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.

Perfume of light
At any given moment
the world can give up on you
because you might fail to meet
its expectations.
Please my dear friend,
continue to be close
to the peace in your heart.
That is your resting ground.
In your attempt to make
everyone happy,
the flute in your mouth
will suffer and
you will make yourself
unhappy,
remember you have not
come here as a person.
who fixes broken
promises -
you have come here
as a wagon that
carries a perfume of
light.

On change
The problem is not that the world is changing. The real problem is, you are holding onto the world that is constantly changing. That has been the root of human suffering. What is the cure for this? To let go, to turn inwards and discover that which is unchanging and eternal, that which has no expiry date,

If I were you
If I were you,
my dear friend,
I will be quiet
and work on myself.
I will forgive anyone
who has forgotten his
sacred qualities.
If I were you, I will
speak only when
my tongue catches
the fire of grace
otherwise I will be still
like a mountain top.
If I were you, my dear,
I will surrender to love
because east and west,
north and south
meet in my heart.

House of God
D
You might forget this
but your heart remembers it vividly
There is no distinction between
sunrise and sunflower –
it is only way of speaking -
there is no boundary between
you and the sky -
don’t always run away from hunger –
it is hunger that makes God sweeter –
I heard you say, my dear friend
that love is the meeting
of two people –
did I hear correctly?
Love is not the meeting
of two people –
love is the absence
of distance between you and I
Love is when you look at me
and see yourself –
It is the union of
your heart with your mind and body
your oneness with everyone –
It is when you awaken
to the light shining inside your breast –
then you will find, everything,
everything there -
when you realize that
nothing is missing.
Then a lover’s breath becomes
the aroma released by a hundred blossoms -
and a lover’s body becomes
the house of God,
awakening happens
only inside this body.
it becomes the sky
lit by ten thousand stars –
and a trip to your heart does not
take a thousand years –
the heart becomes you and
there is no urge to
go anywhere -
in the end, the body and mind
don't even exist --
they turn into a guesthouse
of eternity.

unspoken wounds
This can happen -
When you speak not from
memories but from the
orchard in your heart,
words taste like wine
wrapped in the sweetness
of silence.
Those who hear you
Will be delivered
from their worries -
that is how
love opens and heals
most unspoken wounds.

CALMNESS
Just for now
put down your phone -
your book –
your to-do-list-
your laptop -
your mind –
your beliefs -
turn off your television –
leave the roles you play -
be completely alone –
Observe all noises
come and go –
don’t even worry
how the world is doing.
Just be here.
Here is not a location -
It is the entry into
the ground from which
all grows -
Be calm.
calmness erases
time and karma -
calmness
is not the absence
of sound -
it is the absence
of you.
It is the only way
one can dissolve
into this bliss
where nothing lacks.
when you love
This is what can happen –
When you bow
to a human being
passing by you–
when you bow
to an insect and birds
and flowers on your way –
you come closer to the center
of your own heart –
when you close your eyes
you see more clearly –
and when you love,
when you really love,
something in you
opens and you start
blossoming
honey of silence
Once the mind dips
Itself in the
honey of silence,
it won’t be interested
in jumping here
and there.
Simplicity
Fame or status or ownership ---
cannot satisfy you –
even if the entire world
bows down to you –
even if the sky knows
your name -
the world is getting
even noisier -
so return to simplicity
now.
return to emptiness.

AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE
this can happen to you
at some point in your life -
You fall madly in love
with life because
It is time to know yourself deeply
and directly -
It is time to surrender all that
troubles you -
you deserve to be free -
It is time to know you are here
to dance not to lament -
At some point in your life
you will wake up and realize
that the things people have taught you
on this journey might point
to some truth but they
are not your truth anymore.
Yes, at some point in your life
you will madly fall into love and
realize that other than love,
everything else is illusion.

EMOTIONAL STORM
Don’t get carried way
when emotional
storm moves through you -
touch it with the
moonlight of your
focused presence
until it becomes tender
and fragrant like
a lush garden -
storms arise
to shake you
up and make you
turn towards
the real, the one
that is eternally
calm inside you -
to show
you what
surrender truly
means,
to remind you
the purpose
of emptiness.

until all divisions heal
many lifetimes ago
when I grew tired of
the worldly life
I became a flute
on the lips of life -
She said –
I will play you until
all men and women
wake up to their
intoxicating elegance
and stop finding
faults with each other-
until
until the sun comes out
and the snow
starts melting.
I will play you
until
spring comes and trees
start blooming,
I will play you
until all
divisions heal.
wild forest
if you think life is boring,
start doing something
different -
at least once a day,
visit a place inside of you
that you've never seen
before.
You may stumble into
a wild forest with the
highest chakra or
a black hole.

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.
