I woke up
In the middle of the night
And went looking
For all that I possessed.
I saw my thoughts
Coming and going as they pleased,
My children claiming
What I once thought was mine
And love escaping
Through my heart’s pocket.
Nothing I own is mine
When I have dissolved
Inside the mind of the divine.
So I went back to sleep,
Mineless.
At sunrise,
I am baptized in the Infinite Ocean of Love.
At midday,
I sit on my cushion and disappear into Emptiness.
By nightfall,
I have climbed the eight limbs
To rest in Shiva’s bosom.
And that’s not the end of it.
No, not the end of it.
Sometimes I am up at midnight,
And if you peek inside the window of my soul,
You will likely see me
Whirling nonstop to the instruments of Love.
When mind disappears,
When body disappears,
When you disappear,
Bliss.
Atop the Mountain,
A ball of Light.
Beyond the Light,
The cosmic wave of Love.
Within Love,
You.
We drift away,
Far, far away,
On the waves of Love.
You over there,
Me here,
Us now.
We drift a ways,
As one.
To be at peace is to fulfill the highest purpose – union with God,
Express the greatest act – Love,
And to maintain the best behavior – nonattachment.
When you come face-to-face with God,
One of the first things It does is to smash your timepiece to smithereens,
So that you lose all concept of time.
To be with God is to be without time.
As long as you look for peace, love and freedom in finite places – material things, ego relationships, social structures – you will remain in bondage.
Only in the Infinite can you know peace, experience Love, and be free.
Like a blade of grass, I am simply a vessel made to express the wonder of the Divine.
You can give all the Love there is and never lose any.
