Long Guna Poems

Shifting into silence, letting go of lower mind
Hitherto ego bound attention seems unfettered
We wonder what delightful pastures it will find
Intuitively going where rose petals are scattered

Meditational attention, poised without anticipation
Yet retains in the background a...

take it easy take a step back
you never helped me follow through
don' bother asking why
secrets so often lead to lies

every time i try
doubt lingers in my mind
twisting and turning and causing me stress
I never sleep...

Life is consciousness 
All encompassing 
In each realm
That is

Upon earth
Related to man
In the third density
Vital life breath is love

From Gunas* three
Our life path

At the bottom
Tamas or stupor

viewing an object of desire
immersion in materiality
losing ourself therein
slave to the senses
lustful passions rising
our thirst keeps deepening
correspondent to indulgence
poised yet as an animated thought
heart awaiting actual fulfilment 
wherefrom we gradually shift

Hear the heart beats from the galaxies 
surrounding us both
This is a one of a kind,
Outta this universe typa love
Can only be created & felt by us
Skipping past the black...

Don’t judge me with just one glance,
Deciding I don’t deserve a chance.
Don’t assume I’m a biotch by the way I first act,

Don’t stab my back and tell me lies,
Pretending tears...

Seems, something rare conquers the heart
Of some, whatever be the cause,
Love matters, seldom any laws,
In love, merit plays little part.
Maaltee flowers bloom not in spring,
When verdant green wood spreads its spell,
Lovelorn cuckoos when sweetly call,
What...

Habit governed patterns soul confining
Twirl us about in predictable grooves
An imposition thus self limiting
Succumbing to age old thought borne ruse

Tamas anchor, preferring stagnation
Inexorable pull of gravity
Satva Guna, flowing meditation 
Heart domain of tranquil serenity

Oriented towards...

Weighed down by the Guna Tamas
Stuporousness and animus
Veil of darkness shrouding the light
Dispelled by soul’s light, luminous 

Desires quelled, heart lotus shines bright
Suffused with bliss through day and night
Holding still, mindful attention
Acquiring thus, spherical sight
