Break down the Door

The Goddess is calling you,
Can you hear her Singing your name?

She wants to dance

Don't leave her waiting
Not a moment more

Oh Dear One,
the Goddess should never dance alone...
Time steals away the nights,
and lives quickly fade away...
You left her Swaying,
in a field of Soft Blue light
Now,
Dive deep within,
Breathe in her Gentle Form...
Feel her laughter tear away
all the chains around
your heart


Dance in the Moonlight
With the Goddess of Love...

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

"Truth is one; only It is called by different names. All people are seeking the same Truth; the variance is due to climate, temperament, and name. A lake has many ghats. From one ghat the Hindus take water in jars and call it ‘jal’. From another ghat the Mussalmāns take water in leather bags and call it ‘pāni’. From a third the Christians take the same thing and call it ‘water’. Suppose someone says that the thing is not ‘jal’ but ‘pāni’, or that it is not ‘pāni’ but ‘water’, or that it is not ‘water’ but ‘jal’, It would indeed be ridiculous. But this very thing is at the root of the friction among sects, their misunderstandings and quarrels. This is why people injure and kill one another, and shed blood, in the name of religion. But this is not good. Everyone is going toward God. They will all realize Him if they have sincerity and longing of heart.

A man can reach the roof of a house by stone stairs or a ladder or a rope-ladder or a rope or even by a bamboo pole. But he cannot reach the roof if he sets foot now on one and now on another. He should firmly follow one path. Likewise, in order to realize God a man must follow one path with all his strength. But you must regard other views as so many paths leading to God. You should not feel that your path is the only right path and that other paths are wrong. You mustn’t bear malice toward others."

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa 

Origin of AUM / OM

Found first in the Vedic scriptures , Aum has been seen as the first manifestation of the unmanifest Brahman  that resulted in the phenomenal universe. Essentially, all the cosmos stems from the vibration of the sound 'Aum'

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” 

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

We Do Not

We do not get a human life

Just for the asking.

Birth in a human body

Is the reward for good deeds

In former births.

Life waxes and wanes imperceptibly,

It does not stay long.

The leaf that has once fallen

Does not return to the branch.

Behold the Ocean of Transmigration.

With its swift, irresistible tide.

O Lal Giridhara, O pilot of my soul,

Swiftly conduct my barque to the further shore.

Mira is the slave of Lal Giridhara.

She says: Life lasts but a few days only.

Mirabai

There is nothing but water in the holy pools. I know, I have been swimming there. All the Gods sculpted of wood or ivory can't say a word. I know, I have been crying out to them. The Sacred Books of the East are nothing but words. I looked through their covers one day sideways. What Kabir talks of is only what he has lived through. If you have not lived through something, it is not true."

Kabir

 

O SERVANT, where dost thou seek Me?Lo! I am beside thee.I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash:Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and renunciation.If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.Kabîr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath."

Sweet Dreams

                                                            Ananda Mayi Ma

Enough Oh Goddess! It's time to sleep...

and yet The need to tear away
the layers that separate your light from me

keeps getting stronger...

There's magic in your eyes
and sweetness in your smile,
that pulls me deep within
into the inner cave
Did we meet a long time ago in a distant place?

Was it you who whispered in my heart,

One night we'll count the stars together dancing in sky"

Maybe you've been here all along
hiding inside a dream
waiting for the right moment
to throw the oil on Narayan's fire...
I bow my head to you,
Oh Goddess of the night

It's time for rest,

Sweet Dreams...
Sweet Dreams...
Narayan

 

"If you must be mad be not mad for the things of this world,  be mad with the Love for God."

Ramakrishna

Nothing left

Slowly, illusion melting, nothing left just you,

Slowly, curtain gone , nothing left but you

beauty. life, everything,
everything... just you

Dreams of Narayan,

flowing out from you...

Sand castles washed away,

nothing left but you

Diving in the ocean,

nothing left...

but

you...

Narayan

“When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?” 

Kabir

Our Castle

I pushed him up to the first branch
as he tried to climb up
to his older sisters perch.
No fear
just the thrill of being so tall
and closer to his sisters view.
Branches cool against our feet
we all climbed to the top
and made funny noises at people walking by
our secret shrine.
The wind would move us all as one
and we laughed and swung around
like monkeys all gone mad

Lords of the Universe in our Castle
The favorite hiding place
No one could find us here..
and only our laughter gave us away...

Years gone by, still standing strong,
our Castle has not been broken
They've trimmed her leaves
and a few dead branches
but her bark is still cool to the touch.
She beckons us,Come climb again,

like you did not so long ago

When my castle was a place to hide
from the dances of the world

Back from school ,
there are still days,
when my daughter disappears..

Until we find her
perched above
in her favorite spot,
reading a book,
enjoying the view,
munching on an organic carrot or two,

Only laughter gives her away...

Narayan

Falling away

Things tend to fall away

not that we want them to

they just do

but the heart stays strong, a teenage boy

still loves to roll in the grass

and drive his car too fast

Things tend to fall away

the body stiffer,
the blue eyes squint

those wrinkles around the edges getting bigger

and what's with that double chin?

but the heart stays strong, still a crazy boy of sixteen

“One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.”

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be”

Lao Tzu

"This is Love, to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of Life. Finally to take a step without feet."

Rumi

Rumi

"Repeat the sweet name of the Lord with joy and gladness!

Waves will rise on the sea of the nectar of His name. Drink it ceaselessly and give it to others.

When your mind goes dry, falling into illusory things of the world, sing His name and glory and fill it with the nectar of love.

Take care lest you forget that great mantra. Call upon the all-compassionate Father in adversity.

Come, shouting, ‘Victory to Brahman, victory to Brahman,’ and break the bonds of sin.

Becoming a practitioner of the yoga of love, become intoxicated with the joy of Brahman and attain your goal."

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Ancient Om

Ancient Om

Two steps forward, one step back

Trust, dive in,

quickly close the door

Breathe, Fly,

Cry an ugly roar,

Dance, Sing,

burn a little more

Meditate, Remember,

spill nectar on floor...

Two steps forward,

one step back...

Two steps forward,

one step back...

OM! OM! OM! Narayan

"I've noticed that being with you, I smile more often, I anger a little less quickly, the sun shines a little brighter, and life is so much sweeter. For being with you takes me to a different place, a place called Love."

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” Jalal ad-Din Rumi

"I am not a Hindu,nor a Muslim am I! I am this body,a play of five elements; a drama of the spirit dancing with joy and sorrow." Kabir

Believe in the Great Sound!”

My God and My Lord

Eyes are at rest, the stars are setting.

Hushed are the stirrings of birds in their nests,

Of monsters in the ocean.

You are the Just who knows no change,

The Balance that can never swerve,

The Eternal which never passes away.

The doors of Kings are bolted now and guarded by soldiers.

Your Door is open to all who call upon You.

My Lord,

Each love is now alone with his beloved.

And I am alone with You।

Rabia

You are The Forest

You are the forest

you are all the great trees

in the forest

you are bird and beast

playing in and out

of all the trees

O lord white as jasmine

filling and filled by all

why don't you

show me your face?

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” Jalal ad-Din Rumi

There's a moon in my body...

There's a moon in my body, but I can't see it!
A moon and a sun.
A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can't hear it!

As long as a human being worries about when he will die,
and what he has that is his,
all of his works are zero.
When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead,
then the work of the Teacher is over.

The purpose of labor is to learn;
when you know it, the labor is over.
The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when that
comes, the petal falls.

The musk is inside the deer, but the deer does not
look for it:
it wanders around looking for grass.

Kabir

Like an elephant
lost from his herd
suddenly captured,

remembering his mountains,
his Vindyas,
I remember.

A parrot
come into a cage
remembering his mate,
I remember.

O lord white as jasmine
show me
your ways.
Call me: "Child, come here,
come this way."

Sri Akka Mahadevi


"I will play on the swing of happiness."

 

 

 

Whatever happened, it happened for good.
What is happening, is also happening for good.
Whatever will happen, that too will be for good.
What have you lost for which you weep?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has perished?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him (God).
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Whatever is yours today, it was somebody else’s yesterday
And it will be somebody else’s tomorrow.

The change is the law of universe.
May God Bless Us All.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Kabir Dohas

Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye
Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye

Translation
Slowly ,slowly O my mind, everything in it's own pace happens
The Gardener may water a hundred buckets, fruit still arrives only in its season

Once that divine love is obtained, one looks only to that, one speaks only of that, and one contemplates only that, It is easily recognized; love requires no proof outside of itself,it is its own proof. It appears in the form of inward peace and supreme happiness. One who has attained it has no anxiety about worldly struggle; he has completely surrendered himself, the world, and everything to the Lord.
Narada

I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.

Kahlil Gibran

 

 

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Jalal ad-Din Rumi (Persian Poet and Mystic, 1207-1273)

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

Kahlil Gibran
