New year at dawn
Stretched out of bed with a yawn,
Woke up to the sounds of birds chirping at dawn,

Slowly the joy of celebration of the previous night came to life
As did the disaster and the subsequent loss of many lives

Both blissfully dead in sleep

Birds at dawn, that celebrate hope eternal
That shines as bright as a lamp
In the darkness of death and despair

There is darkness in light
Disaster in broad daylight

Light in disaster
Of human compassion and love
Beyond race and religion
Hope eternal
Life is this and that
Life is just like that

Light of Truth

One sun that brightens up not just this earth, but all the planets
In its fold
Just as One master illumines many

The stars that shine on at night are suns too far away,
They illumine too just as the sun
The sun too is a star

One Light as many stars
One Truth through many Masters
To sort, to chose is ignorance
He that stands with One
Close to his heart
Shall be illumined by the Truth that is Him
Just as easily as the sun warms this earth
Simply for reason, unasked
For a Master can’t help but shower
Love and Knowledge

Its been awhile since I have posted. I was busy attending a session on Zen Meditations. I had a lovely time. The perfect season to know Love and Compassion from the Master himself. One of the participants was a gentleman from Malaysia. He had travelled a long distance to be here to listen to the Master speak. Meeting a person from another land is always a new experience. He said, in India you are surounded by Gurus, a wealth of knowledge and wisdom Fish when told about water they don't understand that, because they are surrounded by water. In India you are surrounded by Masters, and here is a unique one. So unless a fish is taken out of water, it
does not know what is water."

Yes, I understood how much I take this wealth for granted.
To watch a Master speak is an experience. To watch someone give himself so totally simply, because he cannot help giving. Not for a reason, not for a purpose but just simply. Cannot help marvelling at how Master give so much

To be Here and Now is a blessing indeed.
The Present is a present indeed

Church

I walked into the church. I was seeing the place for the first time. Watched as people picked up candles and walked in silently, holding candles. I wondered how do I light mine. Then found all I had to do was reach out the candle in the person next to me. I experienced the same sense of joy I do when I walk into a temple. None the different.
Standing in front of the altar was a beautiful experience. Most people around stood with eyes closed. I could not close my eyes to the beauty around. I simply gazed on at the beautiful image of infant Jesus. I had just simply come here, to just be. Nothing to ask for but watch those beautiful eyes, speak a language of the heart. There was compassion, innocence of childhood, simply Love. To me this is the Christmas gift Christ gave this world. The eternal gift of Love, which grows with sharing And there I did see it in those wonderful eyes. Love that heals all.


Wishing ALL A Merry Christmas


Christmas Colurs

Green for prosperity
Red for vitality
White for the Eternal Truth

The Flame of Truth

"The Fire the warms us
As the sun outside
And the subtle warmth within

Are but One

Eternal
Without beginning
Without end
To search for neither
Beginning nor end

Is to light the lamp
Of wisdom within"

Today is kartigai

Thought to myself
'Have to light lamps tomorrow'
As I went to bed last night

Then came these beautiful words
That gently stirred me from sleep
To a gentle awakening

( Kartigai is a festival that celebrates the element of Fire in the Universe. Sisters light lamps to pray for prosperity in the lives of their brohers. I have no biological brothers.

I light a lamp today for prosperity well being and happiness of my brothers, for their well-being and happiness. The whole world is mine so shall light for ALL today. )

Masters and teacher

A teacher pours knowledge
He got from his teachers
A transfer

A Master is a lamp
Who kindles another
Gives what the disciple wants
Although the disciple himself is unaware of it
Wakes up a sleeping One

His Infinite compassion
Beyond comprehension
Yes Masters will be contradictory
To a mind divided
At one time they say one thing
Exactly the opposite at another
Many a times are mirrors that reflect
What they see
To say Krishna is a person and not a god
Is beautiful

That brings about an Infinite closeness
To call a Master 'God' is not great
It is foolish
To erect him on a pedestal
And then forget him
Or remember whenever convenient

Its to push him far away
Like yet another a new year resolution
Ever made never fulfilled

COSMOS

Man and atom seek
Fulfillment
Fulfillment is the engine that drives
Both atom and man
Into relationships
Material and spiritual

There is a cosmos within
A cosmos around
Complete parts of a complete whole

Fulfillment comes from within

Each seeks liberation
Liberation lies in
Sometimes giving
Sometimes taking
Or Just sharing
With another
Together we liberate each other
