Dive deep o mind

Dive deep O mind,
dive deep in the ocean of God's Beauty
if you descend to the uttermost depths
there you will find the gem of Love

--Sri Ramakrishna

Oneness

Seek truth in meditation, not in moldy books. Look in the sky to find the moon, not in the pond.

--Persian proverb.

Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that some day you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world-so make the acquaintanceship of God now.

--Lahiri Mahasaya

a bright sunny day

thank god, its friday

and a zephyr

brings fragrance of Her!

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive
We are the dealers

Hail hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got the right of way
We ain't no legend, ain't no cause
We're just livin' for today

For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

simple man

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... don’t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you’ll find love,
And don’t forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don’t you worry... you’ll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

--Lynyrd Skynyrd

hidden in the bush

look brother

there it is

hidden in the bush!

I am He

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego, feeling;
Sky nor earth nor metals am I.
I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!
No birth, no death, no caste have I;
Father, mother, have I none.
I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!
Beyond the flights of fancy, formless am I,
Permeating the limbs of all life;
Bondage I do not fear; I am free, ever free,
I am He, I am He, Blessed Spirit, I am He!"

-from sanskrit chant of Lord Shankara

summer guest

If you don't invite God to be your summer Guest, He won't come in the winter of your life

- Lahiri Mahasaya

river flows

river flows
wind blows
when mind slows

strange flower

how does it look like
what is its color
how does it smell like
the strange flower!

foreign land

loneliness
in a foreign land
begining of our journey

lonely road

lonely road invites me
to the journey
of eternity!

Haikus

the day i met you
everything changed
but you remain the same

a silent day
brings you back to me
and i am no more

oh i miss you so much
like a desert misses rain
and a dark valley cries in pain

i can see you smile
i can see your eyes
i remember your smell
you are so close to me
so far away

Haikus

the yellow man
the yellow bus
here we go Berlin!


there is a Beck's factory
within each of us
but we don't know!


lonliness, my only friend
sometimes behaves well
and sometimes tears me apart
