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.

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.
