Thought of the day

...if erst fears no longer nonplus ~
why does trance have a grip on us...

the direct path

...senses bemuse
thoughts amuse too
our goose is cooked

negating form
each life storm ebbs
conform with love 

no fears remain
feral stains cleansed 
heart’s pain is healed 

in body urn

Our glorious destiny

...1  Where are we

The path appears as we walk upon it,
crystallising right before our soul’s eye,
enabled for those with resolve and grit,
who to attain God, are ready to die.

If the God-searc...

Big boys toys

...Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
The genie granted three wishes
Yet our heart aimlessly drifted
Weary at doing the dishes 

Hall of mirrors made heart shiver 
Horizons blurred, goalposts shi...

Not an Excuse

...Without a silver spoon I was born,
Caused no riches that I morn.
It's not an excuse to say,
To a generation that you need to pay.

Erst a lawyer, he had a hopeless plight
Now, his future's brig...

Mindful eye

...Notice the decay
of form, here to stay
but our heart yet sings,
minding not life’s stings.

Notice the stark fear,
that dark thoughts draw near
but if we be still,
joy will overspill.

Noti...

The Self

...Who
or what
is the Self,
of which sages
speak in metaphors,
pointing but not showing,
pointing out that we are that
but know not, since we’re deluded,
thinking that we’re but this fee...

Defying delineation

...Each pulse is unique, so of this one we write,
tip of our nose, entwined with third eye and crown,
a vibrant throb of bliss magnetism so bright,
ushering wondrous rapture in which we drown
and as...

Wingless fly

...Walking the pathless path,
requires resting thought flow,
that in staid stillness slow,
we see without mirrors,
our soul’s innermost glow.

Walking the pathless path,
means we befriend the voi...

Have we seen God

...Is not God a concept, till we see Him?
How will memorising scriptures assist?
Conditioned beliefs make our soul’s light dim.
Love alone is real and that’s life’s gist.
A Hindu believes God takes ...

Release

...Ripples intrude in silence without cause,
strange since serpentine desire spirals rest,
so in witness mode, from our heart abode,
awareness self-aware, just looking on,
flows in and out of these ...

Is-ness of being-ness

...With no mindless questions to ask
Swathed in blissful moonlight, we bask
The vast void is where we belong
Facade of form, a cloak, a mask

Vibrant presence sings a love song
Childlike heart tak...

haves and have nots

...it is easy to speak of love, light and bliss
when one has somehow imbibed grace
but have we so soon already forgotten 
erst days of darkness in life’s rat race...

Growing Up

...Growing up we find that head rules the heart,
that we may navigate earth life with care
but from light of love now standing apart,
of soul’s fall from grace, we become aware.

As a child free bu...

Who Am I

...If we know ourself, we’ll know the universe
