this is how I knew

this is how i knew you are ready for awakening - you came to me and said you are tired of the visible world - you said you are tired of wanting. i took your hands into mine and showed you how you can start a pilgrimage into your own heart.

I am the eternal

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.

Different Kind of yoga

If you come and tell me four plus three equals six, I am not going to argue with you. I have reached at a place where there is no right and wrong. mystics and Baptists do different things to be in touch with God – not all birds have the same sounds but they are all singers- the same breeze blows through the forest but not all trees are touched the same way – some trees feel deeply touched and tickled than others. this is to say that none of us is higher or lower than others – look at how ants move or lightning strikes or have you observed how a horse gives birth to a mule? What we are all doing here is different Kind of yoga, a dance towards who we are. instead of fighting, if we allow people to be different, there would be more peace and beauty on earth.

BREAKING THE CYCLE

I want you to open your eyes and gaze at the paradox of life that always walks with us. As humans, we always hunger for light while running away from darkness. Tell me, what would you do if you were a tree? The first thing is to plunge your root into the deep, dark and moist terrain of the earth. You start from there all the way up, to rise to the sky and drink sunlight with your green and flexible branches. You cannot live deeply by avoiding what is not comfortable. Only by going deeper, we can touch what is mystical and transforming. Life is a magical journey each day if you are ready to look deep enough. To look deep enough means to break the cycle of repetition. What is familiar only strengthens the logical dimension of your existence. It cannot take you to the depth of your inner-most ocean. If you are satisfied with what is known, you move in cycles. It is like walking on the treadmill. The entire world is walking on a treadmill, from one body to another, from one womb to another without leaving the surface. You cannot taste the depth of life by going in circle. At some point, one has to break the cycle and walk like a lion in the woods, relaxed and stable. You are the only one who must start it. Why wait for the next generation? Are you not tired of being stuck in the physical body?

Being different

There was a time in my life when I felt I have made a mistake for being different from the people around me until one day I realized that it was not a mistake at all. The flavor of your unique nature actually supports the depth and authenticity of life. Your being different is a rare gift and anyone who is open and receptive can benefit from being around you. Your being different strengthens the wings of the universe and increases the vibration of the cosmos.

Dance of grace

Real prayer is not signing a petition. It is simply to express sincere gratitude for all of your experience, whether that experience was bitter or sweet or sour. Everything is the dance of grace. We don't blame this and praise that. We don't like this and dislike that. We don't chase happiness and resist grief. We accept and acknowledge whatever comes and goes. That is freedom.

A shift

For a rapid awakening of planetary consciousness, a shift is necessary - a shift from wanting to be in control to surrender - from movement to stillness - a shift from over-thinking to deep listening. so that there can be peace and understanding in the world.

I AM

Once again let’s look at the words I AM, together - I hear you saying I am tired - I am sick - I am hungry - I am bored. is this really true in your current reality ? I want you to remember that your thoughts and feelings can directly affect your every day life and the world around you. the time is now to observe what you say on a daily basis. what can be tired is not you. What can be hungry is not you. What can be sick is not you. it is the person you think you are and the person you think you are doesn’t actually exist. i wanted you to have a little respect for your essential nature. I AM is not a form but it contains all forms. I AM is empty and yet it holds everything. I AM is not bored. It the source of joy. I AM is not sick It is the center of healing. I AM is not hungry - it is the source of nourishment. I AM has no beginning or end and yet everything begins with it. I AM is eternal and that is who you are.

Slow down

Wherever you are and whatever it is you are doing, slow down- whether you are driving or working, whether you are having meal or going for a walk —- slow down - There is nothing you miss by slowing down - If your mind is racing don’t chase it. Leave it alone. Notice that your body is breathing- Allow yourself to wake up Inside your breathes - the space between your breathes is an open field through which life moves Stay there for a while. Drop all your responsibilities - If the world is a stage for drama, stop being an actor. Set fire to the stage. Tell me dear one, If everything is going the way it is supposed to go, what is the use of your worries? instead, be grateful for you are inside this vast and all embracing cosmic vibrations.
