Self-help gurus can be strange,
What is wrong with the status quo?
Dress with a smile, be jolly, Yo!...

Or Gardeners
Snipping at Schedules
And Budgets .....

Time marches on so the gurus say
Brilliant deduction, the best for today
If time moved backward
Starting as an old bastard
Ending as a teenager riding a skateboard all day...

Of gurus out there,
it gives us a scare;
words oozing honey,
all they want's money.

When God is within,
why not go therein
seeking His embrace,
here, now, face to face?

All of the great religious teachers;
theologians and gurus
of every stripe
try to carry the message,? ?but
all of them are fumblers.

unlike mathematicians,? ?they try
to measure God
using a finite set of numbers....

Ever read the superior verse of the gurus?
For this prepare anon before it be too late,
Or they overtake you the wheels of fate;
A guru rehearses behind the translucent curtains
Till its fully baked the dough of verse;
Will you miss this gala, so monstrous?...

Lean not on gurus, for God search
Why prop up middleman
Sitting on high and mighty perch
Our credit card they scan

God within intimate
Here now immediate
Go in now, do not wait

Power, they abuse
Lean not on gurus

Earthlings are both brilliant and moronic,
drinking from a glass a potent tonic.
Devil-angel with free will,
climbing up a self made hill.

Shackled by our rancor throughout history,
the love of saints and gurus set us free.
Made of water dirt and air,
Earth is bound by earnest prayer....

Fake gurus abound, be careful
Why search for middleman
Be as God made us: beautiful 
No filter, save love scan

Light flame of innocence 
Our soul’s luminescence 
Blissful effervescence 

Fear spins us around 
Fake gurus abound

protecting others~
by sacrificing their own lives
warriors steal hearts

not only borders~
in hospitals too, white coats
saving others' lives

In schools and colleges~
building nation's character
painstaking gurus

lending their voices~
for just, fair, equal systems
warriors on street

They say dream big and have lofty dreams 
The inspirational gurus that is 
Well, some people in America think it is a caste system
And some people believe in the American dream 
Either way I think you have to work your butt off 
I am a dreamer, a day dreamer 
And a hard worker
Clawing my way to the top 
In order to break through the glass ceiling...

overlooking

 seems to be what we do:
overlooking the reality of the field
luminous..peaceful.. and available
the substance of all our days..
famous teachers
some acknowledged 
as gods and gurus
are just like you and I
but with a realization
(followed by notoriety) 
of the overlooking and a
simple waking to what is 
being overlooked..always
available to you and I......

Inflicting guilt and worries on children.
Disturbing concepts that help none of them…
Unless you want to keep them paranoid, anxious and in line.
But warning, gurus of guilt and angst, 
Teaching them the world is an unsafe place,
And that love is conditional, sometime backfires,
Paralyzing them, keeps your neonates immobile, unhappy, and perpetually sad
But if it meets your needs, who cares, right?...

The beat of the jembe, a pulse of unity between embodiment and self. 
The seeds of Ubuntu, our grandmothers sowed in murmured displays.
The grunt of a Kudu, an imprinted bellow of pride in the herd. 
To Witness Uhuru, if conscious of self a prophecy dwells.
The Black Conscious Gurus, a pride in depression neglecting oppression. 
The Black Conscious movement the beautiful course depicting progression!...

Thrown a lifeline
To pull us ashore
Arrogance declines
The ego scores

Water near freezing
Not quite yet ice
Latent heat transforming
Matter in a trice

Eons of conditioning
Buried in the subconscious 
Gurus grace uplifting
Makes ascension instantaneous 

Mere recognition not freedom
It simply plots trajectory 
To enter into a Gods kingdom
We need to rewrite our story

Dare we?

I
The man said, we are treated as children
By almost every tradition and religion
As with goblin, gargoyle, fairy stories 
Socialized into fearfulness: losing memories, lives -

II
Jesus taught, "I have overcome!" Recall His Resurrection:
O death, where is your sting, O "sin" where is condemnation?
Whether one meditates on space, or my beloved "Sky-ness"
Humble gurus you prefer, Pursue Peace (Shalom of Jesus)...

Wealth

Thou are of many a kind
And thou are possessed in many a way
Yet some find it hard to accord
With the view of thy diversity

Some are money wealthy
They can afford the world
Some are socially wealthy
They are the world diplomats

Many are scientific Dons
Yes, they make the world easier
Some are the artistic gurus
They beautify the world

 Shall I forget the academia?
The world’s greatest treasury...

Technology ascending
  Traditional religion ending
Robots comprehending
  Life's secrets upending

Black holes extending
  Cyber wars impending
Electronic devices contending
  Wizard-like gurus pretending

Media noise unrelenting
   Massive armament-spending
Extremism transcending
   Holocausts never ending

How much better now, our enlightened Life --
   Man's Progress measured in Death, Polarization and Strife...

Fake gurus, when questioned, sharply retort,
fearful that their false facade will crumble,
for knowing not truth, their teachings fall short.
Lest their fan following takes a tumble,
they evade debates, being not humble.
It’s about money and exploitation
of fearful souls who’re in agitation;
thus no different from a bird of prey,
playing havoc with people’s emotion
with straight face, teaching others how to pray.

For years I had a problem losing 
And putting weight  back on,
But after years of intense study
My problem is now gone.
I’m now four stone lighter
And proved that it’s true
If a man puts his mind to it
It’s just amazing what he can do.
In spite of the pressure and
Threats of violence and abuse
From the diet food companies 
And all those foodie Gurus
I’m releasing my solution 
For all the world to see:
I only eat food that’s been
Certified Truly Calorie Free....

Self is important; too much "self" is as SELFISH as cancer
Everywhere, self-help gurus and coaches help us do better
Lest we give up especially when young, pummeled by "disgrace" -
Freedom is desirable through education - holistic of course
I am not responsible enough to be the most important "self" around
So much misery is caused by leaders and thinkers who hate limits
Holy Spirit is here to help. But we coexist with many spirits....

Bliss
chakra
is throbbing
with full power,
gripping attention
in heightened ecstasy.
We acceptantly imbibe
the supreme divine elixir,
which rapturises our form in full,
as we simply melt into the current.

Form vaporised, we feel joy pulsating,
the light spherical with no centre.
Bliss oozes from each pore within.
We feel complete and fulfilled.
The gurus grace descends,
as we thus transcend,
as bliss itself
in fullness
within
shines.

It's a sad day when you don't 
know what lies to believe in,
it's a bad lay when the truth 
is far from relieving,

So I long for my own facts to confess
Til I find my own truth and nothing less

to bathe in the nature of this lane,
to justice's action, in this bliss gain,
             Independence,
freedom like I've never known,
to excel above the law as great gurus have shown.

There's more to truth than adding towards the sum
Now, I'm heading to the center of the pendulum....
