Finding the Way



When your ego is bruised-
Don’t hurry to cover it
Go within!
There you can examine the stupidity of ego  


When your heart is broken-
Don’t run away from the pain
Go within!
There you can meet the true bravery of your heart


When you are frustrated and confused-
Don’t go back to your unconscious sleep
Go within!
There you will meet the wise soul of yours…


As when elements are subject to their free interplay
Life does find its way

When mind is freed from its self imprisonment
Spirit does find its way (back to you)


When  ego is laid down
Love does find its way (back to you)


So, whenever you are ready to surrender to your truth-
not his, hers or theirs
but YOURS
Then you will find the way -
where you are supposed to be

Desire




As God desires,
Universe is manifested forth;


As man desires,
The world of man is actualized


As I desired,
I came to existence


As you are desired,
You came to my reality


Behold the fire of your desire,
speak many men of this world-
Desire is the engine of all the human’s achievements


Behold the fire of desire,
say many spiritual gurus-
Desire is the root cause of the human’s corruptions


Behold the fire of desire,
says a truly wise man-
Desire is neither good nor bad
It fires up passion and creativity, with the right mind
It reduces a man to ashes, with the wrong mind


The problem is NOT we desire
The problem is we have lost ourselves in the desires


The mistake is NOT that I love you
The mistake is I have lost my self 
in loving you

One in All, All in One



While good health has one form only

Evils may come in with different shapes,
While love has the shape of heart only

Darkness may conceal within different shades,
While light knows how to shine through only

The foolish and the wicked -
are busy with how to have their names 
written in history book

While the integral beings -
Care little about their names in the other's eyes
but their own sincerity and their inner self 's calling
they all are so different yet so alike
reflecting each other in such a perfect harmony
as ONE in ALL,
ALL in ONE…

Looking into your eyes,
I see the luminous light welling up
But, how can you have not seen-
your own light?!

Looking deep within my self ,
I see the very soul of mine is -
nothing less but of a divine gift.
But, what have I done so far-
to honor such a blessing?!

Joy of a Different Place


  ‘ When she finds joy and wonder in every little thing, joy and wonder will always find her.’
-          Katrina Mayer




 Look at this baby-
who is smiling at you
your heart starts to melt –
into that innocence and that pureness
like snow melting in the early spring sun…


Look at that man-
who is smiling at you
his smile may be sweet and sophisticated,
you may even smile back at him 
but you will keep your heart guarded carefully,
You both are playing a game 
because of your inner knowing :
the smiles can come from different places-
or from a real place of the soul;
or from a fake place of the masked ego…


A child is joyful-
his joy comes from a place of innocence;
A fool is joyful-
his joy comes from a place of ignorance;
A man is still joyful-
 after being wronged by others many times,
his joy comes from a place of his compassion;
A man is still joyful -
after all the heartbreaks and tribulations-
his joy comes from a place of his inner strength…


Thus-
Joy to joy can be of different depths;
Man to man can be of worlds apart,
but to a fool,

they are all the same

Missing




As soon as you try to vocalize
the magnificent Northern lights,
You are missing-
ITS MAGNIFICENCE


As soon as you intellectualize your life
as a mere physical existence,
You are missing-
YOUR OWN MYSTERY


As soon as you need reasons
to love,
You are missing-
LOVE


As soon as you feel compelled
to define or debate about your God,
You are missing-
GOD

Just Surviving



Before I met you,
Love was just words.


Before I knew my Self,
I was just an imitator.


Before I understood life,
I was just surviving.

Half Full Glass




There are some-
 who rejoice for their still half full glasses
Weeping or rejoicing -
has nothing to do with the fullness in the glass
but it has everything to do-
 with the minds behind the glasses...  


Winter goes and comes.
It is a Christmas again.
You came to me in tears-
Last Christmas he was still with you
 and this year he is no more…
All the sweet promises seem to have disappeared-
 in the cold wind without any traces;
You are left with nothing 
but those unfulfilled dreams and a broken heart;
And you say,
you would never be happy again without him …


Time can heal everything, my friend.
Sun is still rising, with or without him;
Moon is still shining, with or without him;
Earth is still rotating, with or without him;
Your happiness has nothing to do with him,
or anybody or anything;
but has everything to do with how you CHOOSE to feel!


 So please my friend,
why settle for the crumbs of love from the others
if you yourself can be the source of all the love you desire;
why cry over a withering bush
if you still have a whole garden to attend ;
When your garden is-
 filled with blossoming flowers and sweet fragrance,
what's the need even to worry about-
 if there are enough bees around?! ...


So please my dear friend,
Let's choose love over hatred
even our glasses are only half full ;
Let's choose joy over sadness,
even our glasses are completely empty; 
Because who knows,
now the room which has been freed up -
can fill up with something even better and greater
