* "Life on the Moon"

fight not your invisible enemies
for these are not battles that can ever be won
the real demon is the untamed mind
awaken as its master through self-inquiry
and enjoy the precious ride through infinity

Ive been listening to Lauryn Hill and coming to appreciate her spiritual wisdom...

"...truth comes from the inside not from the outside... we protect the outer man when our inner man is dying...... and we want to defend this curse..."

Khanna Uncle

living amonst us i took for granted your most special qualities
now you have passed and the tragedy is that I never touched your feet
bowing to your grace, humility and loving nature

you were divine and the most loving of persons
I thank you for the prayers you offered
for your peaceful nature, your radiant smiles
and for the softness of your eyes and heart

in your dance you were innocent and happy
you were someone that continuosly surrendered to divine will
suffering with such grace

you are sure to have an exalted birth
carrying your peace and understanding to the next world
you were a saint amongst us – a living example of godly nature

I offer my respect and prayer

myself

how can I truly experience beauty, love, joy
without seeing it within myself

doesn’t the bird sing
the flower bloom
from a love it feels inside

free will

there is no question of free will
the totality acts through us

true freedom is only had when we release our identification
with our egoic identity

our only responsibility is to act without regard to the outcome
being utterly spontaneous without interference from mind
will result in right action with no further karmic ties

action from mind is destined to bound to lead to karma
instead mind should be an instrument just as an appendage
from there wisdom may flourish

we

...our humanity is not an error.

Ram Dass

Control

there is no such thing as control

a friend of a friend of a friend

ego

just as stones on the beach
are gently worn away by the forces of nature
our egos are dissolved in time
through the grace of Mother

our world

The Divine creates from his will
Creation is but love manifest

Why do we scorn the very essence of life
And then spend our lives searching for that which we denied

Let us awaken to our purpose
To know ourselves as the One

We have taken this beautiful human form and made it ugly
We have forsaken our brothers and sisters
To pursue our selfish desires only to create pain for all

Let us find the beauty in each other and share ourselves
And rejoice in the knowing that we have been given life
To experience, to love, to be and to create

Let us sing and dance together
To the love song that emanates from the depths of the Self

Do not deny this feeling for another moment
Life is precious and it is calling us to rise

Let us awaken!

amma

i searched many lives, paths and clues
i have found the doorway in a place i least expected
not in the scriptures
not in the mystery schools
not in the stars or in science

through your grace i find myself in my tears
a heart opening to the sun like a lotus flower

amma, amma, amma
you are a living presence
the potential of man is found in the love of a mother

grant me the courage to blossom
and follow you to the Self
to the inner sky that contains all the heavens

your light reveals my greed, lust and selfishness
there is nothing i could have done to earn this flowering
i am purified only through your divine grace
