A happy window

I see a shining, piercing light, Screaming into my eyes, The diversity of things, Loudly announcing its existence. Telling me that what I see is fundamental, There is nothing beyond, I believed it all this time, Until I didn’t.   Just how can it be that what seems real to the eyes is actually unreal?  I used a microscope, And found an internal cosmos, All within.  And instead saw what I had never seen, With eyes closed.  How could it be?!  Empty vessels make the most noise, I now understand,  The light that is screaming, Is empty, And the light that is subtle,  Hidden and typically out of focus,  Is brimming with bliss, One reality illumining everything, I find an internal cosmos, With the power of silence and focus I find it, The all illumining, With no beginning and no end, Alive and conscious, Brimming with pure love, I swim in it, And find bliss in just being the light, Bliss in just being. 

I searched and searched for treasures outside, To satisfy the endless, I did not know, That deep within me, I already had gold hidden,  Waiting to be found. Until I met a powerful heart, Who had found infinite treasures, All within.  And taught me to believe, Gave me strength, And self belief, And cleared the noise. He showed me a map, To a gold deep within. So now I venture inward, On my adventure, Discarding the senses, To the beautiful inner treasures that await me. Where there is no beginning, And no end. I wait patiently till I find it. The magic of the heart invigorates my soul, I wait and wait, Patiently for the magic to unfold, And trust Him to guide me, To the blossoming treasures in my own Heart.

Living, breathing in skin and bones.   Can we love beyond what we touch, feel, hear, see?  Let me love like You love  A task so easy yet so hard  Having tasted love beyond the 3 dimensions in the opportunity of darkness You removed all the darkness at once  And filled it with dramatic light in an instant  Your love is beyond time, space and expectation.  Let me love like You love?  A task so easy yet so hard  This isn’t any magic  Neither is it creative imagination Or a work of fiction  But an experience in the opportunity of darkness  Just an ode to how much I don’t know  Let me love like You love?  (A poem inspired by an ancient Indian text — Narada Bhakti Sutra)

There is an ocean above us That equalizes everything  And the purest of forms guide us towards this equalizing ocean Can I lend my hand to Him? So He pulls me in the Ocean upwards? The Ocean He points me towards lies beyond all emotions and the conflicts of right and wrong  The Ocean is beyond all dimensions we know and don't know Beyond even life and death All He asks is to hold His hand so I can swim in it too He is the source of the Ocean All the great ones are there and continue to guide us there beyond the dimensions of time They see and experience an Ocean of reality beyond time & space and have jumped right in it Can we see the Ocean and jump in it too?  With a little help from these pure beings - Yes we can.

Sailing in the stormy waters, unaware what lies ahead of me.  A million stormy days pass, and I can start to feel myself give up.  I wondered if this was my fate.  Almost giving into defeat.  I clear my heart to the possibility that I can ride out this storm too.  Oh but I shut my eyes and focus on my heart.  And I see you.  The strongest feet came along that pushed my boat away from the storm.  I see you.  You were always there, I just had to look in my heart. And you came.  Many stormy days came. But I rode them out with a smile knowing you were with me.  Now we sail together  And ride out every sunny day and storm together.  We were always meant to be one.  How could I forget you?!  I sail in the storm, but there is no sign of defeat. Our love helps us ride every wave together.  Sometimes, we dance on the boat to the infinite rhythms of the waves. 

There is a certain innocence and optimism in thinking that Science has all the answers. We live in 2021 how can it not?! There is such beautiful naivety in that belief. Nowadays, many of us  are conditioned to be evidence based and we should be thankful to our education system for that. Generally, we don't make decisions in life without data backing it. At work or at home we make well-researched decisions backed by data and evidence, and when we do not have enough data, we generate forecasting data models and hypotheses to answer the questions using the power of the mind. To the ancient humans, when they saw the Solar Eclipse, they didn't have the scientific explanation behind it - so they had other hypotheses - wild ideas. As humans in 2021, of course we know why the solar eclipse happens, we know the science behind it. So for all the things we do not know, one could draw the conclusion that all the things we do not know or do not understand are just scientific evidence waitin...
