No Man is so rich
That he can afford Everything

Nor is there a man who can afford Nothing

Between Everything and Nothing
Lies Life

Where each of us have Something

To  GIVE

To Make our Existence COMPLETE

Renounce

‘Renounce for then shall you be liberated’

Renounce anger,

Renounce fear,

For that is the seed of anger

Fear is born from lack of trust

True fearlessness comes not from sheer bravado

empowered by ego

But simple child-like trust in Existence

Like a baby monkey that clings to its mother’s belly

As she leaps from tree to tree

True sanyas is to accept with Love and gratitude

All as the One

To share this world with all

For they are yours, to own yet share with all

This world is then a place to love and care

For there is just One

When anger comes flaming hot and red
Know that this too will pass

When fear comes turning feet cold with dread
Know that this too will pass

When joy shines brilliant as the sun

Know that this too shall pass

When dark sorrow glooms

As though no flower shall ever bloom

Know that this too will pass

Impermanent colors of emotions

washed down by the waters of time

Sprayed on a permanent canvas of Consciousness

Consciousness that remains untouched by all

A witness colored by none.

Shut down

When the “enter” key got stuck

A number of windows opened

One after another

Like a mind gone berserk

With a million thoughts all at once

In a million directions

To move on

The only way was to shut down

For a while

Both the comp and the mind

To connect back to the source

In silent mediation

Even if it be for  just a while.

Jai Ganesh

One so tall

One so huge

Breathtakingly awesome

With gentle wonderful eyes

That speak so beautifully

Of Love and compassion unlimited

A silence that is eternal

Magnificence of divinity in each

See Ganesha is the idol and in all that those

Around

That cheer loud and dance in joy

Omnipresence indeed!!

They clap and dance when he comes

And sing and dance when he leaves

Symbolize life and celebration

Celebration in birth and dissolution

There is brilliance in a worm

Beauty and grace

In that which in mundane terms

Is a pest

To a mind that seeks ‘a cause’

And use in everything---

Pet to some

Pest to some

Life sustains life

Yearn to sing to you so much

The Love that fills me so much

Have not words that can express enough

Love you is all I can say through tears

To meet you  I have to drop

To meet to merge

Would be to shed

Every clothing of this soul

Of the mind

Of the intellect

Of everything

To turn nothing

Nothing just the

Presence that’s One

Your absence invoked your presence so

Understand now why Radha to let you go

For in your physical absence

Did she merge

In your Omnipresence

As You in spirit

One with you forever

She was truly blessed

Yearn for this union

Always

To merge in that which is
