Devotee:  You my Lord

Are my Only God

Never think of anyone thus

Love you thus as my God

God:  “Your God meaning?”

Devotee:  The One I turn to when in need

You, a shoulder I cry upon when the world

Proves too much

Look up to you for everything

God: You turn to me in need

 Yes Indeed!!

When not in need?

Forgotten?

Devotee: No dear Lord I remember you every week

Of course make offerings

For your blessings

God: Yes of course

One rupee in return for a lakh

And a million curses should I not oblige?

I am the Creator what would I want more?

Creation Born of Fulfillment

Eternity

Seeks none

Favours none

You love me

As one who fulfils your every need

Cry out in sorrow

I am just a support a source of solace?

I am such

But  am much,  much more should you see me as you

In happiness and sorrow

In times of agony and ecstasy

The unchanging One that remains

Unite with me

As is me

and that unruffled state is yours

In joy and sorrow

In success and failure

All opposites are twins born

They are always together

Look beyond both polarites

The Ulimate One

That is me and that is in fact… You

I stepped in through the doors

of the place once home

Memories came flooding by

Of children their laughter

And clatter

Memories of seasons gone by

Of fun and frolic

Laughter and sorrow

Then for just a moment

Just let the memories go by

Experienced the stillness left

Behind

Like a sky when the clouds pass

A stillness present

Then and now

Eternally

A space untouched by none

Without a name

Eternity

Looked down upon my dress stained

While at work

Wondered why I did not wear an apron

For it would have kept the stains off

Then as I wore the apron there came a little whisper from deep within

"Just as you wear an apron to work

To come out of work unstained and unhurt

Thus shall  you wear the apron of non-attachment

Not be stained by like and dislike

Opposites of every color and hue

Working living a full life of all hues

Yet untouched by  all"

See the miracle called world

to see the mystery

Or the misery?

To see each as a link in an eternal dance

Of eternity

Particles in a giant wave

Of colors of infinite hues

Each of breathtaking brilliance

The universe is forever new

Its in the now

Forever

The misery is in the passing

It cannot last even if you would wish it to

Watch the mystery of this universe

Its eternal…………..

Yours Truly

To Love that One
You need forsake none
Simply claim all as your own

Not ‘own’ as in ‘posses’
Simply hold at heart so near
That all are dear

Divine is not a jealous spouse
To demand exclusivity in Love
Simple ‘inclusivity’
Love that encompasses all

Not to escape this world
But embrace as one’s own

This is Liberation of the subtle kind
Eternally free
Yet ‘eternally yours truly’

Just Watch…….

Who creates differences between you and your loved ones, the ones who you hold near and dear?

Many a time its your very own mind, with its tendency to magnify differences

The mind is a wonderful machine a quirky kind of magnifying glass which knows only to magnify the ‘faults’ of others and ‘good’ in you.

The mind is your best friend and your deadliest enemy. It can elevate you to a higher plane of thinking and consciousness, when it dwells on the oneness around or can push you into the world of division, comparison, judgmental thinking.

So when such thoughts of divisions come, followed by comparison and judgment,

The way out is to tell oneself ‘yes differences exist as each of us is designed this way’.

This brings in acceptance. Acceptance is not tolerance. Tolerance is a kind of repression through which one just is forced to put up with a lot of things. Acceptance implies ‘no why about it’ attitude, in full awareness of the underlying oneness with all around.

Acceptance paves the way for expansion of one's being. When there is no conflict in the mind, then its possible to retrieve a situation, to transform a problem into a solution. A solution will never come, no matter how hard one tries, when there a million ‘whys’ screaming within.
