your urge to feel special

your continuous restlessness
to be somewhere 
your urge to feel special, 
your deep longing for friend
that is always here
your endless wanting for something
you cannot say --
all of these do not matter
to the inner being -
they will dissolve in the
holy fire of self-discovery-
what would be your response
when life goes down
on her trembling knees and 
whispers
my friend, your association
with me is not enough.
Marry me now ... ?

sacred dough

Because
human beings forget
that they are fermented and baked
from a sacred dough called Love,
they spend their whole life
searching for it somewhere
outside of them.

fresh and real

A question for today -
As children we were fresh and real and very vibrant. When we become adults, we numb. What happened to us?
Answer –
Yes, a child is fully present and awake. She is also vulnerable to painful experiences. As she grows up, she wants
to survive emotionally. She wants safety and protection and so she eventually learns how to withdraw her full and undivided attention from the present moment and slowly avoids whatever life brings her. As a result her oneness with life comes to an end .

don't wait any longer

some times
a friend comes suddenly
and leaves us with a big
question -
don't wait any longer
for better days to come
or for something special
to happen -
Hope can be a fake friend.
melt now into the warm heart
of gratitude,
dissolve into this
love now.

mastery

mastery
is not the capacity
to compromise or control -
it is the ability to allow
things to be what they are,
the courage to
taste life directly

Let this be a poem

When you defend or react,
when you stop laughing
and start thinking with
all of your body----
you are not in the present moment –
your very nature is spontaneity, 
not too much planning or strategizing –
Still your mind -
Practice love and forgiveness
and gratitude and simplicity --
in short Surrender to light.
Let this be a poem
you recite on daily basis.

in love with God

When you are
truly in love with
someone, a tree, a stone or 
an insect - -
you are in love with God
because from deep inside
all things, no matter how
big or small they look,
they burn with the liquid flame
of God.
