never heard - inside you there is a miracle that never ends - my goodness! child of first light - be willing to be moved, to be fearlessly empty - that 's all you're here for - look at how our soul expands when we meet with a true friend! how our heart flowers when we hear a poem- how in darkness, the sweetness in the moon remembers itself -

nothing to wish for

I’ve nothing to wish for - nothing to wait for - nothing to hope for - In the present moment everything is wildly alive, sacred and precious.

personality

As long as you pursue happiness through your personality, you cannot find it. because personality is always looking outside - first drop the person and realize your true nature - this will empower you to experience happiness directly. It means happiness is simply your authentic Self.

the ocean

a true friend is the one who suddenly appears on your door and destroys all of your concepts and belief systems so that you start seeing yourself as the ocean that has no starting point or destination – the ocean that has no shores around it, the ocean that has no inside or outside.

on the bank of existence

Do your careers and relationships draw you deeper into yourself and help you understand your true nature or they snatch you from your inner-most dance and abandon you on the bank of existence?

give up suffering

give up suffering beloved friend --- as long as you are thinking, even if you think about something delightful you are not here (with me). as long as you’ve rules you are not free –

when are you going to start loving

You’ve put your hands and mind on so many things – you’ve gone to school – you’ve worked different jobs you’ve been in and out of relationships – you’ve seen places – you’re tried your best to be a good person - but there is one thing left – when are you going to start living? when are you going to start loving?

on giving

giving because you’ve been given in the past is It is not true generosity. It is a show. give yourself freely and secretly like the rain comes and pours itself into a forest. the rain has no image of the giver or receiver. It just gives and It does not even know It gives. It does not talk bout it. it does not need media coverage.

entire kingdom

Resistance cannot take you any further. fear is a detraction from what is real - give your eyes, your hands your feet, your heart --- your whole self to love - it will give you the sky, the stars and the entire kingdom.

scam

whatever people and media continue to tell you about love is a scam- stop looking for God inside your thought. that is a futile search. be empty from any urgency or dogma. look in the mirror and be present. the beloved is inside your eyes.

wildly alive

You can call me crazy if you want but I’ve nothing to wish for - nothing to wait for - nothing to hope for - I'm already drunk with what is here. In the present moment everything is wildly alive, sacred and precious

milky ways

You're actually woven from ten thousand million milky ways and stars - why do you complain of darkness?

wet cloth

Like a wet cloth, something in you longs for the sun each day – don’t rush towards your memories – taste your emptiness. If there is no thirst what is the use of water? If there is no you how do we know God? It has been a long time since I saw the fountain of moon in your eyes – Let this longing for yourself be like the hurricanes and shake you. The world is waiting. Pick up the harp in your heart and start playing.

only when you love

Only when you love, you are truly and fiercely yourself.

thanks to darkness

You cannot Know yourself by looking at your shadow – have you noticed how the sky sees its face in the water and smiles? You think a cow does not have intelligence She actually does. That is why she says Moo when she joins with her calf in the evening – It is her way of saying – thanks to darkness I finally came home to my calf.

like rain

I am not interest in how you look or what kind of car you drive – I love to see how your entire body laughs when something deep touches you and how a dandelion blooms inside your sweet eyes – I love how you look at someone who comes to hurt you and then instead of playing a victim role, instead of taking it personally how your whole being wants to love even more deeply - remember beautiful things are not the ones that are planned- They are the ones that arrive suddenly like rain or new silence.

for your suffering

It is a beginning of true love when you give up the temptation to blame the world or someone else for your suffering.

inside this poem

You wanted to obey your parents So they can be proud of you – you wanted to be a good citizen and a successful man in the eyes of the world – and you walked away from your innocence, from the grace you have known with all of your heart – you run away from your authenticity and denied your true identity for survival – survival came first and your heart last- you became a good diplomat busy drawing boundaries and negotiating prices and counting profits we’re beyond survival my friend we’re the orchard that gives new fruits every day we are the sky the releases rain when needed - look how the splendor of the full moon can make us empty! So much has been said already – If we use language It can hide our true faces, the face that holds millions of other faces inside - silence is one of the many ways I can make this poem short – be still come back to your heart now.

fragrance of true love

People can come and go Situations can come and go feelings can come and go only the fragrance of true love can stay with you. Only presence can stay with you.

when you feel discouraged

Even when you feel discouraged and dismayed, instead of seeking support from outside, it helps to look inside and see the part of you that is whole, the region in you that is more delicious than a dark chocolate.

precious and holy.

Don’t be terribly sad because you have not fulfilled the expectations from those who’re closer to you– whether you are good at survival mechanism or not, how you perform in this world cannot reduce your true nature. as far as my heart can see, you are still precious and holy.

you are heart

It is not tender enough to say you have heart so I want to say you are heart as well as the divine music inside the heart and even if someday robots take the world over, they cannot in any way, replace what you are -

anything real

every sound is accompanied by an echo - You’re silence and you don’t need an echo - anything real comes out of silence and only in silence everything is accomplished -

once in a lifetime

why do you shorten joy to a “once in a lifetime” experience? When you’ve the capacity to expand it into your every day reality.

don't forget to sing

Wherever you might go and whatever it is you do and whatever happens please don’t forget to sing – it is necessary for the budding of your wings.

like light

Be fearless like light – don’t wait for a crack to appear through a hard wall– forge a new crack, travel deep inside and kiss the mystery hiding there.

holy magma

Know who you are deeply. let this holy magma of deep love inside of you burn all of your questions.

to love someone

to love someone does not mean to own or to control – the need to own comes from a place of fear and deficiency – and this urge has destroyed many relationships and created dysfunctional world, the world that is not free nor creative. to love someone means to allow the person to be truly herself.

you're a master

If you can leave Your emotional storm alone, If you can let it come and go and stay in your center - That is the highest form of intelligence. You are a master.

TORNADOES AND DESERTS

loving soft rain and moonlight is not complete enough until you start loving tornadoes and deserts of your life.

the sweet eyed one

make love to the sweet eyed one without fear - not in the dark when the sun is down, not when everybody is asleep, but in broad-day-light in the public while everyone is watching. that is how you can make the entire galaxy dance, catch the fire of love and dissolve.

evening breeze

the evening breeze whispers something to the tall trees and they started moving with supreme elegance. birds sing passionately. i don't know their names. i know their songs. clouds move across the sky one after the other but the sky remains the same. children make noise, they slide and swing in the playground. grownups walk their dogs. mosquitoes bite. flowers bloom in silence. all of these look different on the surface deep inside, they are one life, infinite forms of loving and lovemaking - they cannot be otherwise.

great rush

the way they do it in hospitals, you don't have to be in a great rush to get rid of your pain - may be it can be even more beneficial to you and the world to sit with your pain and kindly ask why he chose to come to your door

our needs

Some days our needs are very little – sitting with a friend who does not doubt our capacity to shine infinitely.

hold onto nothing.

be like a road – let cars and trucks and people come and go – let them exit - you stay where you are - and hold onto nothing and chase nobody.

ten thousand lectures

one minute of your own direct experience is more liberating, more intoxicating and more expanding than ten thousand lectures on spirituality

others

I want you to be still for a few minutes and contemplate on this - the greatest of all knowing is knowing that there are no others.

truly

If you’ve an opinion, If you’ve a belief, If you’ve an agenda, If you’ve a mental position --- and if you get up every morning to defend them, to fight for them, to die for them --- then, truly you’ve no time for yourself. truly you’ve lost the music of peace - truly fear has taken over your life until you show a hint of courage, some willingness to toss away all of them so that you can be empty again, empty and pure as a child and you can reunite with the sacred within where life is birthed forth each moment -

something tender

Sing some song to your pet or to the colony of marching ants or a tree in your backyard – Say something tender to a stranger walking down the street - something like I love you or you smell like the moon I saw last night - your heart is a fresh petal. Feel this infinite softness inside you- and let anyone in your presence feel they're safe

fragrance of love

What a precious gift to realize your own heart is the mother of all vastness and depth the vastness that contains the universe, the sun, the desert and the galaxies and the Eco system and all flowering mountains anyone has ever climbed ---- it is a holy repository that cannot live without the fragrance of love.

meeting and parting

"MEETING AND PARTING~ meeting and parting appears real only for those who have not moved deeper - not for the mystics- we have always been together inside the sea of this loving that knows no boundaries - that has no form or ethnicity, that has no gender or address"

no doubt

there is no doubt how your innocence can light up the world if you're willing to give up your self image.

BRAVE ENOUGH

This is my evening prayers for you dear ones - may you burn and grow deeper and stop judging anyone - may you become like water that knows how to move through the rocks - may life touch itself through you and you become brave, brave enough to touch the universe inside a piece of wood -

disorder into an orchard

the courage you need right now is not to chase happiness nor to avoid sorrow, it is rather to be available to whatever arises in your daily routine. you are healing yourself from inside out and turning disorder into an orchard.

Silence

As long as you are afraid of silence you cannot know yourself – because you are silence. you come from silence. everything that is real comes from silence. you are song of silence. you are a fluid rainbow of silence.

I know nothing

This is how things turned out – you looked at me and I flowered – I did not know that there is a sunlight inside your eyes – Since then so much happened – We talk to each other every day and every night but we don’t use words – I know nothing anymore but the way you dance into my existence – you are my rain and I am an oak tree – You are a dandelion and I am your soil and fragrance – we’ve mingled in such a way that no one can tell the distinction between you and me because there is not one. It does not matter how smart one thinks he is – Can he separate a bird from her song?

your aloneness

My dear friend – don’t be too quick to judge or blame – nor too fast to join a crowd – the ego loves to belong somewhere - taste the honey of your aloneness it is a garden where true laughter is born – the physical eye can only see fingers – the space between fingers dance more elegantly than the fingers. You might have heard about many paths – but see for yourself which one can tickle your feet and make your eyes softer – if someone asks you to define what God is, be still and say nothing as if all the words you’ve known in your entire life have left you.

Allowing

Allowing what is, whether is it grief or joy or hurt --- without expectation of any sort, without your interpretation about it, That is truly unconditional love bursting inside your heart .

Issues

It is not possible to have issues when you enter the present moment – Present moment is fire and it consumes everything that is false.

THE SOURCE

for just a minute, allow tenderness to look through your infinite eyes – you can see everything is dancing and clapping their hands and singing and laughing to celebrate the source.

deep inside

It appears to us from outside that a mother gives birth to a child. deep inside her heart, she is giving birth to herself – the higher intelligence looks at millions of things and objects but sees only it self in everything.

when lovers talk

When lovers talk and talk and Finally reach the intersection where They Don’t know what to say and How to say it other than gazing Into their empty, moist and glowing Eyes, they’ve become poems And roses and stars ---- that emerge Out of stillness and dissolve Into stillness.

this moment

If you want to share truth with someone, You don’t have to study it. truth does not need to be studied It is not in the books – It does not need to be rehearsed. speak out of awareness trust your heart. whatever wants to come will come out of now- Whatever you speak out of preparation is not original. It is not spontaneous, it is not fresh. You are speaking from memory So the meeting with another human being does not happen and if it happens, it happens on the level of form and it is shallow. Do you need a rehearsal to kiss your beloved? you don’t. if you plan ahead of time to kiss your beloved, the kissing has never happened. You cannot make love from the place of memory or fear. You can make love when the fire in your heart is ignited, only when you’re fully alive. love flows only when you enter this moment.

resisting what is

Drop fear totally and do it now. drop your desire to figure out what is going to happen tomorrow. give up carrying your past with you. stop resisting what is. only then you can move beyond your karma and experience the infinite power of your inner courage and awaken your dreams into the reality of now.

not too late

In spite of all the insanity that is unfolding, this world is still beautiful I assure you,dear ones why give up? look at it with the goodness within. It is what we’ve created and it is what we can heal - and it is not too late if humans are willing to move a little closer to their tenderness - if politicians and healthcare professionals and decision makers and technocrats, business men----- could feel a little compassion, a little opening in their heart ---- if they look inside and touch serenity inside their chest --- if they bring a little presence to what they do and say - it is not too late to heal this world ---

flawless

you make mistakes and a sense of regret takes over - you hate yourself and never seem to let it go - you think you are the only one who is making mistakes. mistakes are the most glorious things to make because it is a hint that you are alive. only dead people don't make mistakes. remember that your inner being is immaculate and flawless.

what makes the awareness happy

a friend asked me this evening - what makes the awareness happy or sad? I felt that is a good pointer to share with you here - If awareness is happy or sad Nothing outside of it causes it. in fact awareness is beyond the state of happiness and sorrow. it is beyond feelings. Awareness is not a person. it is a state of being out of which a person emerges - it is pure consciousness. it is like the sky. the sky is neither happy nor sad whether it is sunny or cloudy, whether it is snowy or rainy. the sky does not mind. it does not complain either.

to be alive

When you look at nature be it a tree, a mountain or the sky or birds, they are constantly encouraging you not to think too much, they're reminding you to be alive, to be fiercely yourself and to wake up to your true essence.

beginning of your awakening

First, it is necessary to experience for yourself what it feels to get lost in the mental noise, to feel cut off from the perfume of life, Not knowing where you’re going, to feel that piercing pain of being away from home – Let this penetrate your bone and circulate with your blood - that is the beginning of your awakening -

more things

when you look inside and suddenly notice that you carry the whole universe inside your own heart, you stop wishing for more things in your life other than what you already have.

when the sound and the silence meet

We live in a culture now where everybody wants to be heard where everyone talks at the same time - those who are not talking are not listening either. Their capacity to listen has been diminished for the mind is too noisy and too crowded - There are two kinds of noises - an outer noise and an inner noise – let silence penetrate our interaction with each other so that whenever conversation happens, words don’t forget their roots and when we speak from that river of vastness, instead of hearing the words, we hear the silence. when the sound and the silence meet, poetry is born, music is born out of this – magic is born out of this -

Harmony

What is aliveness? What is harmony? What is peace? It is when every single particle in your body get along with each other, and speak the same language and sing the same song and dance the same dance.

the path

It is only the path we’ve chosen in our dream state that collides, meets and parts and meets again -- but what we’re, who we are on the visceral level has never been apart even for a second.

morning mist

First honor what you truly are - life will reveal to you the splendor hiding inside your being - the treasure that you are will rise like morning mist to wrap itself around you.

hero

Don’t wait for a hero to come, to be led by someone? the hero has always lived inside of you which is brighter than ten thousand suns, vaster than the ocean - forge a fresh path for yourself. You’re the path -

opening in your heart

When there is an opening in your heart, your entire being beams – and you cannot hide it anymore and anyone who comes closer to you also beams without knowing and secretly something inside them changes.

like water

Love is like Water - It does not know boundaries - It simply means you’re no longer afraid of dissolving into all things. you here and everywhere.

your past

It is not water but the courage to forgive your past that grabs you by the neck, holds you upside down and purifies you.

dualistic world

if you're someone who prays on a regular basis, pray in such a way that you don't create a dualistic world. for example instead of asking the higher consciousness for something you don't have, it would be more affirming to express gratitude for the abundance that you already are. This means there is no distance or separation between you and the supreme high..

intimate friend

Something seems staggering and overwhelmingly immense to us only as long as we are resisting it, It feels like it is tearing us apart and crushing us and mixing us with the ground - but once it is fully accepted and noticed for what it is, it becomes our intimate friend and you will eventually realize that all worrying and all fear is unnecessary wastage of energy.

concentration of fragrance

I come here on a regular basis not because I feel lonesome not because I want to subscribe an ideology or religion not because I want to be seen and heard – I stop by on a regular basis because kindness wanted to share itself in its totality – love wants to give itself without fear – I come here on a daily basis because I cannot hold to myself a concentration of fragrance exploding deep inside my being.

spiritual arrogance

Just because you had a glimpse of what looked like a liberating spiritual experience once in your life time, if you start feeling that you are enlightened and you really got what has been missing and everyone else has not, If you think that you are special and a chosen one and the whole world is living in complete darkness, remember that this is spiritual arrogance and you’re still interested in judging other human beings and talking about it to everyone you meet online or in the street –

God is singing

stop running around and listen! Listen! not just with your ears but with all of yourself - inside everyone you meet, God is singing -

outer world

When you ignore your inner-most calling, the power of your inner wizard, you’re anointing the outer world to run your life and push you around,

Be patient

Have faith in the intelligence deep within you – Be patient. Clarity will come slowly. you are here because the divine purpose of the universe wants to express itself through you. Be patient.

Doubt

Doubt comes from a place deep inside you that is not satisfied, Do you know dear friend why the moon is so beautiful and serene? She has no doubt and she's one with the symphony of life.

your capacity to love

You don't have to belong with a group - your willingness to sit with yourself and listen, deepens your capacity to love without limitation

eyes of beginner.

If change erupts on your life, It means that the time has arrived for you to give birth to yourself, to drop your old lifestyle, toss everything you're familiar with and look at the world with the eyes of a beginner.

Bliss

without trying to convince someone of your worthiness be totally content with who you are - chasing nothing for you are not a beggar - be drunk with you own essence - you are life and the source of life - enjoy who you are infinitely - when this happens, you are moving beyond the state of happiness and unhappiness for they depend on each other - you touch bliss, it is a state where everything is one with everything - energy that transcends all life forms -

beyond descriptions

You true nature is infinite and limitless – and you are beautiful beyond descriptions - The only limitations you’ve are the ones you’ve learned - the ones that are taught to you by the environment, by your culture, by your school system, through your upbringing and you believed in them.

origin of fear

the origin of fear in human beings is separation - to believe that there is someone out there who is not you - unwillingness to see all beings in yourself and yourself in all beings.

it is possible

No matter what, it is possible to be grateful everyday --- It is possible to love every day--- to sing every day --- to dance every day --- the energy of love flows inside of you like a tender waterfall and it does not know Monday or Friday or weekends - it flows without interruption. if you don't feel this, it is simply because your own thought has stolen you from yourself.

hungry lion

When love awakens inside you and roars like a hungry lion, be a tender wood and burn inside the flame until nothing remains but love.

great weaver

Consciousness is a great weaver. Sometimes it enters your body when you are least prepared and weaves all your thoughts, all your worries --- all your doubts --- into a holy light. Just stay open.

your capacity to love

You don't have to belong with a group - your willingness to sit with yourself and listen, deepens your capacity to love without limitation

Until nothing remains

When love awakens inside you and roars like a hungry lion, be a tender wood and burn inside the flame until nothing remains but love.

all worrying

Something seems staggering and overwhelmingly immense to us only as long as we are resisting it, It feels like it is tearing us apart and crushing us and mixing us with the ground - but once it is fully accepted and noticed for what it is, it becomes our intimate friend and you will eventually realize that all worrying and all fear is unnecessary wastage of energy.

Be patient

Have faith in the intelligence deep within you – Be patient. Clarity will come slowly. you are here because the divine purpose of the universe wants to express itself through you. Be patient.

Outer world

When you ignore your inner-most calling and go your way, you’re anointing the outer world to tun your life and push you around.

unaffected

Once you know yourself as awareness – once you become established in your inner-being, you become unaffected by whatever someone says about you - people’s opinion about you are fully accepted and embraced and you don’t try hard anymore to convince anyone of your worthiness.

one with nature

when you speak from innocence, not from intellect, in other words, when you allow innocence to speak through you, a language that is tender and yet affirming, a language that is one with nature is birthing itself through you.

every little encounter

every little encounter with a challenge is secretly licking and polishing you. why run away dear friend? why resist this moment? whatever arises is not without a purpose - it is to split your heart open and enhance your transformation.

games people play

You know how a modern man is in love with procrastination - if you ask him, do you want to be free now? He would say, I would love to. but not now. I'm still enjoying the games people play.

doorway

Listen deeply not to what I say but to your own inner-most whisper – no packing your luggage and no going anywhere – for there is no difference between you and the ocean, there is no distinction between you and the master, no separation between you and the sun and flowers and the mountains – and so no packing your luggage and no going anywhere for your own being is the doorway into timelessness.

holy womb

you are not someone moving between wombs forever. You are a holy womb and all things grow out of you.

deep forest

at the end everything will go - but a little tenderness, little drops of emptiness you shared with people around you will rise ripple by ripple to turn a dry land into a deep forest.

comings and goings

stillness of the mind and inner peace are not separate. this can be touched and experienced when you know yourself as awareness, the infinite vastness on which all comings and goings take place.

your words

Be mindful of your thoughts and your feelings and your acts and your emotion and your words - they can directly and immediately impact the environment you live in.

comparison

Comparison a disease and only awakening to your true self can heal it - You live a happy and fulfilled life until ego interferes and you start comparing yourself with your neighbor or your workmate or someone you know.

spiritual hunger

When poetry comes out of what you’ve experienced and felt directly with your own heart and soul, when it comes out of your holy drunkenness, not from what you’ve heard or read– when it arises from your own emptiness not from your memory, it is like the sky spilling fresh milk from its holy breasts - it becomes a meal you take for your spiritual hunger.

way of a mystic

Wherever you go, be like a breeze and leave no foot-print – when you give, don’t brag to everyone about it. Existence is giving itself through you. you are only an agent – whatever you say, let it come from the depth of your core – let it be music from beyond. If ordeal knocks on your door, sing. If ordeal leaves you, sing. and whatever it is you do for a living, be sure it is a lot of fun. this is the way of a mystic.

names

It is a common practice dropping your birth name and taking on a chosen name , whatever name feels empowering on your spiritual growth – there is no doubt here – names can be used for practical purposes and they may point to a brilliant sun but names can also limit you by causing identification. Don’t take them Seriously - recognize within you the one that is nameless and formless and the one that dwells beyond time and space.

like a singing bowl

The beloved touches me tenderly with grace, and you know what? like a singing bowl, I continue to make a delicious music.

more than the body

to go beyond the body, to a place where there is no suffering, where is no guilt or shame, where is no past or future, where there is no fear - it is necessary to know, first, that you are more than the body -

from innocence

when you speak from innocence, not from intellect, in other words, when you allow innocence to speak through you, a language that is tender and yet affirming, a language that is one with nature is birthing itself through you.

like water

you cannot look at the moon at night and think about your your past at the same time. when you enter the present moment, all mind activities evaporate like water and you will have a renewed strength to toss away anything that does not tickle your heart.

way of a mystic

Wherever you go, be like a breeze and leave no foot-print – when you give, don’t brag to everyone about it. Existence is giving itself through you. you are only an agent – whatever you say, let it come from the depth of your core – let it be music from beyond. If ordeal knocks on your door, sing. If ordeal leaves you, sing. and whatever it is you do for a living, be sure it is a lot of fun. this is the way of a mystic.

mountains and galaxies

no matter how humans behave and act, I see mountains and galaxies and the forest and the Buddha and goddesses and Jesus and the sky and ocean of goodness --- inside the heart of their hearts.

new dimension

On the form level, when life takes away something from you, she does not leave you just like that - she opens you to a new world, giving you a new dimension and depth. She will show you the courage to sit with the one within you that does not fluctuate, the one that is eternal, incorruptible and unchanging.

you're a miracle

you are not here to expect a miracle. you are here to know you're a miracle.

Full capacity

have the courage to be all that you are – my eyes are fully open and I don’t see darkness anywhere. if you do, tell me about it. Maybe you have not kissed it deep enough – maybe you are not burning with your full capacity. whatever passes before your eyes - don’t react but respond with kindness – everything and everyone wants to grab your attention – be a neutral witness and wherever you are sing your own song and dance your own dance – and follow no body but the light in your heart.

holy fire

You are not here for no reason - the world slept and dreamed of a new being - someone who’s awake - someone who’s compassionate and simple - someone who’s fearlessly open - someone who shares not pain but a holy fire-

hidden gold

You’re a lord not a beggar - You are a hidden gold not a metal. why do you walk on earth like a mortal? Like someone who is fearful? you are the source of light - why do you continue resisting light? You are the emblem of wholeness - Why do you split yourself into fragments? You come out of silence and return to silence – why do you like hiding inside noise? through so much learning you’ve forgotten who you are and you ask me - how can be free now? you ask me how can I be happy? and my answer is short – drop all that is nonsense.

your essential nature

your essential nature is bliss itself and what someone says to you neither reduces you nor improves what you are - you are delight as well as the enjoyer of delight. you are the full moon as well as the softness of the moon. The sky inside your being comes out to dance with trees moving in the breeze. you are a view from mountains where nothing is hidden. You are the face of the sun turning in every direction.

empty vastness

First let go of any trying - be empty of any desire no matter how beautiful that is - even a desire to be enlightened – be satisfied with what you are now. Want nothing. and nothing – for what you are is already a signature of splendor - Remain inside this empty vastness.

tooth fairies

Just like a child wakes up one morning and discovers that tooth fairies are not real, one day you too, if you are blessed, will wake up from your dreams and realize that you are not what you really think you are.

greatest challenge

greatest challenge of being human is the courage to allow what wants to emerge - and the strength to release what wants to fly away from your hands -

remain inside the knowing

Sometimes you happen to be with a group of humans whose energy is very low and who’re great at complaining and worrying- out of good intention you want to be of service to them so you too start complaining and blaming someone. you think that by worrying with them you are being friendly and kind. The most original way to help this world is not by participating in worry or fear. it is actually by knowing who you are on the deepest level and then to remain inside the knowing.

deeply present

as I was growing up in the farm, I still remember some beings who looked at the clouds floating in the sky and could tell if it was going to rain or not. there were also few people who could understand the language of animals and birds. It was not because they had a special gift, It was because they were very intimate with nature. It was because they were very alive and deeply present.

open your eyes

You don’t have to be on a long cruise or a caravan. You don’t have to go anywhere – just open your eyes - right here, in front of you or under your feet a bruised blade of grass trembles with the mystery of existence. Her love is total and no part of her hides from the world. She contains the world inside her stillness. She shares the trauma of the world - if you want to know how deeply we are all connected, look in the eye of a tiger or a dog or in the eye of another human being – you can see yourself there.

whatever you fight

You might have noticed how misery gravitates to misery – it is not by eliminating the ego that you can experience freedom. It is by transcending it, by simply noticing it is there ---- whatever you fight against, will strengthen itself and come back.

you are the universe

There is a relationship that is complete by itself, like an oak tree, which is established in its own consuming magnificence - where no one is superior or inferior, no one is smaller or greater – no one is more intelligent – there is no cause and effect, there is no victim or victor, there is no birth or death ---- and this alone is an authentic relationship. it is a relationship with the universe, a relationship with your own heart – you are the universe.

copper into gold.

to stand before yourself without illusion – to drop whatever prevents you from soaring towards your invisible strength - to hold the universe inside the depth of your tenderness – this is the courage that can turn copper into gold.

it does not know otherwise

Because the heart does not participate in the stories and dramas the mind continues to weave, it remains pure and innocent and vaster than anything you can ever imagine – it holds eternity inside itself and can see and feel with more clarity and precision. it has the capacity to simply see the present reality without judgment or blame, without interpretation or distortion- it can love without doubt or fear because it does not know otherwise.

fire moving through you

As a being You have the strength to relax even when you move through fire. It is not you, moving through fire – It is the fire moving through you to discover itself more deeply.

your old baggage

Don’t bring your old baggage into a new dimension of your life – leave it on the door. Why do You bother to Touch whatever Wants to bloom when left alone? if you cannot walk away from what can make your soul dry, surrender to it.

most eloquent language

when existence wants to express herself in the most eloquent language, she gently tickles you and you burst into laughter and everyone around you starts laughing without knowing why.

emptiness

the highest goal of human evolution is emptiness - this will eventually invite peace to complete itself deep inside your heart.

you're at peace

when at the end, your desire for victory falls way and your need to be right dissolves – you are at peace.

heartbrokenness

heart brokenness, anger, confusion ---- take over when what has just happened is not what you’ve expected - the heart is broken when there is no flexibility, when you already decide how things should be – heartbrokenness is not the breaking of the heart itself – it is a pain in the physical body caused by our thoughts. the awakened heart is very compassionate but it does not break anymore. It is open and porous and there is no wall built around it -- and can allows all things to move through it.

mystery inside your eyes

It is not a day that is bad or good – It is not someone that is bad or good – It is you for there is no someone out there – tell me if you look at one but perceive many? If you look at what is eternal but can only see what is time-bound. tell dear one, how is your heart-pulsation right now? how do you feel close to the mystery inside your eyes that you don’t see but smell its perfume?

gaze inside

You might long night and day to be with a friend who understands you someone whose single glance can ignite fire inside your chest - and you wait longer than your initial plan, hoping something will reveal itself someday but your commitment my dear friend, your strength to gaze inside and to stay with your own heart makes creation Indivisible.

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.

my new silence

you can say so much. you can write so much but dear one I am in love with what you've not uttered yet. Come enter the dimension of my new silence.

this great force

Love is a universal song a very contagious energy – like a soft wildfire, it clears everything in the way, like water everything it touches become awakened, animated, refined and transformed – it does not shout. It does not run. it does not control. It does not choose nor does it claim ownership. It moves with grace and leaves no footprint. how is it possible to contain this great force inside one person.

sacred within

the willingness to empty yourself on a regular basis allows you to catch up with the flow of life and come closer to the sacred within you.

river of laughter

Life without laughter is a prison and you know my dear companion how the ego wants to take itself very seriously. so dear one, wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now, whether you are at work or whether you are in hospital, whether you are waiting for a friend at a coffee shop or if you're walking your dog in your neighborhood ------ make sure a river of laughter is flowing inside all of these -

honey in your heart

in human nature there is endless curiosity to go out and study the world – to cross the deserts and hike the mountains and dive into deep forests --- and yet after all these adventures there is still restlessness and dissatisfaction and the feeling of loneliness --- This is just because you have not yet dived into yourself to experience the garden within you. You have not yet noticed the honey in your heart waiting to be tasted and explored and devoured.

the unconscious

to forgive yourself for the damage you might have caused someone in the past means to realize that what had really caused the harm is not you. It is rather the unconsciousness manifested in you - it is a region in you that did not know itself.

the secret sunshine

If the only gift we can give each other is our presence, our pure innocence, the hidden love song the secret sunshine inside our heart, the world will be healed and transformed.

on Awakening

A question for a friend goes like this – Sir, I’ve a question for you – In your daily life, how do you interact with people who are not awake? I mean, how do you deal with them? Please share your insight. Once you’re awake, your interest to judge and blame dissolves. You don’t avoid those who are not awake. Awakening is not the absence of sleep. It is the capacity in which all are accepted. In fact being continuously tested and challenged by those who still identify with their mental noise can deepen your awakening. Blessings.

expectation

expectation is hindrance to happiness. If you cannot drop it completely from your everyday life, at least minimize it – birds sing not because they expect a grammy award - they sing because that is what they enjoy with all of their heart.

new dimension

The feeling of separation, pain and suffering is a pointer that something has to change from within - your old dimension has to go and the new dimension has to emerge.

gloves on your hands

tell me dear friend, if you’ve ever touched someone’s depth with gloves on your hands? It is only when the noise in your head quiets down, can flowers grow in your heart.

unheard music

UNHEARD MUSIC meeting the unexpected with awareness --- that can be the path, entry door into your heart – where there is a secret song of the beloved – unheard music.

heaven

heaven is not somewhere to go in the future - it is not outside of your daily routine - it is washing the dishes, being available to a child, going for a walk, having a conversation with a friend -----

the first thing

the first thing is to listen, not just with your ears but with all of your being and let this be your everyday practice - the secret of life will open herself to you like your own palm and a new world will be born out of the womb of you pure presence.

too small for you

The world that can be accessed only through your five senses is too small for you - move beyond.

perfume of true love

When the perfume of true love penetrates and the heart flowers, all your apprehensions and concerns become useless.

endlessly translucent

Attachment is what we’ve learned. It is not our nature. organic brain is endlessly translucent to allow what comes and goes -

no shaken enough

When a storm comes your way and leaves without shaking you up and touching something deep inside you, when it departs without leaving a perfume that tickles you and opens your heart, you are not shaken enough.

to live without fear

in simple words to be courageous means to live without fear and regret, to love without doubt and to laugh no matter what happens –

ancient

this is how my love for you is ancient and infinite, my precious friend - when someday your inner and outer life decide to marry each other, I will be the first one Who arrives to witness this joy and to be your best-man.

where i am pointing

Why focus on my finger? look where I Am pointing.

calm your mind

Why dear one, do you wait for God to come and visit you? isn’t he/she already inside of you as yourself? Isn’t he/she singing in your heart every time you learn how to calm your mind.

fierce clarity

Being kind to yourself begins when, instead of living blindly, you start seeing with fierce clarity --- instead of following the mob, you look inside and follow the hints sent to you from your inner-most guidance.

same sweet eyes

Relationships blossom and erupt into infinite blessing not because you’ve known each other for years. It is because the foundation is vast enough to hold all of you including everyone around you. when this happens, each one of you will have natural capacity to look at each other with the same sweet eyes God looked at you.

the only game

If the only game we play is turning and curving and dissolving into love again and again --- whatever we touch becomes a a living shrine - we become in the center of all centers around which everything rotates.

tension

It is a music when you speak in a present tense – all other tenses don’t have perfume. they have only tension

wild river

I used to be hungry and thirsty all the time until one day I stumbled into an endless gold quarry hidden beneath my ribs and a wild river coursing inside every single cell in my body -

between many lives

Our body is a flower bursting forth from the ground to spread its fragrance – it carries us between many lives bringing messages from the inner to the outer -

your rough sides

Life can start making sense to you only when you become one with it. When you vanish into its infinity, you cannot be serious anymore. because it softens your stubbornness and polishes your rough sides It is easy for you to laugh and sing and play like a child, to be drunk with its wine and you don’t want to be sober again. you're truly yourself and fiercely free and unafraid .

awakening question

the most expanding and awakening question is not whether Jesus loves you or not. it is whether you you accept and love yourself exactly as you are.

bursting into light

There are days you lack the strength even to open your eyes and look inside and recognize the light within you - so you start feeling weak and small. The sense of great inadequacy takes over,. Great fear takes over and you hide behind things for your safety and protection. Then a friend comes from no where and sings on your behalf and speaks of your ancient beauty and this song penetrates you and arouses your heart and empowers you and wakes you up and you remember again who are you and you start singing again. You start bursting into light again. You start dancing again.

meeting with God

What is that you are looking for? everywhere we go we are meeting with God.

your worries

If your worries cannot stop an ounce of whatever wants to happen nor can it change what has already happened, why do you choose to waste your energy this way? why don’t you just sing?

duality

The world of duality teaches us how to be patient with everything – how to dance with great majesty between day and night, laughter and sorrow, birth and death --- without clinging to any of them for they passing phenomena-

the sacred inside us

Our approaches might be different – but I each of us are trying our best to remember we’re breathing – each day our deepest desire is to come closer to the sacred inside us.

FIRE IN YOUR CHEST

In the end the cows will come home and merge with their calves – and all your knowledge and Images and ideas about love and even your faint memories of the past will fall away like an old garment and only love remains. from here, you can have a good glimpse of what it means to be whole and eternal. you may not still have the answers to the basic questions of life. you will taste the mystery of life directly. You become one with life. you are life. the fire in your chest does not wait for the wind anymore. It will have an energy to ignite itself.

deep labor

Hard times Can shake us up and bring great energy shift - there can be so much pain in this - human beings go into deep labor to give birth to God.

what does not work

tell me which road can take you to a place of your deep longing without the light in your heart? tell me which bird has ever flown with her wings closed? only when we drop what does not work, only when we return to our sanity, we can grow wings and soar.

some say no

SOME SAY NO some say no to mean yes some say yes to mean no. I dance between winter and the spring – whatever I want to say cannot be said in words. It becomes a mystery ready to enter the silence of a stone - a rosebud ready to split open and merge with its own fragrance -

heavenly

One of the Most rarest gifts we’re given is the body. It is a sacred logo by which we’re locally known to those around us – the same way a cup holds a holy wine, the body holds the perfume of God – when we don’t identify with it, when we honor and love it, it can be a great companion, a fragrant orchard pulsating with mystery, an entry gate into what is heavenly and timeless.

MEMORY BOX

Love does not want to be stored in a memory box – It loves its infinite freedom like fresh rain gushing forth from the sacred breast of eternity – its majesty to spread healing and its intelligence to turn suffering into a vast field of roses. since its very nature is to give itself freely, it also does not want to be owned by anyone or anything – wherever it finds itself, it is sovereign, for no force can divide its omnipresence.

Just for a minute

Just for a minute why don’t you calm your mind and listen? everything that seems to be blurry and unclear will surrender to your heart. mystery will be your close friend, walls will turn themselves into doors and there will be nothing that you cannot handle.

your presence

Without your presence, the universe would stay inside a seed without choosing to manifest itself – this is to say the universe is the fulfillment of your awareness, song of your awakened heart and it is continuously woven into perfection out of your own in-breath-out- breath – when the heart is touched deeply, the light and the fire that ignites inside us makes the eagles blink and mountains smile.

how to be one with everyone else

It is by loving who we’re completely with all of our heart and with all of our mind that we start learning how to be one with everyone else.

the seed

everything is beautiful and innocent when seen with the eyes of deep knowing but nothing is so majestic and shockingly holy as your own emptiness, the seed that you secretly carry inside of your heart.

your inner growth

you cannot accelerate your inner growth - You only need to prepare the ground for it. You need to be open and receptive in all dimension of your life and whatever is not true for you must go - it is not enough to to be warm-hearted. It is not enough to be on fire. you need to be fire itself. if there are more beings around you whose fire is more intense than yours, you can join with them and together you can burn a forest of illusion.

body and mind

seeing yourself not as body and mind but as the light of the pulsating universe, not as one who’s constantly starving for love but as a divine essence, that is the eternal fountain of love – the intelligence that continuously weaves love out of nothingness --- that is the beginning of kindness towards yourself and everyone else.

you're the one

You’re the one the entire cosmos has been waiting for. Now that you are here, when are you going to start dancing?

hidden wholeness

In the society that is too busy to know its true nature, poetry is not a luxury – It is a holy wine to open your heart and empty you from all of your concerns so that the moonlight coming through your window can touch something deeper and tickle your beautiful eyes – that simply experience is capable of awakening the hidden wholeness within you.

certainty is a great illusion

Stop predicting what is going to happen. certainty is a great illusion. It is a barren land that cannot hold a drop of water. what does it mean to you when you go for your evening walk and suddenly vanish inside the soft eyes of the moon and never return?

when everyone is inside you

It is fear that contracts you and makes you small. once you know yourself as a pure energy of love, you expand and deepen simply because you’re allowing the entire universe into your being and you are finally uniting with everything and everyone. how is it possible to stay small and physically limited when everyone is inside of you? when every single cell in your body continues to labor with the perfume of the living Jesus and Buddha, how is it possible to stay small?

silent explosion

there is no need for you to plan for a big trip – life is blossoming right here from underneath your precious feet – look inside and see how the new moon is dissolving into her silent explosion?

song of oneness

When we communicate with each other, we continue to dream, and we remain many and separate – when we commune with each other, we wake up from our dreams or our dreams wake up and blossoms through us - We merge and touch the place where everything is pregnant with the song of oneness.

red lights

red lights on your way to work – aloneness, moments of loss, difficult times --- these are invitations sent to you for your deepest self-inquiry, invitations for your spiritual growth. they're telling you, you have not moved inside of you deep enough - why waste them foolishly or discard them immediately? Meet with them wholeheartedly, without hiding any part of you.

love destroys hierarchies

LOVE DESTROYS HIERARCHIES First discover your true essence. then loving becomes effortless and by loving, you are not doing anyone a big favor – you are just being yourself because loving is your nature. and this loving becomes intimate and impersonal. it is impersonal because you become like the moon that smiles for everyone. the moon does not direct her light towards a certain race or a group of people or neighborhood. She smiles for everyone and embraces all beings inside her cosmic eyes, You see my sweet friend? don’t be afraid to be yourself love destroys hierarchies and transcends oneness.

stress

anyone can advise you “ if you want to achieve something in your life, you’ve to work hard until your are under a great stress…” Don’t listen. whatever you produce out of stress cannot be original and it has no fire and it cannot turn you on. It has no perfume. It has no music. It cannot inspire nor can it tickle you. it is quantity and you are only repeating what has already been heard and known. Force nothing dear friend – The same way you came out of the depth of this moment, let whatever wants to come, come out of Now, out of nothingness, don’t push it hard. let it arise effortlessly from the depth of your center.

organ inside you

If there is any organ inside you that does not sing if there is any cell in your body that does not pulsate with aliveness, it means there is blockage in your body and you are not experiencing life in all possible ways. you are not living with all of your strength.

When you start Complaining

When you start Complaining, Just be present – It means you are pushing away whatever wants to arise, running away from the one who wants to kiss your infinity eyes - by doing so, you are wasting a lot of aliveness.

rainy morning in Minneapolis

When rainfalls, don’t talk. Don’t analyze it. Listen. It is a sound of the unheard. Open your heart and drink it. Blessings is coming down to drench your parched soul. to quench your cosmic thirst. when clouds are tired of being opaque and heavy, they surrender and fall into the arms of mystery for whoever is willing to die into mystery becomes the mystery itself.

holy mouth of the beloved.

Praise anything that does not feel right inside your being, anything that does not seem to be working – or when what you love most falls apart--- are good enough hints to draw you closer to the holy mouth of the beloved.

restless mind

If you just take some time off from your restless mind, you will soon lose interest in how things should go or what is going to happen next ----- then inside you a pure space will emerge for a garden to grow and for roses to bloom, for ten thousand moons to shine --- and your whole being starts flowering like a forest in spring.

we become the river

We BECOME THE RIVER Sometimes We don’t know what moves us and yet we move, We don’t know what tickles us and yet we laugh, we don’t know what penetrates us deeply and yet we cry with joy we don’t know what carries us --- and yet we fly-- – and when we long for burning we easily catch fire – and when the time comes to enter the ocean and vanish into oneness we become the river -

without effort

he most authentic way to love someone is to love without expectation, without attachment and without effort - that is complete freedom. you are free and the one you've loved is free and eventually through you, the world will become free.

PRESENCE

What I really want for you, my beautiful friends, is not a daily news – what I want for you with all of my heart is PRESENCE. What I want for you is AWARENESS to wake up roaring inside your heart and sweeps you away like a wildfire burning and dissolving everything you are familiar with, including your opinions and views - When this happens, you will come to a place of great emptiness where the only thing you want to do is to be still so that you can hear with deep clarity the universe chanting and singing inside you.

all that is divine

the One that holds you closer, grabs you by the collar and takes you deeper into yourself – Stay with that energy. It is the ancestor of all that is precious and divine.

Your image about God

You are not a problem - your image about God, Your beliefs and your ideas about God is a problem - In fact it is a great obstacle to your spiritual growth.

direct language

this might feel awkward and may be no body has talked to you like this before in such direct language- when you choose to remain a little open and receptive and fearless just for one second, God wants to make love to you very passionately – and when this happens, which has already happened to so many beings , your concerns and worries and doubt will dissipate like a cloud and you become pregnant with endless joy and grace – like clusters of precious stones, your whole body starts pulsating with splendor and your entire life becomes a song of great harmony.

swirling presence

Life is not something that needs your rehearsal - it is not something to prepare for – it is not something you can study from books - it is a swirling presence gushing inside you breast uninterrupted. look within and experience it directly for yourself. taste it with all of your being. You will be drunk.

ECHO OF THE PASSING LAUGHTER

you are not the echo of a passing laughter- you’re the expanded dance of the immediate NOW - the authentic way of measuring your day is not by how much money you make - It is rather by how deeply you are present with what you do and how much you are willing to flow with the fluidity of life.

love songs

When I say Listen, I am not asking you to listen to someone in particular. I am pointing to the divine music within you. Listen deeply until you vanish as a listener and only listening remains. Sincere and deep listening has the energy to open your chest and empty you so that love flows into every atom in your being - the fragrance of God moves in from every dimension and turns your worries into love songs.

light of the supreme

LIGHT OF THE SUPREME This thing called SEPARATION seems real only as long as you have not experienced true love and it will continue to dominate your existence until you are ready to invite the light of the supreme into your life again. Then only you will realize that It is only fiction the mind has been trying very hard to promote it to you.

too small

If the life you are living now cannot tickle you anymore and you’ve stopped laughing – if this life is too small for you and you’ve stopped singing – it means time has come for change – not the time to restructure or remodel your life but to demolish it and start it all over.

where the water is clear

Sometime people you love and care for can give up on you and wake away because you could not to meet their expectations – be brave enough to stand with the truth in your being – not arrogantly but with sincere gratitude, not blindly but with wide open eyes – you know my dear friend, it requires a great courage to be heart-broken and look inside where the water is clear and the music is sublime.

mystical eye

THE MYSTICAL EYE You see a ripe fruit falling off a tree and your heart grieves – you say, it is a separation from the source. a child parting with a mother - you say it is the end of laughter – but the fruit can tell you if you ask – she will say, why grieve my friend? why grieve? this is not the end. for the physical eye this can be separation - for the mystical eye this is liberation. only by letting go, only by falling, I touch my perfection. only by dissolving I reach my destination.

soulmate

SOULMATE Here is a question a friend asked me this morning? “Is there such thing as soulmate?” First, what is soul? It is the intelligence that inhabits the body, timelessness within us, the eternal.” It is the source. Body without the soul is like a bulb without a electricity, a flower without a fragrance, the sun without light. So does the soul need a mate? Not at all. What is already sublime and complete and whole does not need a mate, it does not depend one someone’s approval. It does not need a wind to blow it. It moves on its own. It is divine and ancient and fresh at the same time, It is the very sound everyone utters but cannot repeat It.

the voice of fear

When you listen to the voice of fear, It will make you hold onto what you already know. It will say to you “don’t go beyond that line. It can be dangerous….” allow yourself to get lost in the strangest land. dip yourself into the honey of the unheard and stay there and say nothing. That is how you can rediscover yourself anew and any kind of container you can imagine, cannot contain your perfume.

the way of love

the way of love is wild and strange. It does not need a recommendation from someone. it does not need a background check. it does not know gender. It does not care for your status – as soon as you turn your gaze towards your heart, it recognizes you immediately and gives you its own body, its precious breath, its own warmth and its very life.

serenity

there are ten thousand ways daisies bloom. behind all of them, there is one vastness called serenity look how everything wants to circle around you when you start loving with all of your heart. look how life wants to pour itself into you when you are open and fearless and naked and ready to burn. Look how you shine when you give up all attachments.

mind’s strategy

WATCH Are you someone who likes to preoccupy yourself with many things at a time so that you cannot have time for something that matters most in your life? are you someone who’s totally identified with your job, someone who’s likes running around like a starving cow? if so, it is not your fault dear one. you are an innocent child trying to live in the civilization that honors what you do more than who you are. It is your mind’s strategy to prevent you from slowing down and turning inward to meet with your authentic self. When you notice this happening, just be present with all of yourself and watch – don’t participate. Don’t judge or blame either. Just watch. Magic will happen.

who’s running your life?

trying hard is not the way of love. be grounded where you are. let go of the worn-out straw you’re holding onto. Let go --------- and with complete honesty, look at what you’re afraid of. who’s clinging? who’s afraid? Is it you or just an idea? who’s running your life? who’s driving your car? is it light or shadow? who is sitting on the throne? Is it the ego or knowingness? and who’s looking?

living and surviving

What is the difference between living and surviving? that is a question someone asked me today – there is a big difference. to survive you only need your five senses – that’s all you need. the intellect. to live, you need to participate with all of yourself in the dance of existence. the part of you that doubts and worries and judges and fears must fade away like a false tattoo so that your true essence bursts from within and shines through. your whole being catches fire and every atom in your body begins to shiver with infinite gratitude and compassion. at this point you don't struggle any more because life is not work at all. life is a play. life is poetry. It is dance and you are a dancer.

great harm

no one can cause a great harm than someone who forgets who he is - someone who disregards the light deep in his heart.

Only falsehood

Only falsehood needs description. truth is plain and simple and direct and clear like the ocean without ripples - serene like sleep without dreams, like the sky without clouds -

fundamentally missing

As long as you are not ready to put down your luggage, as long as you are not awake, something is always wrong within you. something is fundamentally missing and there is pain you cannot run away from. and no matter how wealthy you are, no matter how prestigious you are – no matter how educated you are --- the pain will go wherever you go until you are ready to dissolve into love, until you wake up from the illusion of this world.
