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

west from east
true liberation
arises
when you
celebrate birth
and death with
the same dance -
when you no
longer discriminate
joy from sorrow,
up from down
and west from
east.
what can coil and expand
what can coil
and expand
is not your true nature -
what can freeze and thaw
is not your true nature -
what comes and goes
is not your true nature -
your true nature
is the aliveness
in you that does
not react but responds
with total awareness
to whatever emerges.

Your first priority
What if
Your first priority
is to drop
all your to-do-list
and return to
your sanity?
when the roots
become one
with the ground,
when the roots
make love to
the ground,
the stems burst
with the juice
of ancient joy
and the branches
start clapping
their hands.
advice from a friend
What can truly
help you grow is
not security,
it is not advice
from a friend.
it is not a life filled
with comfort.
it is not a fulcrum
to support your weight -
remember all
forms will dissolve
in the end –
directly experience
the formless within you –
touch the nameless,
that which has no shape
or color -
don’t worry to learn
how the world
begins and ends –
your true friend is the
world you’ve not
seen yet and
a melody you have
not heard yet -
focus on what
is being whispered
through your
compassionate heart –
let the aliveness
within burst
into your daily life
don’t be afraid
of being drunk with
the fire of innocence –
only this can
bring you home
to yourself.

open your hands
when you practice
to open your hands
and leave them
open and relaxed,
you practice
the wisdom of holding
onto nothing.
you practice
the art of letting go.
heart language
What you are
in the heart language
is pure space.
in fact there is
immeasurable
spaciousness
inside of you
as there is
in the entire
external universe.
that is why it is
possible to say
you hold the
universe within
you.
if you are in a hurry
if you are in a hurry
to speak, it is your
head that is speaking.
Be still.
consciousness
will speak through you
from the depth
of your inner ocean.
Your entire body
will bloom and
your whole
being will shiver
with the energy
of now.

all of your strength
when you pull
all of your strength
together only
to focus on
eating, working, paying bills
sleeping and
having sex -----
you limit your
infinite potentiality
to expand and create.
My dear friend,
You are not here
Just for survival.
You are here so that
life knows itself
more deeply and
genuinely ,
you are here to
be drunk with
the wine
of life, to celebrate
life and to sing, to shine
and to dance and
laugh.
the sun dancing on your face
When you shine
You are truly serving
the purpose of life -
You are no longer
dreaming.
You’ve no regrets
about the past –
and you have no one
to accuse –
you are in complete
harmony with the
universe and
everything and everyone
wants to merge with you
because they see the sun
dancing on your face.

a dangerous practice
because
love is a dangerous
practice, the whole
world is afraid of it.
it is a taboo
to talk about
love at their conferences
and meetings and work places - -
love has a capacity to destruct
humans from their inner conflicts,
their worries and their endless hunger for war.
Most of all, the recognition of love
can reveal to them their own
shocking elegance from which
they've been running
forever.
like candies thrown to the crowd
Be done with
chasing flurries
of happiness
drizzling here
and drizzling there –
like candies
thrown to the crowd,
they are not satisfying.
turn within
courageously where
the fountain
of joy is awaiting
for you.
only through dissolving
only through
dissolving,
dropping
all the ideas
you’ve picked up
on your way -
until you return
to zero,
the reality
of who you’re
will eventually
reveal itself.

Kindness is not a liability
Kindness is not a liability
It is not meant to be
paid back.
let it ignite within you
like flame and be your
close companion.
in the region within you
that lies between your
resistance and surrender,
eternity dances.
your tender wings
in my writings
I constantly remind you to
accept whatever
arises in your life as
blessings sent from the
beyond to open our
hearts –
I am not however
encouraging
you to accept an oppressive
environment or a
relationship that is
abusive and toxic.
please don’t ever
hesitate to walk away from
anything that cannot
nourish your
tender wings -
all that is worth-knowing
all that is worth-knowing,
all that is worth -remembering
each day
is your authentic nature –
only this much
is required from you –
then the part of you
that becomes agitated and restless,
the part of you that worries
so much,
the part of you that questions
and fears so much,
the part of you that
wants to be a winner ---
all of these will dissolve
and get out of the way
so that your growth and
expansion becomes
part of the nature's
dance, limitless
and universal.

hundred percent
If you are hundred percent
sure of what
you are doing in your life,
your capacity to be filled
with endless wonderment
and spontaneity is shut down –
you’ve stopped smelling
like a human being
and have turned yourself
into a machine.
Buddha's bust
Why continue chasing
for the Buddha's bust?
why run after what Jesus
has said two thousand
years ago?
look inside your heart.
there are ten thousand
birds singing –
and countless moons
shining and
the whole universe
breathing -
living with guilt
living with guilt
means there is
no enough presence
within you to
dissolve it.
not enough
love has awakened
within you
to melt it.
you are not
ready to
forgive your
past and anyone
who were involved
in your past life.
you are living
in great pain.

Jesus and Buddha and Krishna ---
Jesus and Buddha and Krishna ---
did not come here to form religions
and have followers.
they came here to speak
of endless love and compassion.
they came here to reveal
to us that
their experience of the
divine is also equally
accessible to all beings.
your desire for awakening
In your desire
for awakening,
life wants to know
itself in its fullness –
existence is longing
for itself.
Something within you
wants to expand.
how much expansion
is enough, how much
growth is enough
how much dissolving
is enough –
how much can you
handle?
You are the one
who know

dogmas
my dear companions –
poetry bursts every day
out of this heart
and I continue to share
with you here -
Please do me a favor –
don’t take
them seriously
nor believe in
them because they
are not dogmas
or doctrine –
they are words
coming from
silence and
pointing to something
within you –
if they speak to
you in the most
intimate way,
you can feel them
and experience them and
then experiment
with them and see
if they help you
on your spiritual
journey.
Infinite blessings
Once in a while
Once in a while,
test yourself
by hanging with
difficult people,
people with whom
you are not
comfortable with -
this can help you
remove some boundaries
you’ve built for yourself.
It can help you grow and
expand beyond any
limitations –

only your emptiness
The mind
always questions
your fundamental goodness,
your infinite eloquence.
It is constantly looking
for something to worry about.
leave it alone.
a half glimpse into
your inner being
can tell you that
you’re here.
you’ve already arrived -
now you decide where
to go –
to a luggage claim
or towards your nothingness,
your deep clarity.
Remember all
thoughts and concepts
and all life strategies
you’ve learned,
all numbers you can
imagine are illusion.
only zero is real.
only your emptiness
is reliable.

why birds fly
do you
know why
birds fly
so easily?
because they
don't cling
to anything and
they don't take
themselves
seriously.
a hole in your life
questions emerge
when it seems
something in your life
is left unfulfilled –
when you feel there
is a hole in your life -
that is how the search
for meaning begins –
once you touch
the field within you
that throbs with
wholeness,
once you know your
true nature,
then all your questions
dissolve and
no more dreaming.
no more waiting
for answers…
immortal
You are immortal
as long as you don’t
identify with the world –
as long you are
not lost in
your body -
so there is no fear
of dying or being
born –
in you there is
field that
does not know
birth or death –
It is not enough
to say, “I am not
my body” or “ I am
not my mind’s activities “
It is very necessary
to realize it.
It is necessary
to know yourself
as pure illumination.

your destiny
This is how
you’re a master –
the very center
of your life,
the glory of your
existence
is not in
somebody’s
possession.
It is in your own
hands.
You are not
at the mercy
of your destiny.
You’re the creator
of your destiny.
you can carve it
in such a way
that it can hold
your brilliance
and your infinite
dance ---
in such a manner
that it can support
your expansion.
ten thousand broken roses
Why look for
a purpose?
you are a
Purpose.
why look for
light?
You’re the light ---
You are a sacred
silence out of which
the freshness
of everything
is born.
remember this -
a single word
of kindness
you utter each day
can restore and heal
somewhere
in the world
ten thousand
broken roses.
when you've nothing to say
one of
the most
beautiful
things that
can happen
to you is
when you've
nothing
to say,
when you are
empty of words
and thoughts -
it is time to be
still like a
garden
like a sunrise
and listen
to every little
utterances
of life.
many ways of making fences
If you look
sincerely enough,
every day
the world is
teaching you
many ways of
building fences
around you –
my precious friend,
do you forget that
the awareness you are,
does don’t like
boundaries and
the intelligence
within you
does not
know fear?

trying to belong
In the world
where everyone is
trying to belong
somewhere,
where everyone
around you
tries very hard
to be accepted,
being true to your
inner-most music,
following your
heart-pulsation
can get you
in trouble
and yet that is the
only thing
in the entire
universe
that can ever
make sense.
to come home
your constant
desire to get
in and out of
relationships
is not actually
to meet
someone
out there –
it is an
endeavor to
meet your
authentic self -
your infinite desire
to come home
and rest.
the level of God
to experience in each day
and in each moment the
Holiness of all things,
to smell the scent of God
inside of everything,
you need to raise your
heart-pulsation
to the level of God.

our deepest hunger
It does not
matter how
different we
look -
our hidden
longing,
our deepest
hunger is one and
the same –
that is to come back
to ourselves and
touch the infinite –
don't try to convince
anyone how beautiful
you are -
just look with
the eyes
filled with nothing
but love -
everything
that is false
will burn down
to ashes -
fantastic machine
Our body
is a fantastic machine
equipped with a
sophisticated
technology –
if we watch it closely
and patiently
there is so much
we can learn from it –
to mention few –
it's capacity
to mend itself and
its immense courage
to get rid of the things
it does not need
anymore.O
true prayer
Being
grateful
for whatever
arises in
your life –
without
judging or
naming it,
without taking
it personally,
that is a true
prayer.
