Be the Love

dont get caught in the relationship
father, son, mother, daughter, friend....
be the love between

our language points in the wrong direction
with i love you, do you love me, i love this or that
our actions also falsify its nature
love is nothing that we actually do or receive
we seek love, yet we are immersed in it
nearer to us than breathing
merge with it and it is Oneness itself

do love, and it is from a desire
expect love, it is from a fear
be love, and there is only One

being received

love asks nothing
but to give of itself
no fantasy thoughts
or runaway ideals
just the simple joy of
once given, to be received

you

fall in love with yourself
and see there is only you
not as the drop but as the ocean

AGRASEN

"Instead of targeting a crane with an arrow,
I wish to see it flying;
Instead of eating away a nightingale,
I wish to hear it singing"

MAHARAJA AGRASEN

let love flow

our hearts are full of it
more than blood
the well is endless
it swells from nothingness
into eternity
find the spring
and be filled with it
until its unbearable
dance as the bee
fly as the bird
and shine upon the world as the sun
let love flow

unbearable

taking in the world
missing the whole
and seeing only the part
is unbearable

seeing the whole in the part is wisdom
sight such as this is love

Sweet Fragrance

love lurks not in dark places
or keeps herself secret
she roars as the waves
and is the gentle breeze upon the treetops
singing like a bird
she needs no audience
yet received she blossoms
with sweet fragrance

lost in dreams

You are lost in your dreams. Your subjectivity is completely engulfed by the dreams. It is just like when you go to see a movie. You know well that there is nothing on the screen. Still, you get deceived. When the movie starts, the screen is full of pictures. Just a play of light and darkness, just very subtle dream-stuff, and you are lost. You forget yourself. You forget the spectator, you become part of it. Sometimes you cry and weep when some tragedy happens on the screen. You follow all that is happening on the screen. There is nothing happening, but for two hours, you are completely lost. Buddha is one who becomes awakened in a movie house and suddenly shakes himself and understands that there is nothing -- only a wide screen covered with white and black shades; just covered with false, dreamlike stuff. He laughs -- not at what he is seeing; he laughs at himself -- and comes back home.”

- OSHO

love

love is abundant like the sun
but is also rare like "one in a million" seeds that blooms
still flowers are everywhere

like this we are capable of loving everyone
yet rarely does love take root
even rarer is it to find love in equal measure between two people
but when found, such a love fills the sky
and is like the seed in a million that blooms to be a flower
