Guiding Star

04b383831c5ffe327b62b20ab7752fa2

What is this world?
A whisper in an open meadow
Alive for a moment
Disappearing into air

What are you?
A ray that emanates
From an eternal Light
Born of a fire
That needs no oil or wood

Listen my child
All thats happened
Is but a gentle reminder
That you were made to
Surrender in patient faith

Tilt your face
To the place of prayer
And give yourself up
In both
Humility and trust

Do this.
Unveil the guiding star
On this journey you walk
So when the darkness comes
You’ll see the light
And know the way

My Pain, My Anguish

91d7887a718263412964ad3ae0e436ac

My pain, my anguish
Is dearer to me than a hundred sons and hoards of gold
Is sweeter to me than the nectar of celestial fruits
Is worth more than angels sent from paradisal abodes
Only in madness would I barter it for all the worlds

My pain, my anguish
Dragged me straight through hell
And unlocked the doors to my soul
I was forced to discover the peace inside
Hidden in the depths of what I thought was self

My pain, my anguish
I give thanks for in the darkness of night
It has softened my heart and made me wise
It has created a path on which I stroll
Letting me know of this illusionary world

My pain my anguish is only my Love disguised
My pain my anguish is my joy and pride
My pain my anguish made me who I am
My pain my anguish has brought me a peaceful life

Love is Cruel

113631b689c600948b11815c2fc2662e

O’ Seeker of secrets
Traveller of the untrodden path
Do not retreat in your footsteps
When you face the cruelty of Love

Love does not announce her presence
She forces you to seek door to door
Until you discover her hiding place
And understand her priceless worth

Love comes in the darkness of the night
Splashing water on those who sleep
This is when she undresses
Long before the rooster crows

Love ties knots inside your stomach
The Lover loses pleasure of food
For pleasures act as dusty veils
Blanketing the beauty of Love

Love carries an axe and hammer
Tearing apart all that you know
Your foundation must be broken
So you may be resurrected anew

Love has many stages
Blocked by obstacles of fire
Your dirt calls for purification
If you wish to climb her ladder

Love pushes you to your limits
That moment you scream no more
For in that moment you are done
Love requires your quiet surrender

Do not be disheartened
O’ traveller of the way
You have chosen wisely
And love is always there to help

You face great hardships
But with Love, your burden is less
You have chosen your eternal self
And that alone is worth the task

Being Open

e9b719aa8afcd3073924540933a74067

Accept things with joyful smiles
Keys are forged in surrender
The ‘practice’, opening the door of hearts
The place of receiving

Receiving Grace
Waters the seed of Life
Bringing growth to your soul
And purifying the dirt inside

Soul alive
It slowly spreads
Become consumed
Radiate light and love

In quiet surrender
Keep receiving
Feel the Life
Inside your life

Its warm and quiet
alive and vibrant
It moves your being
Guiding you to life Divine

In still acceptance
No thoughts and want
You become a sacred vessel
Where He worships He

In surrender, dissolve in self
Do nothing but follow
Moved in loving worship
There are a thousand different ways

The deeper your surrender
The more life in your soul
In experience of infinite Reality
You pass stages of different sorts

I’m just a baby here
Grateful for my Life anew
What I thought was my soul
Was not that, not at all

Beautiful Names of Divinity

il_570xN.274990706

Your divine names
Overflow with power
The lock and key
To all spiritual mysteries

In quiet stillness
Oft repeating, body swaying
Flowing in harmony
With the rhythm of life

O Most Gracious, O Most Merciful
O Most Loving, O Most Kind
O Illuminating Light, O Light upon Light
O Life, O Life without whom there is no Life

Your beautiful names
Whispered in reverential awe
Crumble a million and one veils
Exposing the naked beauty of reality

I ascend from the world
To sacred realms
Where I am the inner me
Filled with the deepest peace and joyous ecstasy

Time and space disappear
Soul and Spirit intertwine
And in this beautiful remembrance
The Namer is lost and found in the Named
