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.

When lovers sit together
When lovers sit together,
there is no forever
between them-
there is only
eternity –
buried seeds part
their lips to sing
from underground -
the mind becomes
empty of stories -
every single gaze
in the eye
brings new openings -
All movement
become stillness.
time does not
want to stay
meaningless -
It wants to transform
Into a song –
scent of now
do you know
why you are
fragrant and sweet?
because you are
the scent of Now.
if you hold a piece
of stone, the stone
will start singing
in your hand.
Don't ask why this
happens.
close your eyes and
vanish into yourself.
With our ears
With our ears
the cosmos hear –
With our tongue
the cosmos taste –
With our eyes
the cosmos see
everything that
holds us together –
You are the thing
that holds us
together –
you are the sweetness
in our mouth when
we feel the root
of hunger -
you are the road
and the traveler –
You are the music
And the one who
Plays music –
You are honey as
well as what
makes the honey
sweet -
without attachment
The moon
look at the moon
on a dark sky –
look at the sky and
the earth –
look at a flower
and a daybreak and
worms coming out of
the ground
in spring –
You ask me why they are
so free and so vibrant
and so alive –
I can only tell you
One thing out of many -
they love without
attachment.

in great danger
When you
are not ready and
willing to see another
human being inside
yourself and yourself in
another human being,
there is a noticeable fear
of separation that makes
you worry for your safety.
It makes you worry
that you are in great danger –
It makes you think that
the world is a dangerous place
to live.
It is this worry that in turn
make you a gun owner so that
You can protect yourself
from another person.
words
No matter how elegant
the words are –
no matter how embroidered
and rich they are –
no matter how playful
and tasty they are -
they cannot reveal or touch
the truth
in fact too much
words can cover up the emptiness
of truth -
no matter how
articulate and
persuasive the speaker is -
words can only point to it -
they can walk you closer
to the entryway of truth –
but they cannot enter -
but they cannot on your behalf -
It is up to you to gather
your strength and walk in.
sometimes be empty of words
and allow the truth to remain
naked.
permanent residence
do you know why
you suffer?
you live in a temporary
world and yet you
apply for a permanent
residence and you become
truly disappointed if it does
not come in the mail.
to be remembered
f 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 -
rest
here is my little prayer for you
dear companion -
may all this restlessness,
all this insanity
and all this rushing towards
time be over soon
and you and I will rest
here and bloom in silence -
even this night that
you are running away from
wants to hold you with deep respect
when you are willing to
rest.
why waste your strength on something
that cannot open your chest
and make you softer?
have you ever heard of this
sweetness that remains
in your heart
after all other sweetness
are washed out?
whatever you're afraid of
whatever
you're afraid of,
whatever you avoid
is a part of you
that wants to come closer
and hug you for cleansing
and total healing.
the heaviest burden
o live with regret
is the heaviest burden
one can ever carry.
do flowers regret
for being flowers?
do animals feel
bad for being animals?
Only humans have the
capacity to regret
and that prevents us
from living truly and
deeply enough.
the only species
Humans
are the only
species
on the
planet
spending
their whole
life
looking
for what
has never
been
missing -
a friend
A friend
Is a warm rain
In the cold winter –
You cannot know
When she comes –
She washes your doubt away –
She washes your jealousy away –
She washes your worries away –
She washes your fear away –
What is left you cannot
Know with the mind –
It is too beautiful
to talk about it.
the music of now
you may not yet
are done flirting
with your past -
The ego loves
the past!
and you still want to look at
your photo albums because
it brings you sweet memories
from the good old days -
it does not matter how
painful the past was,
the ego still wants to
cling to it.
and yet there is still fierce oneness
between you and I because
your resistance to life
is only the image in your mind -
deep in your chest, you are
the music of now,
wherever you are,
Here is the only place you
can be and all other places
are inside here and now.
recycled information
you can know
so many things
conceptually -
this might help you
build your survival skill
but is not true knowing -
you are accumulating
recycled information -
only knowing your
nature can liberate
you from burden of
time and bring you the
gate of true happiness -
between you and Jesus
single and formidable wall
standing between you and the
Buddha,
between you and Jesus,
the only barrier between you and
God is your own mind.
when the mind dissolves,
not me, not you, not she
not him but only God
remains.
ring on God's finger
what is a medicine
that heals all heartache?
it is your
complete surrender -
your willingness to be still,
your undivided presence -
when all your limbs
catch the flame of love
and softness takes over -
and then what shall we become?
a candle?
a freshly chopped garlic
with wild honey,
a road?
a ring on God's finger
a new silence
or all?
the first light
toss all that
cannot arouse your heart
and tickle you.
There are so many
things you don’t need
In this world or another –
Close your eyes and
consider yourself a
soft whisper of existence,
the arrival of the first light
that we see in the
morning when we
open our eyes -
when you close your eyes
all this struggle to
be someone other than
who you are, comes from
a place of hunger –
have you seen a garden
that goes begging
for a piece of bread?
You are a holly wine.
Be drunk on yourself.
I want to see
myself in you
when you close
your eyes and smile -
self-discovery
It is easy to judge you
dear one, for the mistakes
you make -
It is normal to criticize your
faults and blunders
and misconducts -
but when seen from
the place of love,
you are not making faults
you are simply on
the path of self-discovery
stay awake
a true friend is not the one
who convinces you
to sleep and snore away the
night together -
it is rather the one who encourages you
to stay awake together
under a wild blue sky and look
at the stars -
Your dissatisfaction
Your dissatisfaction with the intellect
is the beginning of your awakening -
something inside is inviting
you to move deeper
and discover there is
something more
law of Karma
The law of Karma
is not a law.
It is only a belief
in your head.
It is prediction.
It is hope –
It is external pattern
that continues
to run your life
as long as you
believe in it -
when you are awake,
you are free and
no past can
dominate you.
no karma,
no fear of the
past.
Your Karma
is a dark spot.
an illusion.
a chain around
your neck -
when your awareness
shines on it,
the chain breaks
and you are free.
how many times
Don’t ever stop
flirting with life
and dating her –
no matter how many times
you goof
you does not give up on you.
she does not judge you.
fully give yourself
to her mouth -
let her be your wine,
the source of your
divine intoxication .
dreamer inside you
Be tender to yourself
do yourself a favor today -
there is a dreamer inside you -
awaken him/her –
it is so beautiful when
clarity returns to
your soft eyes again
those garments
Take off those garments.
They are hiding you
from the beloved -
You look so beautiful
when you wear only
your laughter and
nothing else -

if you're a healer
if you
are a
healer,
it is
necessary
to heal all
of
yourself
first,
before
you heal
the world.
creativity
when we talk about
creativity, it does not mean
to create something new –
There is nothing to create –
It just means to look
inside and call on the
splendor, the infinite
resource that is hidden
deep inside of you.
this silence
there are so many
people around you
who want to talk with you.
there is no shortage.
The world is full of languages -
Even dogs sometimes
howl at the moon -
but the courageous ones
who can sit with you
and taste the nectar
of this silence
are few like rare stones

honey of wholeness
One has to be fully present
to experience the absolute.
to taste the honey of wholeness.
you are under house arrest
as long as you carry
the past with you.
outer world
there is so much pain
when all of your focus
is invested on
the outer world
because you are
paying so much attention
to appearance not
the essence -
you are lost in the
temporary
manifestation
of reality,
not the reality
itself.
unknown
The unknown
is not really unknown -
It is the part of you
that is hidden and
unspoken and
unutterable,
the region inside of you
that cannot be touched
with thought -
the part of you
that is not a part
but whole.
don't look for a place
don't look for a place
for yourself -
there is no address that can
contain your perfume.
i wish i could find the
right words to tell you
the vastness of your heart -
like winds you are here
and everywhere.
heart of the Buddha
you've the eyes of Jesus
and the heart of the Buddha -
Come out at night
in the open field where trees
don't cover -
let the moon and all
the milky ways be shocked
by your beauty -
On entertainment
A person who’s job is to entertain collective ego has no time to be himself. He is busy trying to come up with something different to make someone laugh but he himself lives in totally misery. Entertainment does not mean happiness. It is for people who want to run away from their unhappiness. If you’ve noticed closely, in a place where there is so much misery, there are so many entertainers and comedians. True happiness does not wait for a comedian. It is simply your true nature. It explodes inside you like a rose in spring. I am not saying that you don’t have to laugh. Laughter is necessary for your health but you don’t have to buy a ticket to laugh. You can laugh for no reason. People can call you weird but does not matter? you can laugh at your seriousness.
you can also laugh at your foolishness. The universe itself is playful. God is playful like a child. Why are you so serious?
concept of God
When you go
to the temples or shrines ---
you can get closer
to the concept
Of God –
But when you enter
your own heart
or when you look
at a bird singing
in your backyard
when you listen
to the rain ---
or watch squirrels
chasing each other
on a tree branches,
or when you see a flower
opening to the morning
smile,
you are with God.
mask
When you remove
your mask and
look at what is
in front of you,
You cannot find
fault anywhere –
Everything
and everyone
is Irresistibly
Beautiful.
anarchy
all paths are good,
they are forged by someone
going somewhere –
but the path you need
is the one that takes
you to the center
of your heart–
the center that
swallows all anarchy
and holds everything
together -
that path can only be
forged by you.
That path is not Path.
It is walking on fire.
