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.

your destiny
when I say you are
in a continuous
dream state,
i am saying
your destiny
is being written
without your participation,
life is singing without
your presence -
a flower opens and
closes, seasons
come and go without your
awareness.
when you wake up,
you will realize that nothing
is happening without you
and you start co-creating
the universe and rewriting
your destiny in such a
way that healing
can happen naturally
and love holds everything
inside itself.
a hollow reed
be a hollow reed.
there is a great peace in not
knowing-
don't measure yourself
by the fruit of your actions.
whatever path
your travel, trust that
it leads you into
your own heart
in the end.
your inner stability
If you start
friendship with
that is the most
honored achievement
in your whole life -
and where you live
does not matter,
I will come to your place
to bow to your splendor .
you miss so much
You might miss
Things, people
and places –
and only for a while --
but by not knowing
your original nature,
you miss so much.
your sacred lover
You
have been
looking for
a companion.
I know you have
been looking
for the deeper
part of you.
Allow life
to be your
holy companion.
Allow your heart
to be your sacred
lover.
truth will soon find you
t is this simple: -
you don’t have to
go anywhere to
search for truth -
simply discard
all belief systems
you’ve learned.
Drop all opinions and
Ideas about truth -
Then, truth will
soon find you.
temporary
I want you
to remember this -
if you re moving
through mud,
it will dry.
If you re moving
through storm,
it will pass.
your problems cannot
be permanent in the
world that is temporary.
when you forgive
Do you know
what it means
when you forgive?
You take out
your garbage,
you cleanse the body
and mind –
you allow life
to renew itself.
you move beyond
the karmic law
and return to your
natural State.
from this state
whatever you do
becomes a divine
act that raises all
human beings -
the language your soul speaks
you love not
to feel complete
nor to drive happiness
from the subject of love.
you love because
it is your authentic
nature.
you love because
love is your state
of being -
love is the language
your soul speaks.
sweet dust
We are the expansion
and contraction of the
universe.
why try to uncover a hidden
treasure?
You are the hidden
treasure, a diamond covered
with sweet dust.
Don’t cling to a quote
Don’t cling to a quote
because it was
written in Sanskrit
or it was uttered
by a famous gurus.
Ask if it points
to something that
resonates with your
heartbeat –
or if it is true enough
for you to ignite
the fire in your
chest.
obstacles
Obstacles
Can be very intimidating
when you look on the
surface–
They don’t actually block our path.
They only redirect us to a new
Passage of existence -
They have no agenda to stop
Our laughter –
They deepen it immensely
because they open the entry
into the center of our true joy.
you are the awareness
You don’t need
some kind of training
to experience awareness –
awareness is eternally
with you.
you are the
awareness
direct your attention
from outside to inside.
freedom from your past
a prize
you can award yourself
is a
and future, freedom from
your mind’s dictatorship
so that your mind stops
running your life and starts
serving you
to turn within yourself
is normal
for most human beings to abandon themselves
and give another person the authority
to guide and manipulate their choices
and actions -
and it is also common to turn to another
person in times of great need.
what if you learn how to turn within yourself
and ask the brilliant sun, the great
intelligence within you,
what is that you really need
in this moment?
in yourself
The point is to
be continuously
interested
in yourself –
even when those
who love you
lose interest in you
and walk away,
continue to be
fascinated with
the depth of
who you are.
True sanity
begins here –
to be loyal
to yourself.
end of all worries
Knowing God
as the main
essence of
your being -
beginning
of life and
the end
of all
worries-
when longing arises
when longing arises
be sure it is deep,
brutally deep
enough
to guide
you into
your deepest
Core -
if darkness must come
if darkness
must come,
Let it come.
allow it to hold you
earnestly
It knows
how to hold you
and expand you
without telling anyone–
it knows how to
end your disappointment
If you stop running away
from it.
That is how you can
see stars and moons
shining from the
sky of your
endlessness.

LIGHT IN THEIR EYES
If 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 -

total intimacy
Life makes more sense
and gratitude returns
to its roots
not because we are
here to play roles,
nor to compare the old
with the new -
but to have a total
intimacy with whatever
appears -
to accept the world
as it is -
to hold hands and walk
together in the storm,
in the rain, in the sun -
towards our burning -
towards the miracle
that we are.
Ocean pretending to be a pond
tossing around
and stretching outwardly
is the sign of thirst –
turn within
and touch your vastness –
Know you are the
Ocean pretending
to be a pond -
INSIDE YOUR BUD
you
still live inside
your bud -
how can you
dream of spreading
your fragrance -
you are not
burned yet –
you are a packaged flame -
why do you talk
about giving light?
you did not find
the courage to melt yet,
how can you
think of flowing
like water?

to make someone happy,
By trying hard
to make someone happy,
you hurt yourself –
you cannot even make
yourself happy because
happiness happens on
its own when you
get out of the way -
ten thousand shreds
there is no higher
knowledge
than knowing
your timelessness-
then your heavy burden
and worldly grief will drop
from your shoulder and
crash into ten thousand
shreds.
after many years of deep sleep
let challenges come
your way from every corner –
it is to awaken you –
to give you the
needed strength
to be truly
yourself after
many years
of deep sleep
when you choose to shine
When you choose to shine,
what is the distinction
between you and the
light in the sun and the
wetness of sea water and grace
of a feminine energy
and forgiveness
of the earth
and the moon-milk and
softness of galaxies ----
what is the difference
between you and the
mystery that holds
everything together?
your emptiness
If your mind
is already full of
theories and viewpoints and
perspectives and even
beautiful quotes
to live by ---
then you have no space
for love –
remember love
wants nothing
but your emptiness -
I don't have a favorite color
I don't have a favorite color -
i don't have a favorite master -
i don't have favorite book -
i don't have a favorite country- -
i am infinite and hold the entire world -
There is nothing and no one that
is not one with me -
imagined individualism
By simply being
still for one moment,
all imagined individualism
and separation drops.
it means the mind has
been dropped.
at this time,
which is the birth of
timelessness, complete
healing begins within you
and without.
I looked for love
i looked for love.
i cannot find
it anywhere -
i could only find
the one who was
looking for love.
trick of your mind
God within you
never leaves you,
even for a second –
tell me dear friend,
how it became
possible for you
to be lonely?
Do you know if
this is the trick
of your mind?
infinitely tickled
Don’t feel embarrassed or awkward if you feel jubilant and infinitely tickled like a little child in your old age. The splendor within you has no age. It knows no worries. It has no name or color or gender. It cannot be explained with languages and has no concept of time.
I am eternal
When you speak to
yourself, “I am elegant. I am eternal,
I am beyond birth and death…”
You are not being arrogant –
you are not bragging either.
You are recognising
and proclaiming
the one eternal
essence underlying
all beings, all humanity,
everything
you can ever imagine -
at home with yourself.
You don’t need to
belong anywhere -
You don’t need to
be somebody -
You need nothing -
When you're
at home with
yourself.
love for no reason
I joined Facebook in 2007 and since then I came here on a regular basis and left a little reminder for you in the form of poetry. Out of these heart-felt sharing two books of poetry were put together in the last few years and thousands of poems still unpublished. Whatever pointers I have been sharing with you here can be summarized in a few words. “Love for no reason” because there is no ideology, no belief system, no religion that is deeper than the essence of love. Nothing in this world makes more sense than the act of loving for no reason. Blessing.

ten thousand mornings
Grace
does not need
your hard work.
it moves independently
of your concerns –
you don’t have to know how it
actually operates.
Your responsibility
is to leave your door
totally wide
open and let it blow
away your roof
then the nakedness of the
pure sky joins
with your own nakedness –
the language of the hidden
cosmos becomes
your language –
dimension of a new
silence is born
out of your ribs
and your radiate
like ten thousand
mornings.

your everyday performance
You are free
when your everyday performance
is not based on a desire for a prize –
when whatever you do is ...
simply responding
to the eloquent dance
of existence.
Friday, March 16, 2018
why rush
why avoid
hard times?
why run
away from
ordeals?
why come to
a conclusion
to soon?
why rush to
blame someone
or to give up?
everything
is working
together
to polish you.
fly
Fly
to wherever direction
your heart is moving –
Let nothing stop you.
You are not here to scramble
over the limited resource of the
earth –
you are here to keep the
eternal truth alive -
to burst into a thousand suns
and light up the darkness of
Human shadow.

karmic debt
Relax now.
there is a fire
that ignites itself
when you live fearlessly
and wholeheartedly -
that can burn
your past including
the accumulation of
your karmic debt -
everyday splendor
Everyone
and everything,
even winds and
sparrows
want to kiss
the lips that
trembles with
wonder,
the lips that
part only to sing
of everyday
splendor
and gratitude -
being aware
being
aware does not
mean to be superman -
it simply means
to be a silent
mountain while
a storm spins
around you.
it means
reading
these poem
exactly as it is,
not trying to
have opinion
about it.
the mirror
Have you ever looked
in the mirror and noticed
how elegant you are
when you feel peace
in your heart,
When you are free
from wanting –
When you are free from
the urge to be somebody–
When you are free from
stressful thoughts -
Have you noticed
how beautiful you are
when you are happy
with yourself?
baptize yourself
baptize
yourself
in the ocean
of love within you.
do this every moment,
as you get up
everyday.
light or beauty
It is not light or
beauty that you need.
You are already that.
What you really need is
the clarity to see them
and an expansive heart
to contain them
collective thinking
collective
thinking says –
you will find
safety when you
belong somewhere
and have something -
The heart says –
I hear what you say
and yet I remind you this -
there is nothing wrong
with belonging somewhere
and having something -
but authentic safety
can only arrive
when you
drop all of them
and remain
as you are -

I love you
“I love you” is simply
a way of breathing.
What I really want to say
Is that you and I are one
and my soul and yours
love to dance together
in the open streets
of existence.
I looked at the sky last night
and saw the moon in love
with burning.
I looked at your face
and saw ten thousand
soft suns trembling with
endless serenity.
Ancient one,
It is your presence,
your capacity to forgive
and your galvanizing
lucidity
that evokes brilliance
out of the universe.

the doer
When most
spiritual teachers
say that you are not
the doer,
it is not intended
to make you
feel powerless.
It is only to remind
You that whatever you
do, your body-mind
is not the author –
it is not coming from
the little you,
the separate entity -
it is grace that is
doing through you
and you are not causing it.
it arises spontaneously
because you’ve
allowed yourself
to be pregnant with
miracles where new things
are born constantly.
bare truth
This is
the bare truth -
I've searched everywhere
and in everything
but cannot find
the limit to your essence,
to your being -
direct experience
true spiritual life
is not having many
choices.
it is when all your
choices are taken
away and you have
direct experience with
what is left.
it is a fearless
penetration into
the core of existence
that has been
waiting for you.
intimate conversation
in few words,
letting go
is the
greatest bravery
one can display –
one of the honest
ways to live deeply
and naturally, to have
direct and intimate
conversation
with the force
of life.
if you're a poet
If you’re a poet,
don’t try to
write anymore –
let your pen sing
with delight.
If you are a painter
don’t try to
paint anymore –
Let your brush dance –
Let it pour golden
light into a
hidden threshold
of existence -
your aloneness
don't try to fill
your aloneness
with someone or
something -
leave it empty -
it is a ground
for your increased
self-inquiry,
a field where
you can grow
and expand
timeless
If your happiness
is independent of
any outside event,
then it is true happiness,
It is not stirred by anyone.
because nobody has caused
it, nobody can take it away.
It is not time-based.
It explodes in you
because you
you’ve recognized
something deep
and vast inside of you
that is eternal
and timeless.
human body
I've
not seen
a shrine
as luminous,
fragrant
and
miraculous
as
human
body.
It's a living
poetry.
when the heart is closed
when
the heart is closed,
when the eyes are closed,
when hands are closed,
when you resist life,
the soul starves
and the whole
world suffers.
intoxicate my heart
Before you
had a name -
before you had
a clothing –
before you had
a belief system
you were fresh –
you were heart and
Soul –
You were innocent -
you were a rose
that has just opened –
you were
intoxicating fragrance -
I want to see
that in you again
I want you to
return to that
state again when
the light in your
eyes inspired
the solar system.
I want to be intoxicated
by you again.
please be wine
and intoxicate my heart -
so many different ways
I come here almost daily
and share poems with you–
some people say, I am sharing
too much.
I say it is not too much.
It is simply my way of singing.
It is my way of breathing –
It is my way of allowing –
No matter how much I share,
I am only pointing to one thing
in so many different ways.
I am simply saying this –
Wake up to your true nature
and discover who you are –
and let this discovery be
an endless music in your heart.
unnecessary suffering
When truth
is directly
experienced
and deeply
realized,
you can put an
end to
unnecessary
suffering .
.
like water
be like water –
instead of complaining,
laugh and dance when you
move down the hill –
Let everyone
you touch
feel nourished.
weight on your shoulder
You carry weight
on your shoulder –
the world tells you
that is your shoulder –
it does not say it is
weight
and you believe–
and yet deep inside
something in
you want to drop
the weight and fly –
on the outside,
you want to argue
and fight with existence –
from inside,
you know love -
you long for acceptance –
you long for total surrender -
from outside,
you identify with
the noise in your mind
and you think you are
that noise,
deep inside, you
know you are silence –
from outside,
you love playing
hide and seek -
and yet in your heart,
you want to be found
You really want to be
found -
the whole world
wants to be found
not matter how
cozy your
hiding place is –
no matter how
you enjoy the
game -

hungry to heal
The world
is hungry
to heal –
bring hands
together –
gaze at flower
until it opens.
Pray and
meditate more–
bring out
the
miraculous
in you.
pour yourself
The world needs
tenderness –
it needs
your love more than
ever before –
Be present –
if you notice fear
inside you,
bring awareness
to it –
bring laughter
to it.
it cannot survive
your beauty -
pour yourself
into everything
you do.
It does not matter
If it is small or
big –
everything
can be
whole again.
everything can
start singing
again.
why you suffer
Do you
know why
you suffer?
You become sticky
like a glue
and hold onto
anything that
passes by you -
the doer
When most
spiritual teachers
say that you are not
the doer,
it is not intended
to make you
feel powerless.
It is only to remind
You that whatever you
do, your body-mind
is not the author –
it is not coming from
the little you,
the separate entity -
it is grace that is
doing through you
and you are not causing it.
it arises spontaneously
because you’ve
allowed yourself
to be pregnant with
miracles where new things
are born constantly.
intimate conversation
in few words,
letting go
is the greatest bravery
one can display –
one of the honest
ways to live deeply
and naturally, to have
direct and intimate
conversation
with the force
of life.
