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

more important than life
MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE
in the civilization
where saving the face,
pride and honor –
the position you
hold in this world,
the roles you play,
looking good and defending
your position ----
becomes more important
than life itself,
to see the way things
are and allowing
what is,
without interrupting
the dance of life,
will be the most difficult
task.

Clarity
Clarity
does not come
from learning
so much.
It comes from
going beyond
the limitation
of mind and body.
It comes from
emptying yourself
from what you’ve
already known.

Something very precious
do you know
why you are
so beautiful?
Something
very precious
is hidden inside you.
Lit the candle in
your heart to see it -
let your inner eyes
wide open.
invisible
When I ask who you are,
you tell me you are Peter.
I say you are not.
you tell me you are
a market research analyst.
I say you are not.
these are all your mistaken
identities.
You may seem visible
but you are the incarnation
of what is invisible.
you are the embodiment
of a divine light.
you are a love song
and from inside you
comes the supreme universal song
that is not written anywhere
but in your heart
you are the presence
that pervades the
entire cosmos.

Eternity is in love with you
When you’re finally
ready to look
deep inside,
your heart
is infinitely
in love with you.
the entire universe
is in love with you.
Eternity is
in love with you.
Awareness
is in love with you.
If letting go ---
This love has no walls
a floor cannot hold it –
and walls cannot stand before its majesty.
Beloved,
If letting go seems like a tiny moment of death,
I am not afraid to die each day into your beauty –
and something deep inside knows this death
is the wedding to the light of the ocean,
the eternal bliss -
and I have now learned how gracefully
to turn myself into a white cloud each
moment so that you can lift me
up towards the throne
of your supreme elegance.
around the sun
you are already
the energy that makes
the earth orbit around
the sun -
you are the eyes through which
the universe sees itself -
whatever you add to yourself
through learning
interferes with the spontaneous
flow of nature and hides
your true essence.
echo of the real
why expect
everyone to agree
with what you do
or say?
there are infinite ways
of entering the garden
and dissolving.
none of these
are right or wrong.
they're experiments,
manners of
opening and closing,
finding and losing,
falling and rising -
don't get lost inside
this movement -
observe what is causing
the movement -
remember that
whatever fluctuates
is not real.
it is the echo of the
real.
genuine meeting
every genuine meeting
happens only in the heart -
when
our coming together
is innocent and free from
any motive and demands,
free from gender and race
free from mentally created
labels and expectations,
inside our meeting
the entire world comes
together singing
and dancing piece by piece
until there is no
piece left out

self-discovery
Where you begin
the journey
and what time
of the day or
night you
begin the journey
does not matter
at all-
for all the journey
in our life
big or small
take us
to a place
of self-discovery.
fearless
have I said
that already?
our capacity to love
and accept
unconditionally,
our readiness
to dissolve into the
energy of life --
depends on how
fearless, open and spacious
we feel inside each
moment.

starving for love
instead of being someone
who's starving for love,
what if
you are pure essence of love?
what if
you are love itself?
what if
you are a vast matrix of the
universe swimming in the holy
womb of universe,
the highest instruction of life
containing countless stars
and solar systems and galaxies
and expressed in the
physical experience?
Whatever you focus on
Whatever you focus
on intensifies itself
and grows deeper.
If you focus on your
Skin rush, it will multiply
itself and spreads around
your body–
If you focus on
what can open your heart,
your heart becomes
the sea of endless understanding -
If you focus on what
is lacking,
everything you’re in touch
feels inadequate and
incomplete including
yourself.
what is not stable
It is forgetfulness
that makes us marry
the tide and waves –
and everything that comes
and goes, what is not stable
then we suddenly have
many bosses that
push us around all
our lives –
those who’re awake
already know that
they are the ocean
and the sky and the
original song of
existence.

being available
and
being available
to life,
without
trying to interpret
it your way or
without mental
or psychological
commentary –
that is truly
the greatest
courage.
after the last moon
drop
anything
that is
delaying
your freedom.
Only after the
last moon is
crashed –
only after the last
snow has
melted –
only after
the last breath
is inhaled,
you will realize
that whatever
remains
can turn your
pain into
medicine.
garden of Eden
the ego
loves your misery
and so it cannot bear when you
experience true joy.
It feels small
and intimidated as if
falling from grace and
driven from the garden
of Eden.
a person sitting next to you
Don’t judge.
don’t blame
nor find faults
with a person
sitting next to you –
True understanding
begins when you allow
all passing phenomena
to dance around you,
without being carried
away by the wind
they start.
the angry person
If you experience anger
more often in your life
find out who’s the angry
person?
If you feel agitated and nervous
Investigate who is
agitated and nervous.
If you’re suffering from
panic attack?
Who’s the sufferer
Inside of you?
move inside and
find it out for yourself.
This can be a very liberating
and expanding discovery.

what dwells inside you
why continue
to doubt what
you are?
every single
particle in my being
pulsates with infinite joy
every time I see you
because what dwells
inside you is endlessly
sacred and irresistibly
sweet.
The songs you’ve learned
The songs
you’ve learned in
your entire life
were the ones that
energized your past
and intensified the ego.
now why don’t you
Start learning new songs
that can purify you
and bring you closer
to the holy fire
in your ribs?

the good news
the good news is
no one is particularly
selected.
consciousness has no
favorite person.
It hangs out with
all of us whether
we’re aware or not.
don’t give up my friend!
awakening is possible for
everyone.
new dimension of awareness
Children are
new dimension
of awareness –
they ‘re empty
and clean space
where innocence
dances.
You cannot teach
them how to be
present and alive because
they already pulsate
with the fire of presence.
be mindful of what
you teach your children.
it can be dust
that can dim their
natural light and
eventually contributes
towards forgetting
their true nature.
infinite intelligence
Don’t be terrified
if everyone around
you knows so much
but you know almost
close to nothing.
True wisdom lies
in the very core
of unknowing,
the infinite intelligence
that does not use words.
It is very confident,
stable and truly reliable.

your buds wide open
You’ve waited so long
for the sun to rise,
for a day to break –
you’ve waited for
the storm to settle,
for the moon to come out –
you’ve waited for
a tree to bloom
and for the rain to sing–
you've waited for yourself
to arrive ----
you’ve tried everything
in your power
to spill yourself
into all things possible.
now that you are
no longer a stranger
to mystery –
now that your heart
is closer to you
than your lips
the time has come for you
to mingle with the
force of life,
to become wings
and moon-nectar –
to become a song
we cannot rehearse -
to become the joy
and light of the sun –
to be the ocean
that holds the root
of our soul –
and to live like a flower,
with your buds wide
open in the sun-

love
What
is
most
powerful
and
yet
sounds
crazy
about
love
is
that
we
become
everyone
and
everything
that
we
are
in
love
with.
can
you
help
it?
your heart-ocean
I swear to
you with all
of my heart -
the
only way
you become
free is when
you move deeper
into your heart-ocean
and discover
your inner truth,
unassisted
and unsupported -
Truth is simple and
direct and available
to everyone.
it does not need
endorsement from
a guru or a
support group.
sometimes
It is like
this sometimes ----
a healer can
send you a healing
energy -
a priest can give
you blessings -
and a doctor can
prescribe a drug –
a friend can be
fully present
for you -
but you’re the
only one who
can heal
yourself.
you are the
medicine
for your
heart-ache.
rooted
ROOTED
Who said
life is a goal?
who said
it is destination?
it is rather a continuous
dance and discovery
and this place
where your feet
rest
has known so much
tenderness and love –
it is a windy day
today in Minneapolis.
do we know
where the wind is coming from
and where it is going?
wherever you
go, my dear
companion,
and whatever
you do,
be rooted
in your
innocence

beyond all conditioning
Only by entering
our heart center,
we can experience
our true nature –
where we can find the
strength to move
beyond all conditioning
and expand –
we can take out the
garbage on a regular
basis –
we can have the capacity
to turn ice into water
and form into formless,
we’ve the capacity
to release whatever
we’re holding onto
and this letting go
brings us to a place of
complete stability
and pure spaciousness,
something you cannot
grasp with thought,
it has no shape or size,
no tribe, no gender
or color -
Spend all of the bonfire
Spend all of
the bonfire
of your joy now.
don’t take
it with you
anywhere
for inside
every moment
a new energy
of delight,
a new taste of
laughter,
a new flavor of
drunkenness
is birthed
what has not been broken
You
want to be happy –
you want to be free –
but somewhere inside
the ego comes along
and says -
it is not time to be happy now.
You have to wait a little bit –
There are more important
things to accomplish,
there are
more things to fix before
you become happy -----
at this time, you don’t
really deserve happiness - -
then you believe it
and you work hard
all of your lifetime
to repair what
has not been broken -

another name for splendor
Once
you see
life in its
fullness,
once
you experience
this moment
exactly as
it unfolds,
without the
interference
of thought,
you realize
that
life is
actually
another
name for
splendor.
dance floor
Only
receptivity
and courage
can open you
up to the
deep mystery
of your own
fundamental
goodness.
then every particle
in your body
begins to dance
with simplicity
and infinite
majesty and
wherever your feet
rest becomes
a dance floor.
Whatever storm
Whatever storm
is arising either
inside you are
outside of you,
cannot reduce
you to dust–
no storm, whether
inner or outer
can be more
powerful
than your true nature –
and it will eventually
pass -
no matter
how many layers
of grey clouds loiter
on the face of the
sky, the sky
has never doubted
its essence
nor worried
for its safety.
land of make believe
This world
Is a land of make believe -
and this drunkenness
this joy of being -
It does not matter where
It started -
In the beginning or
in the middle of no where or where
the path ends and life begins –
None of these matter -
we are all here to jump
into the same ocean.
to throw ourselves
into the arms of great mystery.

melody in your heart
If you’ve not
yet met what the
world expects of you,
you’re not defeated
my dear friend –
you are trying
your best to stay
close to the
the melody
in your heart –
I do not know
The rarest song
that can come
out of your pulsating being
is when you utter the words
“I do not know”.
It is the same as saying
“I love you” to someone
you’ve not met before.
It reveals the innocence
and the spaciousness
within you that can
hold infinity.
