THE SELF WITHIN

The Self within, and The self without,
 Is what I am all about,
Says Krishna with a gleam in his eyes
But you can know this, 
Only  if you see through my eyes.
AND
My eyes are filled with LOVE, 
AND
I feel Love for one and all around ME.

For when you see world through my eyes,
You will feel Loved, Secure,Content, and eventually
BLISS
For we get what we give...

So imagine yourself in a burrow filled with roses,
Filled with the intoxicating scent of roses,
THE SCENT,
Something you can experience , but not touch,,,

The beautiful roses are me, the fragrance is me,
AND YOU ARE ME

For one can only recognize something if one has knowledge of it,
(e.g. a four wheeled vehicle is called a car, because you know it to be a car) 
So the joy and headiness you felt in the Burrow of roses
Was a feeling you were familiar with, 
AND,
That Feeling is ME,
That Feeling is Me Within YOU

Once you have understood this my child,
You will have crossed over and Merged with ME

I love You, and You love me, and when we merge together,
It will be BLISS and HARMONY,

For by then ,the veils of Ignorance will have been dropped,
And Desires worked out , or roasted in Meditation.

And in That Fullness of Knowledge  You  Will  MERGE WITH ME!

Seasons

And then the petals fell, and the soul was laid bare, 
The seasons had changed, and the petals had to fall.

Did the rose cry when the petals fell?
                                        OR
Did it accept it as natures order, the cycle of life
                           AND                                         
 Wait patiently for the next spring,
 Hibernating and resting

For when the petals fall,is there anything we can do,
But to accept and rest, and wait for the next spring of life
And blossom again as beautiful as before...

Thorns and Roses

Why should I complain of the thorns in my life, 
When the Rose doesn't ?

The thorns pricked my EGO and bled me dry,
Now all that remains is I, the Self, Brahmn,
                         PURE BLISS!!

The Lost Key To Happiness

I kept turning the keys of my mind, 
Trying to unlock one door after another,
From pain , to sorrow,to acceptance I moved,
and then,
I stumbled into Joy, Bliss, a feeling of Fullness,
It was only a matter of turning the keys of my mind,
And Releasing the Past, 
From the Hidden Chambers of my Mind...

The Last Lock Opened, the Key Turned ever So Slowly,
But when it opened the Door, what did I See?
A meadow full of sunshine with flowers and butterflies, 
Pure Joy!
And then I Realized.....
 That  THAT Meadow was ME!!

BRAHMN

You seek me Out,
When I am within,  

You seek me in Relationships
When I am within,

You seek me in Thoughts,
When I am thoughtless,

Dear child, STOP SEEKING, 
AND BECOME-ME

BRAHMN -THE SELF

I sit there hiding behind the dark clouds of Desire,
How are you ever going to reach me?


Not through your dreams, and not through your activities,
But by Stopping, Being still, Being....
And in that Being you will merge with ME,


For where does the shadow come from, but from the presence of a body,
Similarly ,where do you come from?
But from ME.


When the sun disappears, there is no shadow, 
and only You,
Similarly ,when the mind  will disappear, 
there will be no You,
ONLY ME


So drop this crazy, tumultuous, egoistic mind,
And you will find peace.
And from that peaceful mind,
You will climb the ladder
To merge into Me.

ME

I whispred into His ears " I am miserable"
HE whisperd back "You are what you are"

I whispered into His ears "Help me"
HE whispered back "Then Remember You are ME "

And I am Bliss and Joy Supreme, And I dance into Eternity..
Come dance with Me, And drop your pain,

Its only a matter of switching Identities!!

Time

Does time stand still, and I move through it like like the shadows of the sun?

Or does time move on and I stand still, just lengthening and shrinking with the passage of the moon?

For I am Brahman, the Eternal and you are the Time everchanging

Become ME, and then TIME will disappear,

And we will dance the Dance of Infinity

No YOU,  No ME, only merged together as I

Enlightenment

There is only beauty in the untold moment,
Till it drops into existence
And becomes ? What?
My Joy, Your Sorrow, Her Pain, Your enlightenment
OR
Your Joy, No Sorrow, No Pain, Our Enlightenment.

BEING

For the unrealised soul every moment comes steeped in its own glory of pleasure or pain.
For the Realised Soul every moment is a moment.........
No Beginning , no End
Just NOW  -  BEING

You can be the drop and joyfully ride the wave
or
You can be the wave and rise and fall
The CHOICE IS YOURS
FOR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF IDENTIFICATION

Memory

After listening to Swamiji on the Ashtavakra Gita Chapter 16

MEMORY

I am that Memory that makes you dance
I am that memory that makes you cry,
I am that memory that makes you forget ME
You have to forget You to reach ME
Or drop me to find ME.

The memories and thoughts of the Past are like a
Lodestone around your neck,
Drowning you in this
world , Samsar,

The older you grow, the heavier they get....
Release them as you would a helium balloon,
and then see yourself fly to ME.

Memory says I am going to poison you with the
pain of remembrance
OR
make you pine with longing for  remembered pleasures.

In either way I have captured you my dear,
and made you my prisoner.

How are you going to release yourself from me?


The basic premise being that when we meditate our past memories come up to the surface and these memories prevent us from experiencing the bliss which is our soul.
